   Anikó: The Stranger Who Loved Me is one of the recipients of Carolyn Howard-Johnson's Noble Prize for Literature for 2006. I feel honored, particularly since this book, the story of my mother's life, is very dear to me. This is its third award.

   Woodworking for Idiots Like Me is a finalist in the current EPPIE Awards. I will know soon if it has won its category.

   The LiFE Award has its 21st and 22nd recipients.They are Hurtling to Oblivion and The Genesis Enigma.

   My newsletter, Bobbing Around is in its 6th year of publication. Check out the first two issues.

   Cancer: A personal challenge is my 13th book. It is available in paperback from Booksurge -- I have chosen to self-publish this book because, sadly, the market for it is infinitely large. When you buy a copy, request a signed book plate.
   Or you can buy an autographed paperback or, for far less cost, an electronic copy, directly from me. As with all purchases of my books, buy a copy in any format and you have earned a second title, free.

   The FOURTH edition of the Earth Garden Building Book: Design and build your own house is doing well. It is now in most Australian libraries. Borrow it and read it before deciding to buy. And when you have your own copy, I can send you a unique, personalised book plate to stick into it. Or you can buy an autographed copy directly from me.

   The blank space below holds an invisible link. There are a total of ten of these scattered throughout Bobswriting.com. Identify five, and you have earned a free book.
   Books are listed on this page.
