Hello ED'ites,


Just a note to say that I'm a local journalist, published in Grazia, Marie Claire, Red, The Guardian, Times Style, and more, and my debut novel ??Bondi Blonde ? has just been published as an e-book (?1.59 on Amazon). Exciting!


I know there are a few book clubs in the area and I just wanted say that if any of you chose to review the book I'd LOVE to hear what you think, share the journey of the book with you...I've been signed to Curtis Brown with it and Holly Valance has read it and given me a quote for the cover...etc.


I love my 'hood' and all the creatives that make it the postcode T.D.F ;-)


You can read what the press has to say about it, and contact me, at www.lucillehowe.com, read more about me at www.curtisbrown.co.uk/lucille-howe and the book is here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bondi-Blonde-ebook/dp/B0080XQVMU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340374250&sr=8-1


That's all! Happy holiday reading, whatever candy you choose for your Kindle this summer xxx

I think it's just usual EDF sniffy banter Jumpingbean. The world is full of armchair cynics, many of whom won't bother their arses to do anything. Completing a book takes a great deal of time, hard work, motivation and discipline - whatever anyone says and whatever anyone thinks of the content it's a huge achievement so well done (and good luck).

Mr Ben,


What a delightful chap you are! Thank you so much for waving your virtual pom poms for me. I just wanted to spread some positivity in the community and offer to share my experiences...maybe inspire some of those cynics out of their armchairs. Lovely meeting you on here and thank you again for taking the time to write.


Best wishes,

Im not going to get on your case, and im sure its a great book given your background and the cover really is a delight, but if you come along for a bit of self PR then ask for nothing critical in return, then you may find things dont go according to plan. Good luck.
The critisism wasn't aimed at my book but the way my post was written. Not just PR'ing but offering to share my experiences and knowledge at no cost. The book is only ?1.59. Believe me, there are quicker ways to earn that than spending time communicating on this forum! Pls see note about negativity. I'd like to keep this thread as a conversation between those interested. Enjoy you weekend. Lucille x
I did interview her, yes. She's an inspiration...a real self-starter who made all her success happen for herself. She pitched her TV show to the BBC, and her book to the publishers, without any fancy agent or publicist. Glamorous, talented and ambitious. Go the Khoo!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
