THAT BEAR ATE MY PANTS!
Cloudie, HO!
Yes, I've been away for a bit. But now I'm back! I'm harder to
get rid of than a fart in a spacesuit and twice as pungent -
largely because I've not found enough time to wash recently...
So I thought I'd stick up the blurb for 'THAT BEAR ATE MY PANTS!'
here and see what you guys thought about it. Too much? Not
enough? Too... ahem, colourful, as my mother would say?
Historically I'm really bad at putting my work 'out there' for
others to see - but it's a bit past that point now, what with the
imminent release of the eBook on 1st July! AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!
BOOK BLURB FOR 'THAT
BEAR ATE MY PANTS!':
There comes a time in every man’s life when he says to
himself, “Holy Sh*t! I’m about to be eaten by a bear!”
Tony James Slater went to Ecuador, determined to become a man.
It never occurred to him that ‘or die trying’ might be an
option...
The trouble with volunteering in a South American animal refuge
is that everything wants a piece of you. And the trouble with
being Tony, is that most of them got one.
Just how do you ‘look after’ something that’s trying it’s
damnedest to kill you and eat you?
And how do you find love when you a) don’t speak the language,
and b) are constantly covered in excrement and entrails?
If only he’d had some relevant experience. Other than owning a
pet rabbit when he was nine. And if only he’d bought some travel
insurance...
That Bear Ate My Pants is the hilarious tale of one man’s quest
to better himself. Whether losing a machete fight with a tree,
picking dead tarantulas out of a tank of live ones or sewing the
head back on to a partially decapitated crocodile, Tony’s
misadventures are ridiculous, unbelievable and always
entertaining.
Long before Sky One got involved, there were already plenty of
Idiots Abroad. This is the story of one of them...

But then maybe he won't shut up about it if you don't. I would suggest buying it as insurance, just in case. Two copies.
Oh, and did I say he's a genuinely funny writer and a uniquely marvellous human being. Don't tell him I said so. He won't shut up about it.
I can? Deal done.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your support. Anyone who does fancy buying it on the 1st (no pressure!) will be participating in the single most important event of my life - well, for about three weeks. Then I'm getting married. But hell, everyone does that, so I'm trying not to think too hard about it. I'll come on here on L-Day to scrounge up support, so if you feel a sudden urge to tell your nearest and dearest about the book - well, who am I to stop ya?!
Thanks so much guys and gals.

Go Tony! Our Word Cloud best seller (perhaps)!
Anyway. We'll see about the best-seller thingumy. I've read somewhere that to knock Michael Macintyre off his no.2 spot I'll need to sell in the order of three thousand. So I've fallen back on plan 'b', which is identical to plan 'a' except slightly more modest in its expectations! How does 'In the Top 100' sound? :0)
Nah, we'll do it folks. And I tell you what, imagine if we did - we could do the same for anyone, all club together to buy their books on the same day and we can take it in turns to be best-sellers! Tuesday tomorrow? Oh, that's Gerry's day at the top, I believe...
Got to try eh? What have we got to lose? Apart from £2.99 each?
And I PROMISE this book is worth £2.99 of anyone's money.
Does this look like a face that could lie...?

You are a very funny fellow. The humour is right up my street and animal welfare is a big draw. Well done, you. And best of good fortune for sales.
Now go take a bath before the wedding! :-D
Thanks again guys. Fingers crossed for Friday!
