I don’t get many of these tbh, but it’s great when a reader sends you a photo of your book that they are reading whilst on holiday. Tnx Mel

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Anything by Morrissey might have been more appropriate

On ‘setting word targets’… always wondered about other authors.
If you have a daily target of 2000 words and you get there by 11am, do you down tools for the day, or press on?
Equally do you have to keep going until you reach your target, even if you’re at it 7/8/9 hours?
