At last the cartoons are being drawn for A Brief History Of Lies. Calvin Innes whom I met at linked-in is reading the manuscript as I write and the cartoons will be with me before the end of January.
This leaves me the task to typesetting around them, and seeking a new proof which usually takes two weeks. Once that proof is agreed the book will be published and marketed so we are looking at a launch date in the third week in February.
I have held off specially to get the cartoons as I think they are the final touch. One of my readers told me the book was a ‘bit dark’ when I talked about how we lie to ourselves and I was of the opinion that a few cartoons in the text would bring out the humour far more and lighten those deeper, thoughtful moments. I had wanted cartoons from the beginning anyway.
Go to http://calvininnes.com to see the standard of Calvin’s work – I am very fortunate to have someone this good, and of course when the book comes out I will publish one of the cartoons on my web page as part of the announcement.
