I set my display up at the library today. I have big board covered with laminated A3 sheets, a few pics from the book and a few cardboard book jackets. I'll be taking a pic for the photopage once it is completely finished early next week. I already had a few people today take a look whilst I was doing it. No doubt they thought I was just some librarian wannabe. I wish :-)

I would like to be a libraian.... also Dan but you need a degree. Welldone you should be pleased with your work.... Hayley ....

Daniel, Please could you update us newbies re your good self as I feel we are just getting the end of the story so to speak. If that is too personal a query then pray tell which library you are currently exhibiting in? Jenxx

Sorry :-) I have a local history book out, hopefully from Monday. Printers were a bit late. The synopsis is as follows: 'Criminal Wirral' is an intriguing and entertaining collection of some of the strangest, most despicable and comical crimes that took place on the Wirral peninsula from the Victorian era up until the early twentieth century. Daniel K. Longman's painstaking research has uncovered many fascinating cases that have been long forgotten, and he sheds new light on local causes celebres. The tales are supported by a number of maps with many contemporary and modern photographs, which help to bring these events and the people featured in them back to life. 'Criminal Wirral' will appeal to anyone who has an interest in the darker side of Wirral's history. I have a mini exhibition on at Birkenhead central library just to help tell locals about it's existance.

Hey Dan, Will I be getting an autographed copy delivered in person? Deb

I told you. Pay for my flight and yes.

Dan- The flight is booked and paid for (even have me ticket) I'm coming there - much safer for the Canadian public than to have you roaming our street! So get the biro out will you......... Deb

Thanks and well done you! I may just make an extra special visit to the other side (over the water not that 'other side!) ...just to see it, it sounds very interesting. Jenx

Daniel have you got a website or anything set up about it??

Yes BUT, it's not 100% yet. www*daneilklongman*com Some of the stories need fixing and the scroll bars sorting too.

* rushes off to find site*

Hi Daniel. I think you should have two threads on the go at all times:- 1. The bad news!! 2. The good news!! well maybe three:- 3. All other things. or The Good! The Bad! And the Ugly!! As Clint Eastwood would say. Betty

Dan I am very, very impressed young man. That is a really good, well thought out site. Easy to use and incredibly interesting. I have looked through it and read one of the stories, will go back on a bit later and read the rest. It is on my favourites list now. Well done and I want to know when the book is out as I love books on crime and will be purchasing a copy!! :o)

lol :0) xx

Good Idea Betty :-) Cheers Mags. I didn't want to mention it before it was all final and done, but as I was asked. I hope how it is is alright. Bec. Never one to say much eh ;-)

*wails, I can't find it *

I didn't have any problems with it at all Dan, everything seemed to work fine. The story I read was really interesting, will read the rest later.

Dan - Can never get a word in with you! xx

I'm quiet! Remember London. All I do is melt

Dan are you going to be organising a Liverpool mini meet for my homecoming??? :) deb
