Most people dream about one day writing a book and getting it published for the world to see.

At the moment, as I sit here typing this collection of pixels, I am a failure. Everything I set my heart on has seemed to turn to ash. Everything except for a little daily podcast. Over the past few months, it has grown and through it, I have been able to grow with it. My challenge when I started it was the lack of self-confidence, a lack of being able to express myself. Today, words cannot explain how much better I feel from meeting this challenge head on, and though the wonderful “Family of Dirty Boxers”, has brought some clear meaning to my life.

Now, I want to grow more. I long for it, crave it. I have met my first challenge; instead of sitting on the side lines trying to convince myself with 101 reasons why I shouldnt do the show because I will fail and it would be a big pile of donkey-turd I got out there and produced it (even though it is a big pile of donkey-turd). But it is my donkey-turd Our donkey-turd.

Today, I would like to start on my biggest challenge yet: To write a book.

The book I have in mind will be in the same style and feel that my thousands of listeners have all come to expect from me and the Dirty Boxers show: a Tongue-in-Cheek, thought-provoking, but pointless, yet somehow entertaining look at the world. It is planned to be a manual to life and the world around us, covering many different aspects: money, work, religion, health, education etc. It will look at what is currently happening, what is wrong with those issues, and how I think the system should be changed.

However, there are two issues I need to overcome:

1. I am dyslexic and so the challenge for me for this project is (like the podcast) having to find and build the confidence to create something like this. I already have the ideas and notes, but I just need to jump and do it! 2. Unfortunately this type of book would be very difficult to try and get a real publisher to commission and so this is why I need your help.

I am offering 1000 of 2000 shares available for you to purchase and support the book. The money raised will be used to cover the printing and distribution costs for the first edition of the book.

Now I am not talking about buying in to a book idea for a first edition and thats it These shares are an investment and will be active for the lifetime of the titles publication; including (but not limited to): Hard-back copies, Paper-back copies, eBook versions, Audio-book versions, Braille versions, Translated versions, heck even Film rights (gotta dream!).

With a project like this, there needs to be a few rules:
1. Investors can only own a maximum of 500 shares in the project.
2. There are ONLY 1000 shares available, once they are gone, sorry they are gone!
3. It is the Investors responsibility to keep our records up-to-date to where we need to send your cheques every six months (from the date of first publication onwards).

Thank you for your support,
Leigh
