Just submitted some basic proposals for my next book, 2 and 3 are due to come out next year of course. Maybe 4 and 5 will be out a year or so after that. Move over Barbara Cartland.

I've been on 295 trains so far this year, i went on 291 for all of 2024, so that is kind of cool though probably meaningless
