We are delighted to say the 'At Midnight in a Flaming Town' is ready for pre-orders (if you order from our website you can have your copies signed and support the War Memorial Trust)  and will be available at the end of March.

The interest and support from friends and family has been fabulous throughout this creatively challenging journey, of which publication is but a milestone, and we now want to interest and entertain a wider readership and would invite and welcome your interest and help with this endeavour.

I, Lorraine (Bateman of the batemanandcole) recently received an email which made a request for its swift onward dissemination to spread a message worldwide. They made the maths look simple. Applying this to our desire to 'spread the word' about this new piece of literature… it looks like this: if thirty people out of those we contact each emailed/blogged/twittered just 10 friends/colleagues with a suggestion that they visit our website: www.lorrainebateman.com there is the potential of 300 introductions. If each of those 300 felt inclined to bring along another 10, then that would mean 3,000 people had the potential to find out about the book, and by the sixth generation we'd be at 3m, and another 10 at 30m. Now if all this happens, surely some are going to be tempted to buy and read the book……. which is the next time that it's worth telling people about it, with your own endorsement. We would be very grateful if you did take some time to splash this news around and we would love to hear from you once you have read your copy, and hope you will then be pleased to know we are underway with the sequel – 'Blue Days and Fair.'
