What a night! At 6.15pm last night the doors were flung open at Newark Showground and within seconds the very first customer purchased a copy of #themightytrent. What an amazing feeling that was. Having sweat blood and tears over the past 18 months or so, my project had actually gone live. I cannot describe the buzz it gave me and from that moment on I had a very orderly queue in front of me that didn’t relent for the next 90 minutes.

Wayne Crier took the payments, Dave Leach stuffed the carrier bags and I signed the books and had a very brief chat with the customer. A well oiled machine. I do wish it could have spent longer with each customer as folk were saying lovely things that, believe me, were truly appreciated, but had I taken any longer I would have still been there now and folk in the queue would have been getting pretty impatient!

Let me just say here, thank you everyone, enjoy the book. Indeed, I’m really looking forward to your feedback.

As for the evening itself, check out the audience in this short video. The turn-out was sensational and a small fortune was raised to fund the junior section for another year. Well done to all involved.

So, book sales are now live and on sale directly from the Little Egret Press website. Pre-ordered copies start being dispatched today so keep an eye out for the postman in the coming days if you have ordered a copy. It will make any angler a welcome Christmas or birthday present.

I cannot thank Lee Swords enough for this fabulous review in which he reveals a glimpse of what lies between the covers. If you are fancying a copy for Christmas, please don’t hang around. Barely 200 copies remain.

It had to happen sooner or later. My first ever podcast. And being blessed with a face for radio it was perhaps a wise move to make my podcast debut in an audio format one with Keith Arthur! Enjoy it. Plenty in it there for some to disagree with. Indeed had I said nothing at all there are one or two internet warriors more than willing to disagree with that, too. Strange world, eh? But so long as it provokes healthy debate and discussion, that’s fine by me. Problem I had was I kept forgetting we were recording, it was just like a regular phone call with a mate, which it was.

Who remembers the good old days before digital photography? When the serious angler used slide film. It wasn’t cheap, was it? You eked film out till you had 36 shots to develop. Then you posted it off to the lab and prayed it didn’t get lost in the post.

Well, I learned there was another pitfall. This slide film was developed in the wrong chemicals, intended for print film, not slide.

I could have cried. In the space of a few weeks I had landed perhaps 15 of my best 10 roach of all time up to that moment. OMG. I can’t explain the sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach that left.

Oh well, you brush yourself down and press on. Catch some more. Anyone else have any horror stories to tell?
