Out4Good!

OK, time to fess up. A long time ago I started designing a Tarot deck. Last year a publisher bravely volunteered to bring it out from the cyberwilderness and actually publish it. There, the story so far. Now, the news. Yesterday I got an email from Schiffer announcing that the 10 complimentary "author's copies" of my deck are on their way to South Hackney, via Byakhee Express. No, sorry, it's FedEx. My mistake. So, here's the "poster" announcing the happy event. The Deck is now flesh & blood. Or ink & cardboard, really. Welcome to the family wee bundle. And to round up a day of wonders, behold! young Olufemi's got himself a girlfriend. Olay! Her name is Adebola; Bolita for short. She just wandered into one of our tactical briefing sessions, out of the deep dark forest, sashayed her way into our midst, batted her eyelids at poor Femi...and the rest is mythology, as they say. And here they be, the happy pair. Olufemi's showing Bola the newly-minted book and he's bragging a bit, saying: "I'm in it, don't you know..." And she's saying "Blimey! That's nice." And "So, who's the blindfolded bint with the dog, the cat and the rat and the snakes on her bonce, then?" And so on. We're all are really happy for Femi, who, we all think, works way too hard and has but few distractions. Bola will see to it that he doesn't overdo it from now on. She's awfully glamorous and very good-natured, but you can sense the iron claw beneath the velvet paw. (Atta girl!) PS. I've just noticed a misspelled word on the poster. Will mend. Also, for those not familiar with my menagerie/family: Olufemi Mubarak, the leopard, runs my secret services and funky ops department.
