Geoff:

I have been following your posts on my book with great interest. But you have outdone yourself with the twit-rapper. It is so very well done. I am going to create a link for it on my site (www.rogerlmartion.com) as I have all your other posts on the book.
You have done a wonderful job of summarizing the book - it is a bit scary. Should I have just done a couple of dozen tweets and not written a book?

In any event, I am very pleased to read your lovely work. And I am coming to Oz next month - Sydney and the Barrossa Valley. If you are around, I would like to shake your hand.

All the best,

Roger

Thanks Roger.
Great to hear an author who is open to my take on their work. I always wonder how it will be received.
We still need people like you who can flesh out an idea for the rest of us. We all need ideas and the book format still works.
And, there is room for presenting your ideas in multiple formats - like tweets and summaries.
It would be great to shake hands when you hit Oz next month.
Cheers
Geoff
