The End of the Chase Saturday 30th August sees the publication of THE SAFEHAVEN COMPLEX, which completes the CHASING MERCURY trilogy. It’s been quite a journey, for me as well as Mila and Bradley. Not least because...

Those boxes outside the bookshops and charity shops in the 70s & 80s had a #mystical draw on me – and they issued a mystical challenge. #vss365
I have a new blog post that gives my books an 'origin story': www.bypaulphillips.com/blog/the-end...

Yeah, must be the Fucking Mandela effect…

Like Sir Bob, he went on a charm offensive...

We, the mischief makers
Do (somewhat) solemnly swear
To keep the tyrants on their toes
A constant pebble in the shoe
A wedgie that can’t be plucked free
To laugh, dance, and sing
Despite the storm clouds thundering above
#vss365 #mischief

Turn that frown upside down
Turn that #scowl with a trowel
Turn that pout inside-out
Turn that duckface…
Shut up fuckface!
#vss365

Mischief hatches... mischief catches...
It all comes home to roost later this month with the release of the series finale!

A tribute to the great Tom Lehrer. Since he was good enough to leave all his songs in the public domain (& they're being sadly misattributed on Google as a result, ho #hum...), you can look it up and #hum along to this shameless adaptation of his ditty about the shameless Wernher von Braun. #vss365

OK folks. #Tear it up – you know the tune! #vss365

Going for mass market appeal
was clearly my #hamartia...
Shouldn't I have gone for broke
and made it arty-fartier?

Yes there is #space

for these...

Including yesterday's advance review for THE SAFEHAVEN COMPLEX 😊, the CHASING MERCURY series has been favourably compared to Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, Jack Higgins, Len Deighton, John le Carré...
Influences, yes. Can I claim any as my #progenitor?
Modesty forbids.
#vss365

me too! 👍

There once was a fat orange criminal,
His intellect, at best, subliminal.
Still, a crude limerick
About the old prick
Should tick off today’s prompt word: #liminal
#vss365

🙏🙏🙏😃

If they can't paralyze with fear
They'll galvanize with hate
Either way, we're puppets
In the hands of the warped
Dancing on the ends of their strings
Unless we go still long enough
To hear the small voice
The profound voice
That teaches the truth
Listen
#vss365 #small

🙏🙏🙏

Could I ask a small favour?
If you’ve read my book(s),
please go to the Amazon product page
and simply leave a rating
(or even a short review – one word even!)
And if you haven’t read them yet…
what’s stopping you, anyway?
You see, to me,
it isn’t a #small favour at all.

Just a quick shower first...
