flyerme Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 My copy arrived this afternoon and has already been read! A good read it was too. Thanks Tim. Pud Will miss you my friend....:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerme Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 All....happy you are enjoying the book. It was my pleasure to help Tim edit the book after another had done a quick proof read. There were a lot of spelling / grammer mistakes corrected the long hard way with Tim and I comparing notes for around three weeks.The mistakes/ spelling errors that were left in we thought added to the rough, quick nature of a rough and quickly written diary by a country gentleman. The book may not have happened if we hadn't moved it along as we did in an attempt to get it for Avalon..( which didn't happen). Both Tim and I spent many valuable hours on getting it to you, which neither of us had to spare. I am personally overjoyed to have helped Tim and to now see the book in print. During the layout process by the printer they wanted more bucks to re- edit the book after also noting some mistakes. Tim and I agreed 'stuff em' it adds to the character of the hole ( whole !) story........:).....sorry. Hope you all agree !... Thanks again mate. RIP Maj...

I don't particularily want to quit it but if it would get you in the air I'd probably swap you for a signed copy of your book, a pair of tickets to the launch of the movie and two boxes of popcorn. cheers Riley 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieB1rd Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I did a seaman's diary which included a shipwreck in 1850, in two versions. Sue you must be the oldest member on the forum, so I fully understand the greying on the snout. lol pmsl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieB1rd Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks to the intense low hanging over Queensland and NSW this weekend I got to read this riviting and exciting tale from days yonder, Jack Flyer should be flying off the shelves faster than Biggles can count combs. What an awesome yarn, thanks Tim, maybe the ebook version could be called "The Diary of Jack Eflyer", being of probably similar age, I quite relate to this story but in cars and motorbikes instead of planes, although it was a area I always wanted to enter, growing up in those times and more so if from the country it was a totally different era, a time when rules were something you only found in the Army or Police Force, and grammar slept with granpop and a visual is not warrented. It's painful having to wait all those years for the statuette of limitations runs out and you can fess up to the occasional choof, and other things mentioned that could have landed other not so brave lads behind bars, lol those poor people of Swanhill who missed their chance to bag a couple of felons, maybe the reason for all the tall fences around airports these days. Anyway, great read, kept me glued and begging for more, thank god it was an older thread and I didnt have to go thru all the finger drumming foot stomping waiting for the next chapter release, thanks to all for all the other occasional short inputs and keeping the thread on track, some of these threads make it really worth while joining a forum like this, thanks one and all for all the info contained in the forums many threads, I will never catch up but may cotton on, lol And Tim if any copies left that may have been personally signed by the author, put me down for one.
