Have you a subject for a book at the back of your mind.
Come on 'fess up . Time is running out.
I have a substantial collection of notes somewhere that someone told me would possibly make a good, successful read with the right help.
It's all to do with my life as an NDT Technician from '73 to '84, in the UK and overseas.
As with many older men, I tend to remember those days and often refer to particular things in my past but on many occasions I'm not believed!
I get a bit miffed at that 'cos if there's one thing I am it's
honest, almost to the point of stupidity at times, but
still people do not believe that anyone could have had the kind of bad luck and disasters that I've had!
That's the reason I wrote it all down - well - a fair bit of it - so I can keep it all fresh in my mind!
A friend on another forum who lived in Japan was an ex-publisher and it was he who suggested I self-edit it first and try hawking extracts of it about.
He even gave me 2 contacts but I never did go ahead.
Maybe I will in the future but my original thoughts of a title will have to be reviewed; in the NDT business back then, (
Non-Destructive Testing), Industrial Radiographers such as I was at first were know as Bombers! stevmk2
