“WHAT’s IN A NAME?” asked the Bard, for, “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” says Shakespeare or, I should say, Juliet in Romeo and Juliet.
WELL, 7 SEPTEMBER 2025 IS FINALLY UPON US, and many of you would be aware of the final 7 days of the writing journey of my latest book, Discrimination in Employment Law in 7 Days. All 7s! It was conceived in the United Kingdom and born in Kos.
THE BOOK COVER 📘 was CREATED and DESIGNED by ART (appropriately named) over a year ago. I fell in love with the design instantly. It encapsulated fully the concept of the book before a single word had been written by me. I imagine that to be not too dissimilar to that of a songwriter who speaks to their producer who then interprets what has been conveyed and applies an arrangement in line with what they believe is the songwriter’s wishes. I mentioned what I was about to write and the cover was produced, created and designed accordingly. It is subtle, simple and clever. Look carefully!
FIRSTLY, there is only one ‘in’ not two. That is deliberate. SECONDLY, the single ‘in’ is placed strategically in the 7 to convey the ‘in 7’ part of Discrimination in Employment Law in 7 Days. THIRDLY, Employment Law crosses through and is ‘in’ the 7, as in ‘Employment Law in 7’ days. HOWEVER, notably, unlike with the word ‘in’, not all of ‘Employment Law’ is in ‘7’ because one would need many more days and much more space to cover it all (literally and on the cover itself!). But, there is enough to give one a good grounding.
ALTHOUGH THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE FROM TODAY, it does not stop there. I have a special interest in education. Personally, I have benefitted from it with three degrees and two grads of my own. I have been a trustee and governor of many schools, so I am working on an education law element to ADD to the book, which will be published soon. So watch this space!
