Hello everyone

Dene from Ballymena in N Ireland here.

I've visited the forum many times over the years, a delightful place.

So I wondered if any forum members would like to get involved with a fan book about "Columbo"?

A group of Columbo fans met on Twitter some time ago, and we've now hatched a plan to self-publish (through Lulu.com) a celebratory fan publication about the series. We 'launched' it this past weekend.

We are looking for reviews, basically: two per episode to give a nice balance. Maximum 600 words, everyone will be fully credited.

And we are open to suggestions if there is anything else you would like to contribute instead.

Details here: http://eustonfilms.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/the-columbo-fan-book-project.html

Be absolutely delighted if anyone from the forum would like to join in.

Best wishes, thanks very much,
Dene.

I am in. Could not find the website though. Please advise.


Thank you.

Thanks a lot David, much appreciated - glad to have you on board.

I've emailed you so hopefully you can access the link now.

Anyone else..? It'll be fun!

I'd love to hear more about your plan -- retiring in a few weeks and will have time. I currently run the Columbo fanfic page Just One More Paragraph (http://www.planetpreset.com/colfanfic.html).

My only query is, what would we do differently than Mark Dawidziak in his Columbo Phile or some of the other self-published books on Amazon?

Hi Martin

I hope you can find the time to contribute - you're more than welcome.

Different from "The Columbo Phile"? It only goes up to 1978. There's another 24 episodes (and 25 years) to cover.

Plus by including reviews by as disparate a collection of fans as possible, hopefully many different aspects of the series' appeal will be highlighted.

There still aren't that many books on "Columbo" - there's plenty of room for not just ONE more. There should be loads of books about the series. I'd buy 'em.

All the best,
Dene.
