Congratulations Mia, brilliant news! Can’t wait for it! 👏👏👏

Welcome all you LUFC followers! Not sure why you’re all coming to me as I’m a woke North London Spurs fan, but welcome anyway. Won’t be a snowflake about it if you change your minds…
This Sunday I’ll be at our village Christmas Fayre (Barrington, Somerset) selling my books!

Dear algorithm, I have not been here for a while - in fact, I only just got here - but I am keen to connect with other authors and poets, readers who might buy my books (pretty please), ex-planespotters, Bowie freaks, long-suffering Spurs fans, reluctant petrolheads and Mark Rutterford.
