	12th May 08	Toad News update: 'Driving slower' plan dismissed as 'too simplistic'
	12th May 08	+++ Fforde News Fflash +++ Fforde promises 'not to bang on and on about his new baby'. To the great relief of all concerned, Fforde has pledged not to bore all and sundry about he and Mari's new baby, as though it was the only baby born in the world so far, and the erronous assumption that everyone is remotely interested. He further went on to promise that he will not be so insufferably twee as to post cute pictures on his own website, or suggest in any way that Tabitha is just that little bit smarter, more advanced and more pretty than all the other babies on the planet combined. (which she is, by the way) +++

	25th Jan. 08	+++ Fforde News Fflash +++ No new Fforde book for 2008. Following discussions with UK and US publishers it has been decided to delay publication of "Shades of Grey" until July 2009. The reasons are twofold: First to allow me more time to finish the book and have a baby. Secondly, to enable us to get back on to a more conventional schedule - that of delivering a year before publication to allow lead time for marketing and publicity. My apologies to everyone for the delay - but releasing me from the "just in time" writing schedule wll have long term benefits for book quality (I hope) and production schedules. +++
