Today is a BIG day shedfolk. For today, Constable Colgan's Connectoscope has gone to the printers. I am almost embarrassingly tumescent with excitement.

And YOU made it happen. Yes, you.

You believed in me. You believed in the book. You stuck your hands in your pockets and rummaged about. Then, when you'd finished, you went and found some of your hard-earned and precious money and, despite the double dippy doodah, you pledged on my book.

The result is that, in just under a year from me joining Unbound, the BOOK HAS GONE TO PRINT TODAY!

Let bunting be hung. Let angels weep. Let ales be quaffed.

Thank you so much.

I hope the book is worthy of your trust.
