Paul Chappell (Footsie/FTSE100)

All the comments and updates seem to have disappeared. Shame. Luckily I saved them so here they are: Update: Paul Chappell (FTSE100/Footsie) Hello all, just thought I'd let you know that, following Paul's suicide on 10th July 2013 and with permission from Paul's brother, we are collating his work with a view to publishing in paperback, probably through UKA Press (the publishing arm of UKAuthors). The tentative title is 'The Sighs of a Mouse and Other Stories and we aim to raise awareness of mental health issues everywhere, but particularly in the UK. If any of you have any suggestions as to how this can be better achieved, we'd love to hear from you. I know you'll all wish us well with this project and I'll keep you regularly updated.

Since his death, I have often wondered whether Abctales might publish his stories, mostly as a mark of respect for his behind-the-scenes work but more importantly because Paul was an Abctales man through and through. While his relationship with Tony may have ended acrimoniously, I'd be surprised if the idea hadn't crossed his mind too, but perhaps he is allowing for a respectful time after Paul's passing away. andrea | July 21, 2013 - 16:20 Thanks, Ewan and Blighters. Ewan, I will certainly take you up on your kind offer if I need to! Blighters, Paul also had quite a lot of word on UKA, although admittedly, not as much as he had on ABC. However, I'm very sorry to say this, but Paul did not want ABC to publish his work and his brother (who now owns copyright to his work) is more than happy for UKA Press to do so, if we decide to. I was very close to Paul and am trying to follow his wishes as much as I am able to. He specifically asked me not to publish Sighs on ABC - just a notice with a link through so that people who cared for him here, were able to read his last words. I apologise, but am just following Paul's wishes, as with the emails he asked me to send to various people after his death. http://www.ukauthors.com blighters rock | July 21, 2013 - 17:11 I stand corrected, Andrea, and I respect Paul's wishes wholeheartedly. Good luck with the project. Please feel free to call upon me for any help you may need with its publishing. andrea | July 21, 2013 - 17:39 Thank you very much, Blighters, that's very kind of you. http://www.ukauthors.com

No idea why it came out like that!

Thanks for sorting that out :) Just a quick update: Award-winning photographer Eleanor Leonne Bennett (http://www.eleanorleonnebennett.com) has kindly offered to provide the cover image for Paul's book. (Is it no longer possible to post live links?)

Thanks Claire, that's very kind. 

We have the (front) cover up already. You can see it here.

Thanks, Sue, appreciate it, and so would Paul. Not entirely sure he'd have liked a catfight though.

I bet he is rasing hell, however...:)

Just to let you know we now have an 'About the Author -->  http://www.ukapress.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=174 , an 'About the Book' -->  http://www.ukapress.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=173%22 and a 'Read an Excerpt'  http://www.ukapress.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=175 on the UKA Press site --> http://www.ukapress.com/

Apologies, have only just seen this. We're hoping to release the book mid to late October, LC. Will keep you informed, of course.
