Aah book writing, its a long a torturous process. I actually found the writing to be the easy part but now I'm polishing, whittling and editing. As suggested I gave the first 30 pages to my wife for a perusal. Being a journalist and used to truncating paragraphs into pithy statements she had one word to describe my efforts, wordy. So snip, snip, snip, lose a word here , a phrase here. Reword this and change that but I must say such re-working has made it a better read.
