  <description>This weekend I&apos;m at Indietracks, which is a jolly exciting festival of indiepop, steam trains, beer and owls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year, it also featured the launch of a novel written by the singer from one of the bands. Having had a Mishap with his agent, he&apos;s gone down the self-publishing route on Amazon. He&apos;s made the Kindle version of the book free to download for the first few days in the hope lots of people will download it and boost him up the rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I&apos;m a Luddite, I&apos;ve ordered a paper copy and thus haven&apos;t read it yet. So I can&apos;t actually comment on its quality. However, I can guarantee that the author is a jolly nice bloke, who is funny in person. He says the book is (a) short, (b) spell-checked and (c) hopefully amusing. So if you&apos;d like some cost-free sci-fi reading material, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073VL11C9/&quot;&gt;grab it from Amazon before Monday evening&lt;/a&gt;. You can read the author&apos;s blog post about it &lt;a href=&quot;http://mjhibbett.co.uk/blog/index.php&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=venta&amp;ditemid=530580&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
