Blood, Sweat and Tea

Here’s something I’d been meaning to blog for a while now: Tom Reynolds, a Blogware user whom I met through blogging, has got a book coming out titled Blood, Sweat and Tea. It’s based on his blog, Random Acts of Reality, which chronicles his experiences as an ambluance driver in the London Ambulance Service.

Tom’s a sweet guy — it comes through in his writing, and even more so when you meet him in person (he flew from London to Accordion City to attend my birthday/engagement party in November 2004). Do youself a favour and go check out his blog and buy his book!

  • Cheers fella!

    We are looking for an American publishers at the moment so that it will be easier to get the book out on your continent.

  • From the description, it reminds me of Population 485, which is about a volunteer ambulance/fireman outfit in small-town Wisconsin, a book that really blew me away.
