Motor-red Wine: was the witty title of the feature in The Daily Star, about the Motorhead brand wine now on the market.
The likes of us have known about it for perhaps a year now, but after AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' plonk making headlines, it's great that the band also get their's mentioned in a National newspaper.
It was the only feature on Page 19 of the 30th September edition, with the classic photo of Lemmy pointing at the camera, and two photos of the wine bottle.
The Australian brewed 'Shiraz' wine is said to have 'a fruity aroma, with flavours of vanilla, plums, blackberry, and liquorice.

'Within Spitting Distance': Is a new title for a story written in 2006. Then, it had the working title of 'Poised To See Paradise,' which Horatio Caine coined as the title for one of the CSI Miami episodes. For the TV episode, it as about a bloke who was murdered just as he was about to see a stripper take her clothes off. For my story, it captured the essence of the main character, who was about to retire, and would see his paradise in doing as he wished, and not having to go to work.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Within-Spitting-Distance-ebook/dp/B005O1NS90/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1317120807&sr=1-1
But if 'Poised To See Paradise' is Googled it takes you straight to the CSI episode, so it was changed to 'Within Spitting Distance.'
And it sounds grittier, and suits the story much better, and I am happier with the new title rather than the old, because in essence, I was stealing someone elses words, and I don't like doing that.
The story, like all of my others, is also available from Amazon.com in $, and Amazon.de in Euros.

Some Repair Work To Lem's Basses:
http://www.tcellisguitars.com/Lemmy_Bass_Repairs.html
Thanks to Henri Clausel for the Link.
Re-Publishing as Kindle: Much as I still feel torn regarding downloads, especially after the lengthy debate we went through in the Motorheadbangers fanzine regarding download music, it made sense to take up Amazon’s free offer of uploading my out-of-print book titles. A book takes hundreds of hours to write, and when the publisher went out of business in 2005, the books were just sitting there on the shelf looking at me, doing nothing, and still bustling to be read.
So Amazon’s offer of publishing to Kindle, and with the growing popularity of Kindle download books, was too good to be missed. After all, I had the files for the text electronically stored, and the cover art, so why not give them a new lease of life.
So they are there if you would like them, (the can also be downloaded to many other devices, usually beginning with an ‘i’), and if you do, I hope that you enjoy them, and if you fancy writing a ‘non-spoiler’ review on Amazon afterwards; thank you.
Now with another publisher, (who has published ‘When The Clouds Have Passed’ and ‘Thunder In A Bottle’), and happy with the way that he works, whilst sorting out the uploads for Kindle, I found the file for the final, and unpublished book which I wrote for the previous publisher. Now titled ‘Within Spitting Distance,’ it is another crime thriller, based here in Poole in Dorset. This has been made available as a Kindle download, but not as a paperback. This isn’t due to anything sinister, it’s just that there is a fee to get the paperbacks into production, and with our old car recently going to the great scrap-yard in the sky, we had to buy another one, so we're a bit skint.

The others are there, including the Motorheadbangers Diary Of The Fans...

I Should Blog More: But things have been busy, and I have a medical problem which I am keen to get sorted out. When the ability to walk gets difficult, you wonder what's going on? So it's a slightly worrying situation, but one which, along with my doctor, we are trying to solve.
Bear with me.
