BREAKING NEWS..FIRST PAID SALE!

News just in - one of the Disresponsible Nodpots has just had an article accepted for publication.

Yes, it's true - the shock waves are still rippling around the globe. Valpot's article on patron saints has just been accepted for publication by a prestigious Irish journal.

"It's like a dream," Valpot gushed. "I'm so thrilled!"

'I never doubted her for a second,' Marvin, chairtoy of the Disresponsible Nodpots said.

'I am so pleased, she has worked so hard and deserves every penny' Parsley, treasurer of the same society, was quoted as saying. No doubt this sale will also benefit the flagging coffers of the society.

Meanwhile DNOTY '06 had this to say.:
'Thanks to my presentation at the DN conference, Valerie has gone on to follow my four step programme, 'Writing is easy', to success' said Mungo.

'I'm too excited, I can't speak' Iseult, fellow DN member and former DNOTY winner said.

Reactions from the other Nodpots :

'Oh dash it' Sparkie said. Sparkie of course is currently top contender for the DNOTY '07 award.

'About time' Blueberry said. And as the DNs have been in existence ten years, I guess he's right.

"Maybe we should wait until next year before we go for the ultimate title," October said. "Too much competition this year!"

"What percentage will the DNs get from this sale?" November wanted to know.

Let's hope this is the first of many publishing successes for the DNs!

NEW DN PUBLICATIONS

Following on from last weekend's great disappointment (the non-appearance of Rainbow and The Mountain of Life), the Disresponsible Nodpot Press nonetheless produced three new titles.

The Five Muses Anthology - a collection of short stories from the pens of M. Murphy, M. Murphy, M.Murphy, P. Murphy, V. Troy, Wiggins, Rags and Leopard & Jacob.

Lottie, The Half-Vampire - first of a new "For Your Eyes Only" Imprint, designed to get those first drafts into print! Written by Valinora Troy, this is the first of a new series about a girl struggling against her inheritance (ie her father's a vampire!).

Revenge of Queen Rose (Not actual cover) - the sequel to The Lucky Diamond by Valinora Troy.

Also launched by the Disresponsible Nodpots last weekend was the ultimate version of The Lucky Diamond - illustrated by the wonderful I.M.M. Murphy.

We would like to invite our readers to submit reviews of these new titles - all reviews will be published on this blog.

TRAGIC NEWS

The world is still reeling from the devastating disappointment last weekend - Rainbow & The Mountain of Life - Mungo's eagerly anticipated story of the continuing adventures of Leaf and his friends - was not published last weekend.

"Mungo has enough on his plate at the moment," an insider told us. "He is too wonderful to worry about trivial issues like dates and deadlines. He has spoiled his fans enough already with all his wonderful works. They're getting too greedy."

It's true - we are all dying to read Mungo's latest book. Let's hope we'll have good news on the launch date soon.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to the winners of Mungo's "I want to be like Mungo" competition.

The bookies had tipped Mango and Tottie as favourites, closely flanked by Rosie. The other entrants were not too much further behind, and October and November brought up the rear at 100/1 shots.

In a surprise move (surprise for the bookies anyway), Mungo announced that all entrants were winners in a competition with exceptionally high standard.

So well done, all of you!

For those who don't know, the winners were:

Mango & Tottie

Rosie

Duckles

Pamela Murphy

Dr Madeline Murphy

October & November
