Thanks to everyone who left an Amazon or Goodreads review for 'Touchpaper' 👍

Amazon have a grip on book retail, so each review has a disproportionate effect on visibility to potential readers.

If you haven't got around to it yet, please take a moment to leave a review or a rating. Thank you! 😊

11 years ago my engineer student step-son was left in charge of Bracken, my JRT puppy. This is the manual I wrote for him. 🤣

‘Wyrm-galdr’ just passed 50,000 words!

The 2nd book in the Parallel Realm series follows Drew, Archer and others as they face down a community turned toxic.

I love this!

Love this, except the scratchy nib bit! A perfect nib flows smoothly.
