You may remember that I posted about my brothers book being published a little while ago.
Tomorrow he gets to see Philip Schofield on 'This Morning' to talk about it. The sky box will be set as I wont be home tomorrow.
I used to have a massive crush of PS when I was a teenager, but that was when he had dark hair and was a childrens TV presenter. Yikes that was 20 years ago now...

Fantastic. This Morning is an excellent programme to boost the profile of the book. Shame I shall be stuck in the office whilst its on.

Brig, - it was probably through the army PR machine, and will be linked to supporting our troops whilst they are away.
DB - its a childrens book called My Daddy's Going Away which is aimed to help kids whose father goes away for long periods of time with their work.
Their angle will be that he started to write it whilst serving in Iraq for his kids, and that he has a degree in phsycology and his wife was was a nurse at Great Ormonde Street before they married.

I was seriously impressed Fi. Your brother just sounded so genuine - he's obviously a very educated man and boy do I love his accent. Its great that he had Prince Charles endorse the book  . I wish him every success with the book!! |

Your brother comes across as such a nice, kind clever man. I really hope his book takes off for him and all those who will be reading it to their children.

Watched the clip. Your brother came across very well. I bet he never dreamt his book would get so much attention. What a great idea.
Dannyboy, what accent?
