This is not a begging letter .. but rather, it is a plea from the heart, my heart actually and just in case anyone out there might be in the slightest bit interested, I thought I would try to take advantage of what might be left of your collective and individual curiosities and inform you all that my 10th book, yes the tenth and quite possibly my last 'Echoes Don’t Tell Lies' was published on New Years Day and will be available to purchase regardless of wherever you might be living or indeed hiding, anywhere in this funny old, sick old, sad old world of ours ..
I guess some of you will still be living in or around where I almost grew up although I know many have now moved on and of course, for different reasons .. Yeah I’m talking about you guys and girls up north, in London, Switzerland, Africa, the US, Oz and NZ to point a finger at just a few ..
Anyway, on this occasion, all monies raised will go toward Brain Tumour Research because it is so universally underfunded, so very important and means so bloomin much to me, my family and all those I love and hold dear ..
‘Echoes Don’t Tell Lies’ contains almost 200 individual poems, prose and other philosophical ponderings, all written by yours truly .. So please don't be shy, but please do feel free to buy as many copies as you would like, maybe for a friend, a lover or indeed some other loved one since it is all for such a good cause and remember those immortal words of Tesco .. every little helps .. So come on folks, do something positive, something that will give ya tummy a really warm and lasting glow ..
Oh’ and if you like what you see, please consider leaving an honest review with Amazon because they really do have an impact on sales and all for less pennies than the price of three pints of warm English beer so cheers in advance ..
Peace, Love & All Good Things, Neville 🤍

what might be left of your collective and individual....
Cool.
are you able to expand upon your question here? or would you feel more comfortable sending me a personal & more private message .. thank you in advance & kindly for showing interest .. Neville
I thought it was Tesco who say 'every little helps'? I dunno what Asda says.
KP dunno either, as she only goes to botox shops. lol.
Amendment needed?
Do you know wot Stevie, I think you may well be write .. so I'm gonna go edit but in the meantime, I thank you for the aforementioned observation .. Neville
KP too has written a book, Bet you know the title - 1,001 joys of botox.
Congratulations and you have chosen a great cause for your charity. ❤️
Many thanks Teddy .. My little niece Amelie who has just turned five years old has not long had her second brain tumour removed & sadly, she is waiting to hear whether they have found a further one but likely to be inoperable .. Neville 🤍
I'm so truly sorry darling. ❤️
A poetry book for a good cause, ticks all the boxes, Neville. Will get this ordered at weekend.
Crikey Tom, I really can't thank you enough my friend .. so very much appreciated .. and no kidding mate, you just made my day and most likely the mum of my little niece Amelie's day too .. You are a ⭐ .. Neville
That's so good to hear, Neville. An absolute pleasure, mate. 🙂
am gonna thank you again, because like a mountain, you are there .. Cheers Tom 🙂
Mate, I got home from work and told my wife. She ordered it before I'd even finished speaking.
You are a ⭐& your missus is a 💎Tom .. Bless you both .. Neville
Honestly, mate, it's a pleasure. 🙂
Neville, you have such a good heart and your chosen charity has my full support. Your book is ordered and on its way as I type. Congratulations on your tenth collection. 💜
Flippin heck Cassie, I really am gobsmacked .. Many of my most sincere and heartfelt thanks my lovely .. Neville 💜
hello dear Neville. So happy to hear your book is out.....when I buy it shortly I'll have the complete set!
Oh' wow Christina, that is absolutely amazing .. I owe ya BIG time .. Your English friend, Neville
I didn't even know you wrote a book N. I'll take 2 books in support of your cause to come across the pond to Massachusetts. And prayers for your young Niece. 🫂
Hey AP yes ten of them and all still available from Amazon .. I simply cannot express well enough what your ever so generous offer means to me and mine and so many others who are sufferers or carers of sufferers which in turn, makes them sufferers .. I shall let Amelie's mum know of your kindness, as indeed I do all those who show an interest and offer to help .. Neville
I upped my order to 3 books from Amazon, I should see them delivered by this Sunday. So, I'll be turning the pages soon. Thank you N. And I'm so delighted that I can help you raise funds for your charity. 👍
You are a bloomin star mate, bless you .. all my books have been either for breast cancer, mental health and or brain tumour research so if you let me know which one's you get, I will make absolutely sure the dosh gets to where its meant to go .. Yours most gratefully, ME 🙂
I bought the one you put in your entry here. As I said, I didn't know you had written any books. Maybe post a list of them?
My comments on the poem "Echoes don’t tell lies” by Neville.
Echoes are like the mirror. They reflect exactly and truly. The mirror reflects what it sees. The echo reflects what it hears. Both the mirror and the echo do not and cannot tell lies. With the echo there is reverberation : the sound gets repeated a few times, but with a diminishing volume. If you swear at something, you will hear it flung back !... You hear your words coming back to you… That sure is strange… The reflection is in the mirror but that thing needs light for you to see what is being reflected. But, the echo does not need anything : it always bounces back… Soman Ragavan. 11 January, 2024.

Bless you for such an in depth analysis my friend .. Neville
Really proud to know you , there is no faking it in your persona and that along w the words Im pleasured to absorb paints you on a Kerouac, Kesey, Bono, Attenborough persona to be held in regard but regard to touch and fun with and single malt with.
it is indeed an honour to receive such an unwarranted accolade Bobby and as sure as hell, I aint gonna delete or turn it down, but be sure, it's a pleasure to know you too and that single malt sounds like a plan .. Neville ..
p.s.
just be sure to tell all your mates about Echoes Don't Tell Lies & remember, there are 4 T's in Pettitt 😎🎶🎶👍
