by Seumas
Gallacher
Description
Humorous collection
of blog posts by the Skelat.com Blogger of
the Year.
From the author:
"…my Mama
always taught me to ignore people who wanna give me good advice…and I usually
ignore Mama’s advice on that…of late, countless gazillions of my faithful blog
followers …well, maybe about two of them, (thank you Uncle Fred and Auntie
Mabel)…have been blowing smoke in my ear about how much they enjoy reading my
posts …some people are SO easily pleased , eh, luv?…and they said I should
get a collection of them on to the Great God Kindle… far be it from me to rail
against the platitudes of the multitudes…ergo, my newest, freshest, innocent-est
little baby makes its bow today…Tarraa! …THE
BLOGGER’S GUIDE TO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...contained within its pages I can promise you no antidote to
non-performing agents or publishers…nor any KwikFiks to acquiring film
contracts and book deals by the lorry-load…in all humility, I offer you my
nascent bumbling experience in climbing aboard the Writers’ Rickshaw…the
immersion in all the unholy waters that comprise the Sosyal Networking
maelstrom…the soporific seduction of the self publishing universe…and
p’raps, just p’raps, provide an inkling into the marvellous family of authordom that abounds
across the Web…if it raises a mild titter, or even the suggestion of a smile, I
shall be well sated…please enjoy …if ye don’t like it, TELL
ME…if ye like it, TELL
YER PALS…Matron’s already
censored it, and as a result promised me an extra large dollop from the
syringe…here she comes…gotta go…see yeez later…"
Review
By Melissa
Mr. Gallacher's
'Guide', may be to absolutely nothing, but it will certainly lead you
somewhere. That somewhere may very well be to find a tissue to mop up the tea
you just snorted right out of your nose, but it's definitely somewhere! Mr.
Gallacher is an extraordinarily entertaining and funny writer with a distinct
penchant for bringing out giggles, guffaws, and outright
tears-running-down-your-cheeks positively painful gales of laughter.
About the Author
Seumas Gallacher was
born in the cradle of the Govan shipyards in Glasgow in the so-called "bad
old days" which were in reality the greatest of days, where everybody was
a real character of note.
An early career as a
trainee Scottish banker led to a spell in London, where his pretence to be a
missionary converting the English locals fell on deaf ears.
Escape to the Far East
in 1980 opened up access to cultures and societies on a global scale,
eventually bringing the realisation that the world is quite simply one large
extended village.
The lifelong desire to
write has resulted in The
Violin Man's Legacy, the first in the Jack Calder series.
Seumas says that
finishing that novel was one of the best feelings he has ever experienced in a
life full of rich emotions.
Vengeance
Wears Black, the second book in the Jack Calder series, was released in July 2012.
It will be followed soon by Savage
Payback.
