Press Release Body = There he was on a restful weekend by the sea; enjoying coffee and croissant in a quaint little café at the end of the North Shore pier.
Looking outside through a musty rain smattered window his gaze was attracted to the contours of the magnificent edifice that is Blackpool Tower; drinking in the lines of the intricate steel framework that leads to the observation deck, to the twin platforms one above the other, and all the way up to the crow's nest.
Arriving at 380 feet there is a breathtaking panoramic view. On a clear day one can see as far as North Wales, the Lake District, the Trough of Bowland and as the sun sets on a cloudless evening, The Isle Of man is visible across the Irish Sea.
1. What if he was a scaffolder, a steeplejack, or a mountaineer? 2. What if he could scale this world famous monument? 3. What if he removed the Union Jack atop the crow's nest? 4. What if he exchanged it for fluttering skull and crossbones? 5. What if he did it for a bet? 6. What if he used the experience it as a publicity stunt to promote his books?
What if instead he crafted a tale wrapped around his daydreaming?
On the back of a menu he scribbled an outline, stuffed it in a jacket pocket, and forgot about his wild blue meandering until he returned back home.
At three o'clock in the morning he awoke to a torrent of jangled thoughts rushing around in his subconscious; unconnected thoughts that gradually joined together to form the nucleus of a tale; his tale.
Three hours later he had completed the first four chapters; a few days later he had his first draft and by the end of the week a final manuscript that was good enough for submission.
Then he broke his own golden rule of a lifetime: never submit to more than one publisher.
He sent his mss off to three sources and several weeks later received by telephone an offer of publication subject to contract.
And so his comedic novella "The Blackpool Tower Caper" is to be published by a leading fiction house and is scheduled for the bookshelves in the spring of 2007.
The moral to this release; storylines crop up at the oddest moments so when his arrived, and regardless of how inane it seemed at the time, he grabbed it, nurtured it, treasured it, developed it without delay - or it would have been lost and gone forever - and with it a golden opportunity for publication.
