Massive thanks to Kev Harrison for his kind words and glowing recommendation for Last Night of Freedom!

The year here runs from Oct '24 - Sep '25, hence a couple are late '24 releases.
But take a look, tell me what you think and, above all, read these books if you haven't yet! shepherd.com/bboy/2025/f/...

Unsolicited writing advice: no. 8075: There is no such thing as serious writing. There are only writers who take their work seriously, and those who don’t. Tragedy is no more “serious” than comedy. Children’s writing is no less “serious” than writing for adults. Good writing is wherever you find it.
