How we came to publish this one
Eamon has been a contributor to CaféLit for quite a while. His stories are well-told, a little quirky and often a lot of fun so when he approached us with this collection we didn’t hesitate to offer him a contract.
.
The title
It’s actually a quote from a line near the end of the collection. Most of the vignettes are about Eamon as a child.
Some notes about the process
Eamon had already had this edited but we still put it though two of our editorial processes and found a few things to alter. And we even found a typo post publication. However, we weren’t too thrown by this: the average number of typos / other mistakes in published books is fifteen. Will we spot the other fourteen? We hope not.
The cover
Obviously this is a photo of Eamon. It took a while to find the right one that worked technically and artistically. This one works well in both ways.
Some notes about style
There is some dry humour in these stories. And in places you will want to laugh out loud.
Who we think the reader is
Eamon already has a following from his stories and reflections on Irish radio. There are quite a few fans from CaféLit as well
What else
The book is selling well. Eamon has been quite proactive in promoting it and several bookshops in Ireland have ordered directly from us. Currently this is our best seller. Eamon has had a few copies made in hardback as a souvenir for the family, We are exploring offering this to other authors.
