Shameless promotion

Can't think where else to flog this, but some people on Chockstone have said nice things about my writing in the past, so what the hell... I have produced a book of short stories/articles on Blurb.com, an online self-publishing site, and it's available now for sale. Be the first to actually pay for it! You can find it here... http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/630832
It's absurdly expensive because they are digitally printed on order (yep, one at a time) and shipping to Aus costs way too much, but maybe there are some rich old climbers out there who can scratch up the dollars. I make nothing from the sales, just the ego kick. Someone might like to review it one day in the Books section.

I'll just (modestly) add that the photo on the back inside cover of the dust jacket is quite superb. Do I get a discount?

If anyone's interested, the venerable C Baxter has (with permission) - put a couple of stories from the book here - http://www.broadcontinent.com.au/rockclimbing_mountaineering.html
