GORDON THORBURN AND PAUL DAVIES - SOME MISSING PERSONS
Hi everyone,
This is to update our situation here at Fractal Publishing. We have almost sold out of Paul Davies and Gordon Thorburn's book, Some Missing Persons... just 36 copies left, so do contact us quickly if you want one.
We aren't looking for book-length manuscripts at the moment, as we are going to concentrate on producing a sort of magazine. :) (More details later :)) If you write short stories of the ghost or mystery variety we would be very interested in having a look at them.
We also love humour, and if you could write something funny, which would tie in with this theme of mystery and ghosts we would be delighted to consider them.
Finally, I just want to say that Marianne has now left us and Emma has taken over. She will be the one updating the blog from now on but I thought I'd just drop in and introduce her. I'll ask her to post a profile so you can get to know her.
Now I'm off to work on proposals for a film script. Have a look at my blog if you're interested. :)

NEW BOOK
We are pleased to say that our new book by Gordon Thorburn and Paul Davies is out.
It's a wonderful, humorous book. Do have a look!
Gordon Thorburn is particularly well known for his book about sheds and their occupants: 'Men and Sheds' was a best seller, loved by many. His other work includes 'Bombers, first and last', 'Pubs and their histories', 'The Classic Allotment,' 'Remembering the High Street' and 'Cassius the Police Dog'.
Paul Davies
Paul Davies has also been a famous cartoonist, as he puts it, since 'well before digital anything'. He draws with a pen on paper, but the results can be seen online, at www.pauldaviesdraws. ‘Some Missing Persons’ is not his first collaboration with Gordon Thorburn and he hopes it will not be the last, and so does he. They first worked together in advertising, many years ago, but (again in Paul's words) have belatedly achieved a semblance of respectability. :)

What news from Fractal?
Hi everyone,
We have decided to do a blog to keep everyone updated with what is going on at Fractal. We have just brought out a new book, from Margo Smith - Food, Family and Faraway Places - which has recipes from many different countries (I'm still trying them out! :) )and we are expecting the complete manuscript of Some Missing Persons by Gordon Thorburn and Paul Davies in the very near future. (We apologise for the delays on this.)
Our guides for international workers, in English and Polish are now out of print, but the three wartime poetry books by Effie M. Roberts are still selling well, with sales increasing every year. Pippa, who is a professional writer herself does many talks and readings, and poetry workshops in schools. Margo is a lively speaker too, and she talks about her life experience and her life's collection of recipes.
We hope to do many more books. A book of African recipes is a real possibility, although we can say no more at this stage. We are also looking for collections of poetry where the poet has made use of traditional form (rhyme etc quite acceptable, and even liked!) At some stage we may do novels but that is far in the future.
Look out for Margo's blog (where she will post new recipes once a month) at:
