A Glastonbury Novel

[faithlegs]

My Dad has just finished a novel about Glastonbury, and I thought you guys might be interested to hear about it. It's called Facing the Music, 50% of all profits are going to the Glasto charities (Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace), and the kindle/ebook version is only £3.

He's been working on it for the past 5 years or so, and it really is a labour of love for the festival. It would mean the world to us if you could check it out.

Can't fucking wait for the 26th...

If anyone has any questions or would like to know more, please ask!

Looks interesting faithlegs, are you one of the "...rebellious teenagers are straining to break free and assert their independence."?

Haha, to be sure. He took me to glastonbury for the first time in 2002, aged 10. When I read it there are certain things that the son says that could've come straight out of my mouth seven years ago. Only a partial influence though, the book isn't autobiographical.

May well have to add this to my reading list

Just ordered it to my kindle. Love books like this that describe the Glastonbury experience. Am currently in the middle of the ''left again at the womble' sort of a diary about a guy working the festival (I believe he's on here?). Enjoying it, well apart from the occasional digs at everton fans!!

Will start on the novel after! Good release timing!

I'll give it a go!

I'm not really a Kindle type so I've ordered the analogue copy.

Just ordered an old fashioned paper copy of Facing the Music. I look forward to reading it on my next holiday, whenever that is!

I read Rick Leach's first 'Womble' book on holiday a couple of weeks ago. He drinks far too much coffee!

Just ordered it - looks like an interesting read.

I was bought a Kindle as a Christmas present last year but have no idea how to download things onto it owing to a lack of IT skills. I'll find somebody to do it though as, hopefully, it'll be an interesting read and a donation to charities at the same time.

Might haff to order this for the bus journey down.

It's the author here, just a little surprised the kids got in there first... Thanks to everyone who's bought a copy of the novel so far - I really hope you like it. Not only would it be ideal for someone to read on the coach trip down (great idea, GetOffAMyLawn), but it would also make a good pressie for anyone who didn't get a ticket this year! Read a preview on this link: http:///1i8Dmyg . As you'll see, I'm going to donate half of any profits to the Glasto charities.
