Hello all,

Sorry I've been away for so long. I've been busy with new baby, new job and general madness.

I'm just surfacing briefly to let any interested parties know my novel Apocalypse Cow, which members here helped developed, is published today.

YWO and Ted are in the acknowledgements as a way of saying thank you, but I'd just like to say thanks again to everybody who helped make this stronger.

Anyhoo, if you want to have a squizz, click here.

Cheers,
Michael.

Many congratulations, Michael. I've been following your Diary of a Terry Pratchett First Novel Award Winner with great interest.

I see Apocalypse Cow is garnering great reviews both in the press and on the best book reviewing sites and blogs.

You've achieved what most people here dream of and let's hope it's a bestseller.

Congratulations, Michael. I first saw the original Coppola film on a blistering afternoon in New York City, sheltering in the aircon of the cinema. I remember a bunch of Vietnam vets in the audience whooping and hollering when Robert Duvall's helicopter gunships went in.

That's so great. Wouldn't we all just love to be published by the likes of Transworld.

Hope it's very succesful.

Cheers for all the congrats! Looking good so far. Hardcover is now at 915 on the amazon.co.uk rankings, which is not too shabby for the first morning of an unpublished author.

Congratulations from me also, Michael. I've been reading your diary with interest too.

I hope your novel makes the best seller lists and look
forward to reading it as it sounds fascinating; zombie cows and tantric sex, what an interesting combination, lol.

Best wishes, Karen.
