Yes, yes I know!

I haven't written anything for a while but I've been very pre-occupied with the book and getting it out there - it's been a long slog and I want to get them onto the shelves obviously, otherwise what was the point?

Now, SP Services are distributing it and they have recognised the problem that some people identified in their minimum sales price (you had to buy at least £10 worth of goods), so they've reduced it to £9.99 to accomodate the book cost. Awfully nice I think.

When you get your paws on it, please be kind enough to review it (you'll have to go to Amazon or Waterstones online to do that). In fact, review the first book (A Paramedic's Diary; Life & Death on The Streets) too if you haven't already done so because this is my best guide to how well, or badly I'm doing.

If Street Medic is successful, I will be writing another edition for next year (on top of everything else).

Enjoy the book and for those of you looking at a career as a paramedic - good luck!

If you want the book shipped to Belgium it'll cost you more than 25 UK-pounds shipping charges; a bit expensive me thinks!

Really?! Who did you try to buy it from?

I am trying to get my distributor to keep the cost of this down, so please let me know if you have problems getting it abroad.

Hey Stuart,

The book was delivered yesterday and it was finished yesterday. Funny and informative.

It's filled a void for people like me looking to join the service who needed this little bit of extra information but had nowhere to get it from.

I look forward to reading what else you have in the pipeline.

:)

I pre-ordered mine ages ago but still no sign of it :(

Maybe I'll borrow a friend's copy, she finished hers the day she got it!

And Im pleased to say, its fantastic and more than informative, and , if anybody hasnt got it yet, they really should, I'm hoping to study paramedic sciences next year and the info within informed me of stuff I didn't have a clue about.

Your survival guide arrived in the post from Amazon today, rather handily as I finished reading your diary yesterday.

Both well worth the beer tokens.
I'm now even more determined to become a para in three years time when I leave the army after 22 years.

Uni at the age of 40? I must be mad!

Keep up the good work Stuart. On the streets and the keyboard.
