Nice to meet you and thanks for asking. Short answer is no, no plans to do another parenting book. I figured as the kids are older now they may not appreciate being the subject of my witticisms. Plus I like to change things up and am in final stages of a book about David Bowie...what about you. What are your plans?(less)

How To Think Like David Bowie by Jonathan Tindale
"short, good

It could do with even more quotes from Bowie’s quite voluminous commentary on his own creativity but then it wouldn’t be as quick a read. In some ways its brevity is an advantage, making it less academic. Worth a go though the distillation" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Jonathan Tindale  (?)

“One of my favourite anecdotes is the first electric street lighting in one Nelson suburb that was powered by a small hydroelectric generator, in the hills above the city. To switch the lights on and off, a chicken run was added to the power plant. At dusk every night the chooks would go inside their coop and roost on a special hinged perch. The perch sank under their weight, and connected a switch which turned on the street lights. At first light the hens would leave the coop, the spring-loaded perch swung back and the lights went out again.”
