There’s a book sale happening and lots of people are talking about it. Unfortunately my little book didn’t make the cut but since I’d already scheduled the sale I decided to let it run anyway.
So now’s your chance to grab a copy of Dragons of Dunmoray for only 99p/99c

My latest Flash of Strangeness is now live - I give you Rosemary Lane - a flash piece that I hope you enjoy
Rosemary Lane is a real place - an ancient Holloway near the village where I grew up - not dissimilar to the one in the photo which near where I live now

Is it? Now that is disappointing. Just looked and I can’t see any links to their review site which I would expect if they were real. So I think you’re right 🙁
Thank you. And thank you for the repost 😁
Ah yes, let’s hope those zeros are short lived!!!
