I would have chosen a different title. It's unfortunate that, as a long term Scientologist, Mr. Headly might be a bit out of touch with the non-Ron meaning of words and phrases in the real world.

If you're going to include the word "Blown" there should be a way to put it that counteracts the popular meaning of the word. Perhaps "Blown Away" or "Blown Over" or something that steers the prospective reader away from thoughts of... Well... You know.

Still greatly anticipating its Australian release... I mean... When it's published here.

There's always Amazon, Bane. I myself don't buy things over the net generally. Supporting local commerce and all that. One exception's stuff from Australia, strangely. Aussie's seem to make amazing liquorice for some reason.

BFG's book should be amazing. It's already had some good write-ups in the media. It seems that the press are paying more attention to what people like Marc have to say and less to the mindless press releases and standing denials of the cult of scientology.
The COfS has lost it's power to intimidate.

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Leo

If you ask someone to give you a hand today, don't be surprised if they make a mess of it. That's probably because their mind isn't on the job, but it might also be because your instructions aren't as clear as usual. So before you get angry, check that what you said made sense. Relations with someone older or more influential than you could also be blighted by confusion or doubt now.
