Interesting to see Endurance around the web

T. J. Blake1 Comment

It’s interesting what you can find on the internet isn’t it?
Well, I thought I would casually stalk myself and Endurance on the WWW and it has got around!

It is so bizarre that so many links and book places had it on their site and on torrent sites… But one that stood out to me most was it being on eBay! It was listed on there for many different prices, one being a whopping $11.38 (pricey if I may say so myself!)

If you haven’t already, check out Endurance on Amazon here – http://www.amazon.com/Endurance-T-J-Blake/dp/1491074566/ also available on other Amazon sites. You can read the first few chapters on Amazon also!!

My future plans

Hi,  I’m doing this post to let you know what my plans are for the future in terms of my writing.

Endurance plans

Regarding Endurance, I am planning to have my current book Endurance re-released with the next part of the story. It will be called Endurance, but a lot longer, including the next part of the story.

It will be told in three or four parts (not decided yet), The current parts 1 and 2 will be in this book. Part 1 will be proof read as will part 2, so they will both be edited for the re-release. It will also include the next part of the book called ‘Endurance:Apocalypse’ (which will be one part or contain 2 parts, again not fully decided).

Next book and the one after
I am currently writing my next book which is a mystery, horror novel. I still do not have a title for it. I have a front cover idea but still no book title. I know the plot and what is going to happen, alls that is needed is the book title and to actually crack on with the writing.

I also have another book idea, but that idea is only in it’s early stages. Alls I can tell you at the moment is it’s a scientific, fantasy kind of book.

So there are my current plans and my ideas. Will all be done over time and hopefully you will like my books. Thanks for reading.

Great, I’ve got Exostosis

Just thought I’d put a post about my manky toe for the first time on here.

My Facebook friends will be fully aware of the ‘toe updates’ I used to do non stop. So to cut the long story short…

After playing football once, I had a really excruciating pain in my toe, I couldn’t walk on it or put any weight on it at all. So I put up with it for a month and decided to get it seen to. During this time after being in and out of the doctors, I did ‘Live toe updates’ for my FB friends to read and imagine. To be honest, it was disgusting. especially when saying that my nail was weeping, puss was drizzling out, the nail had lifted, a nail underneath began to grow, it stank, it squelched when the nail moved etc (it was more graphic than that). While describing the toe, I then went onto saying what I did to trim the manky nail down with a pair of nail scissors. Once again, I don’t think I’ll go into too much detail. I have pictures of it but… I think I’ll save them for another day…

With the doctors not knowing what it was, I tweeted embarrassing body Doc, Doctor Christian. I tweeted a picture of the toe to him and asked what it was. Within a minute of me sending the pic, he replied with a diagnosis of Exostosis (Google it). It’s some sort of Tumour in the toe (not too serious as in cancerous, just damn painful!)

So after being in and out of the local docs and seeing many docs who didn’t know what it was, it took 6 months until finally progress was made.
Went to the Podiatry Department and saw someone who actually knew what they’re doing (except Dr Christian from embarrassing bodies cause he knew). She knew what it was and confirmed that it was the tumour called Exostosis (Google it).

So now I’m waiting for X-rays and then I can have the manky nail and new nail (under the manky one) taken off and the bone underneath the nail and skin chizzled (if that’s the right word) back to normal.

So maybe this story can have a happy ending?
I know for sure that the experience may supply me new material for my books for the future, so I look forward to writing some disgusting descriptions. (Yum)

So there you go. That’s my exciting and disgusting story of the manky toe so far. I hope you enjoyed it. I think I could definitely write a novel about it… TO BE CONTINUED Will there be a happy ending?
