University of Death: news in brief

02 November 2008

I've just published the second edition of University of Death. I took the opportunity to revise a few minor errors and I made a couple of short cuts (about 20 words) to fix descriptions that readers said were confusing. Thank you to those who provided feedback. This version includes magazine reviews on the back cover and squeezes an extra deleted scene into the Extras at the back. If anyone with a copy of the first edition would like to read that extra scene, let me know. It includes spoilers so I'd rather not publish it online.

Three copies of the first edition were offered as a competition prize in a recent issue of Record Collector magazine. The first edition is now officially out of print.

The book has been reviewed in Music Tech magazine this month (read the review here). There was also a story about the online signing tool in this month's Writers' News magazine. There are a few more reviews that are due, but the main PR campaign for the book is drawing to a close now.

If you'd like to order a copy of 'University of Death' for a friend for Christmas (thank you!), Lulu has published its ordering deadlines. Because books are printed as they are ordered, you are advised to allow as much time as possible. The standard shipping deadline in the UK is 28 November, although Lulu recommends Express shipping (which has a delivery guarantee) for which the deadline is 12 December 2008.

For a limited period, the price has been cut to £8.99.

Hi Sean,

Congratulations on all the positive feedback for your book, and for launching a second edition!

Good luck with the Christmas sales too. Hopefully we can catch up before then - we'll have to synchronise some dates!
