Then I'll read it AGAIN(!) and then if all is well it goes to be printed. Don't know what happens after that, but somehow books get to bookshops, and a launch party is organised. The final release date is 28th February. Hi Randy

Well, just heard from the publisher and he’s putting through all my changes and hopes to get the final proof copy back to me in the next few days. Then I’ll read it AGAIN(!) and then if all is well it goes to be printed. Don’t know what happens after that, but somehow books get to bookshops, and a launch party is organised. The final release date is 28th February.

Along the way they listen to a scratchy old cassette recording of Jack Kerouac’s Beat classic On the Road, and find their journey consciously and unconsciously mirroring that of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty. They discover, however, that the horizons of 2008 Britain are considerably more limited than those of 1950s America, and their attempts to lead a spontaneous life are dogged at every turn by speed cameras, policemen and CCTV. So basically about trying to be free and live spontaneously in an increasingly ordered, controlled world.
