Exciting, scary, and served with a less than healthy portion of crippling self-doubt. Still, cover's done and the words finalised. (I will not re-edit, I will not re-edit, I will not…)
Just the formatting, the ISBNs, and some endless promo work to do. I trust you and Karen are both good?

I'm officially getting close to what is sometime known as 'Squeaky-bum Time'.
My first book 'The Heart That Died' will be (self) published and available to buy on Amazon KDP on the 1st of May.
Less than a month! Aaaaaaaaargh!

Home & Away Hello, dear readers You join me on a sad day. A tragic day. My heart is broken. I don’t know how, or even if, I’ll survive. You see Tina, th...

There are two types of people in this world. Those that have had it hard and so believe everyone else should too, and those that have had it hard and don't want other to experience the same pain and misery. Imo, if we're not leaving a better world for future generations, then what are we doing?

It's notable how many times, after a good performance and result, I've tuned in and we've been on last. I know Shearer doesn't like us but, as you say, I think it goes deeper.

#MOTD show the highlights of the #LUFC game and immediately start talking about West Ham and Palace. No mention of how we played. No mention of Gruev's pass. 'Course then they might need to say nice things, eh?

A #Heartfelt scream of rage and fear
Voiced into the void
I don't know what We're doing here
Or how we can avoid
The unlearned lessons of the past
The future history
Protect those you see as different
Because now it's you and me

I'm slightly worried about Macdonalds Chicken Cheesburger. Have they learned nothing from the Doublemeat Palace? #Buffy #MeatProcess

#Stoop to conquer
Rise to fall
Test your limits
Heed the call

Save tomorrow
Live today
Keep burning bright
Don't fade away.
#Vss365 #Poem

A #Slapdash mishmash
Made in haste
A frantic mad dash
Cut and paste

The words get blurry
Meaning lost
It's time I'm saving
But at what cost?
