"As a nation, we began by declaring 'all men are equal.' We now practically read it as 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." a very prescient Abraham Lincoln, 1855
Cheaper than chips (and thanks for getting the new one)
How to tell winter is over: on Saturday I shaved off my beard. The downside? It's back to scaring small children and animals as I pass.
It's not often a book can make your Kindle seem shinier, leave you sighing with contentment as you finish it, and give you the wildest ride of your life.
No Precious Truth may be that book. At 99p (99c) or free on KU, isn't it worth taking the chance? You won't regret it.

Enjoy it and good luck on the road. Not that it looks as if you need it!
On your way home?
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
Need something to read this weekend? Only 99p (99c) or free with Kindle Unlimited. Read the first in the Cathy Marsden series, then catching up with The Faces Of The Dead...

Thank you
The scuttlebutt is true. No Precious Truth is 99p on Kindle (free if you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber) - and 99c in the US. Perfect timing as the sequel, The Faces Of The Dead, is published. Grab one, then the other,complete the set.

For the afternoon (or morning) crowd. The best bargain you're going to find in a month of Sundays, and it's on both sides of the Atlantic.
Read all about it. After that, why not go and buy? You won't even notice 99p (99c).

If only I hadn't bought it as soon as it came out, this would be an excellent deal!
Thank you-for buying and the endorsement
There's a very special deal on No Precious Truth, just 99p (99c in the US) for the Kindle version, just as the sequel comes out.

Now out in the wild. Go get it...
A first for the year - going for a walk with no jacket and no fleece.
Yesterday was the big day, The Faces Of The Dead out in the wild...and the thrill never palls.
