Hi there j... I'm trying my luck here, and having a bit of cheek... but I've this cool idea for a book, part three in a trilogy, part one being Eish! London, part 2 Haikona! London and part three yet to be named. Anyway, as it's autobiographical, I was wondering if you would mind if I included some of your stuff in it? If not, that's cool, but thought I'd ask, in case you'd be cool with it :-) Please let me know. Hope you are well. On with the Cherries :-) $
