Great song, features in my book, Death Before Revenge, set in Paisley, but this tune belted out at the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Good luck with that, my friend.

Your president is fecking mental...says every sane person in the world.

Managed to get this one finished before December was out. Another insightful and at times disturbing read by the fantastic Martin Dillion. There were no winners, just victims.
It's well worth picking up.

The FIFA Peace Prize, what a pile of shite
The Parody Prize more like it.

A clown supported by and followed by halfwits who should be called out at every opportunity.

Great, hopefully they'll allow the vote, though I doubt it.

Recent reads in the last few weeks. All are very absorbing and worth picking up. Any recommendations for this month, please pass on. The shelf is bare 😀

I'm on £10.15 for this month. Greatly appreciated, but ... well, ye know.

Just started this novel by David Greig, which has me intrigued and hooked already. Another great Scottish based read to get immersed in.

Post by publisher Tantallon Tìr: “Ricky Monahan Brown author of Terminal is one of our writers in the 274 Miles anthology with The Working Breakfast. His outstanding memoir, ‘Stroke: A 5% chance of survival’ was one of The Scotsman’s Scottish Nonfiction Books of 2019.

Very pleased to be included in this collection of short pieces featuring what Tantallon Tìr is describing as ‘the very best writers from, or living in, Scotland’ 😲

I'm heading away for a while, so I couldn't commit but would donate a few copies of my first book. If that would be of interest, Neil.

I'd happily donate a couple of my offerings to that endeavour. Feedback may be painful but...hey-ho 😀

Good to connect 👍
