A wee milestone this week.
After another trip through the giant donut I am pleased to announ that, after poring over the films of my insides once again, the doctors that be have once again confirmed a status of cancer free. Hell yeah.
Of course, as usual, I started off quietly confident then ended at least with small beads of sweat on the 'ole forehead when the results took an hour longer than usual to come back. At least now I don't get sick the day before.
Now this is of a little more consequence than past results. See, in some parts of the world three years is considered to be out of remission and cured. In Australia, they wait five before making any such declaration. Think I might move to one of those other countries for a while lest the Little Bastard get any ideas of making a comeback.
Anyway, so, good news. I must say I was a bit nervous that launching a book all about surviving might be a jinx (yes after cancer it's easy to worry about things like this) but as it turns out I am, once again, hopefully, worried about nothin'.

Introducing my first born
I am pleased to announce that on May 1 my firstborn was delivered to book stores all over Australia.
Weighing in at half a pound, this healthy happy bouncing baby has brought an awful lot of happiness to this proud parent already. So much so that I can't help but show off the photos of it coming into this world, below.
And the name? We've called him Lessons from My Left Testicle.
Of course little Lessons was delivered with care and precision by the good folk at Finch Publishing but, now that it's in the big wide world it is, sadly, on its own, fighting for shelf space against the big cashed up bullies of the book world.
Like all parents I am determined to give it the best start in life, hence this blog. Over the coming months, with the help of a few fine collaborators, I'll be experimenting with home-baked, no-cost ways to get my baby noticed and keep it top shelf where I'm glad to say it debuted in a number of stores this week.
We call it An Experiment in Guerilla Book Marketing. And we're starting right...now!
If you have any good ideas to add to the mix, then email them to me here.
