Armed with a prefects’ tie and a raging libido, Spud soon discovers that being a large(ish) fish in a small pond has its fair share of challenges. He finds himself embroiled in fighting for his own room, directing a house play where both lead actors refuse to learn their lines, and assisting in Vern Blackadder’s dramatic return from the dead with nothing more than a drip cord and a pair of oven gloves. </p> <p><a href="http://spudbooks.co.za/blog/24-may-2012" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Thu, 24 May 2012 09:39:23 +0000 zukiswa 27 at http://spudbooks.co.za 17 May 2012 http://spudbooks.co.za/blog/17-may-2012 <p><strong>DEAR PURVEYORS OF FINE POTATOES</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dear Purveyors of Fine Potatoes</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /><img src="/sites/spudbooks.co.za/files/_Y1K6459.jpg" width="213" height="150" style="float: right;" />It’s been a while since my last update and I am so dreadfully sorry for leaving you in the lurch. My feeble excuse of writing the fourth (and final) Spud novel was quite rightly laughed out of town. So to temper the hostility I shall soften your resistance with two slices of breaking Spud news:</p> <p><a href="http://spudbooks.co.za/blog/17-may-2012" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Thu, 17 May 2012 07:16:37 +0000 zukiswa 25 at http://spudbooks.co.za
