Today seems to have been a day for supporting local artists. I bought a copy of So Close, Tertia Albertyn’s book this afternoon and was going through my feeds a little while ago when I came across her latest post about Verity, a local singer who is employing the interesting technique of pre-sales to raise the money to record her first album. I had been meaning to become one of the future owners for a while now and saw Tertia’s post as a sign that now was the time. So I have bought a copy and have become future owner #994. I’m looking forward to being a part of the album creation process by helping to choose the songs that Verity will record.

My wife is reading it at the moment, her staple literary diet is biographies and autobiographies. I will be adding it to the list of books I’ve bought but have yet to read. I’ll probably read yours next when I finish one of the books I’m currently reading.
