Theres This Really Cool Book. I've Even Heard It Can Help You Become A Ninja.

You know I was thinking. There's this book. Its called 'A Dream Of Stars'. Its really well-written, has a number of intriguing short stories, captures your attention, stirs your imagination, and every third word in it has something to do with ninjas. Plus its written by this really cool person called Brian Caswell. I really think you should buy it. Get up from your computer, beg your parents to take you to a bookstore and buy it. Then go tell everyone you know about it. You know you want to. Come on. Just go.

My Advertising Company

I would like to use this blog to thank my fantastic advertising company, Pum-Boopy Boopy-Pum Pum Boopy ... KLAUS Productions. They have been extremely supportive and have been brilliant in all there advertising endeavours.

Not only have they helped me (okay showed me) how to make this website, but they have produced: a television advertisement, a radio advertisement, a poster and a showbag to help advertise my new book. They even organised a radio interview for me with the best radio station around, TheSceneFM.

So if you listen to TheSceneFM you'll probably hear my radio advertisement or maybe if you are lucky, my radio interview. I will be answering questions about my new book and there is also opportunities for people to call in and ask me questions themselves.

And did you know that with every 'A Dream Of Stars' sold* there will be a free showbag given out? My advertising company told me not to reveal the secret contents of the bag but I can assure you there will be CHOCOLATE. And don't worry we have also catered for those who are allergic for providing showbags with a TOMATO aswell. Now this won't be an ordinary tomato. This will be a NINJA TOMATO. I can tell you're jealous already :)

So don't forget to go out and buy your very own copy of 'A Dream Of Stars'** with your FREE showbag, and BE A NINJA!

*showbags will only be given till they run out
**only sold at Angus & Robertson and Borders bookstores

About the Book

This post is about my new book 'A Dream Of Stars. Infact this whole website is about that book. So here's a little bit about the book....

From the surprising tale of a chocolate addict to the futuristic dreaming of the title piece, these stories [in a dream of stars] are as varied and thought-provoking as the stars.

Are a pair of the world's best boots worth a human life? Can a romance survive between a fifteen-year-old boy and a very attractive "Tralfamadorean"? Humourous, suspenseful and above all entertaining, this collection of thirteen short stories by me, Brian Caswell, poses questions to challenge and delight the imagination.

"Thouroughly entertaining, highly amusing, sometimes chilling, often leaping into the unexpected." Brian Caswell (me)

So there you have it! It sounds like a fantastic book. You should probably go and buy it. Right now.

Oh and I would like to thank Gregory Rogers for the amazing cover illustration.

Thats all for now so remember; buy this book and BE A NINJA!
