Another Big Day for Me!
Some of you might remember that back in May I posted a similar thread upon completing my Master's thesis and earning my M.A... well, this is even more exciting for me: my thesis (or a punched-up version of it, at least) has been accepted by Cambridge Scholars Press. I was offered a decent contract this morning.
The book, Our Orwell, Right or Left, which takes a look at how Orwell's writing has been misused by politicians and political writers at both ends of the spectrum over the years, (hopefully) will be out by late 2008...

Excellent! Congratulations!
Anyone who had their 'blood and tears' published knows how much work lies behind such a success. Few things as rewarding as being published. Well done!

Thus ending the common assumption that all Sox fans are uneducated miscreants.

THank you for the kind words, everyone. I will post here when the book is available for preorder on amazon.com. Knowing how slow the publishing world is, this might not be for awhile... but I will keep you all posted.
