Not. They will both be in 2011. I am stepping on the gas now to leave me with less to do. Lightening the workload over a longer period of time.

I completed the last book in just over 4 months but I was working in overdrive, and the body cant sustain that.

"How I nearly stopped the 5 in a row" by D Fitzgerald with an insight in to why he hired a hitman to assasinate Brian Cody should be a good read.

He even typed it all behind his back while wearing a strait jacket!!! some achievement!!

That Fitzy book sounds great. Suppose the mistake he made was hiring Tommy Walsh as the hitman!!!

Whats Christy O`Connors book on?

After the feast of books last year, there dont seem to be as many this year. We knew that a lot of last years books were coming from a long way out. Theres very little talk this year.

The books following a team are the hardest of all in terms of the need for dedication. You literally cannot miss a match, which wouldnt be too bad if it was your own county, but for instance, Damian Lawlor probably missed a good few Tipperary games to do the Waterford book last year.

Whats the Ollie Byrnes book on Clare Hurling Voices thats advertised on Amazon about?

Looking forward to it
