Hi Ceri

Im just going through the final stages of editing the book before I try and gather my wits about me to post it on Amazon Im just a little long in the tooth and am a bit thick as to the various relationships that exist between various sites thus the question. I note that you do review books and wonder if you would like a read of The Quarryman's Son prior to its release. Im happy to email you the manuscript but naturally would ask that it is not distributed to others. Look forward to your reply.

Hwyl Taffy (alwyn)

The "Image" of Wales


Promoting Wales in the USA

I self published'the Quarryman's Son' on Amazon in the form of an eBook nice part about this is that potential readers can read a few pages of of the book to see whether it appeals before reaching into their wallet for $2.95. Ceri was kind enough to review the book and commented on his blogg you might like to read his comments.

hwyl

The "Image" of Wales


Promoting Wales in the USA

I have always believed the three colours of the Welsh Dragon represents White God ,Red our blood and language ,green our country. The mines whether coal or slate the latter used to employ 18000 men in North Wales and I might add sang just as well as the coalminers in the South are like the chapelsand castles that represent our history but do they represent todays Wales? Maybe an image of a Welsh Red Kite on a background of these contoured colours and maybe some black silhouettes of our historical past might add to a thought for the debate.Incidentally John I have spent the past half century in the Antipodes and recently published 'the quarryman's son which I think you might find amusing.

As a youngster more than 50 years ago we used to walk up Y Wyddfa at night during the harvest moon unfortunately there was no bus service when we arrived back at the bottom on Sunday morning so would then walk our blisters home to Caernarfon.I can assure you there were no objections to the floor of the coffee bar and the steaming windows those nights.
