G'Day Gents, I'm excited to say that as of today I've finished the third draft of my book, thus completing my manuscript barring a few tweaks here and there. Which means that I will begin work on publishing, marketing and distributing my book within next two weeks or so. With that said, as I will be striving to self publish my book or if that fails publish my book with an independent small scale publisher. My book won’t be published until early next year at the very earliest, so there will be quite a wait before it will be out in the open for the masses to read. It also gives me great pleasure to officially announce the title and blurb for my debut novel, in fact barring my beta readers and editor you will be the first people outside of Australia to know the title and blurb. So, without further ado, the title and blurb of my debut novel is… Bespoke Love. “Set in 1956, Thomas Bishop a skilled tailor and devout Roman Catholic upon seeing a conspicuous newspaper advert visits and hires the fiery yet beautiful courtesan Marie Barbaroux to accompany him on six non-sexual outings, where they both teach each other the value of companionship, forming a unique friendship that becomes threatened when profound romantic feelings and loyalties to faith, profession and relative solitude come between them.” Additionally I’m excited to announce that starting this week, I will begin work on writing my second book, with the first draft of said book set to be completed before Christmas.

Had this photo taken today and I have to say that I’m quite proud of it. My former coworker is a photographer on the side and we did this one today. The background is just a screen that I’m standing in front of. I think he did a great job.

At a finance conference in Miami and thought I needed to be just a little more stylish than all the bankers running around in their dark navy and gray suits. Plus it’s super hot and humid so I decided to go without socks. - Bonobos unstructured light weight navy Italian wool jacket - Bonobos jet setter stretch dress shirt - The Perfect Jean NYC white stretch jeans - Doc Martens Oxblood shoes - Matching oxblood belt I randomly found on Amazon - Ferragamo pocket square - SOTD: Hellenist’s Les Dieux Aux Bains - WOTD: Ming 17.03 Burgundy GMT

What do we think? Am I missing anything? Anything superfluous already included? (I have shirts in pastel and deep shades of the solid colours; the idea is to have a modular set to just mix and match. ) Definitely considering replacing the skinny yellow for a regular yellow. Works relatively well with a navy shirt; but honestly I’m not sure how often I’d wear it. What’s about paisleys? I like the look of them but I’m not convinced they work all that well for what I need.
