All About The Author

Steve’s new book of Poetry and stories called “Read Me” is now available for US$29.95. Just click on the book.
Stephen “Yolly” Yolland is a well-known Australian/British businessman, marketing expert, advertising guru, writer, social and political thinker, speechmaker, media presenter, author and now: published poet.
You can find out more about what he does when he’s not blogging here at www.mo.partners and www.themopblog.com.
Or you can buy his new book, which has proved very popular with fans of poetry worldwide. A share of all profits goes to The Bali Children’s Foundation and The Alzheimer’s Association.
Steve’s eclectic collection of radical t-shirts are on sale here: www.cafepress.com/yolly. He doesn’t expect everyone to agree with them, but if you do, please buy a shirt. He calls it “changing the world one shirt at a time”.
Most of all, he’d be delighted if you subscribed to this blog 🙂
Steve is married with one adult child and lives in Melbourne, Australia. He is also ridiculously wedded to the travails and very, very occasional successes of Southampton FC.
Yolly, you forgot to say you love southampton FC and have supported the game here from Carlton Soccer Club through to Melbourne Victory. I love your new blog and look forward to daily stimulating reads.
Make sure you get a story or two on our beautiful game too matey!
Cheers,
Lou Sticca

I liked your post on women’s issues but hated the fact you spammed my FB pages with it. Bad idea imho. #justsaying

You are always welcome to reblog anything I send over. I’ll always provide a source, and you always credit the source, and it’s public stuff. If I ever have anything private to say in a post I’ll start it with “Please don’t approve this post” LOL.

Dear Steve, Is This plagiarism? I report again that I have included an item you wrote concerning Langland Bay and it is featured on my website A HISTORY OF MUMBLES. I reported, or tried, to contact you, some time ago, asking you for permission to publish this item from your blog, but did not receive a reply. This week the site has a new article entitled -‘The Langland Bay Hotel Restaurant’ and your words describe it delighfully and are included. Look us up and send us more of ‘What you think,’ about Mumbles & Langland. ‘fair dinkum’
