Update:

Apparently my books AND the expired coupons that made them free have "migrated" to the company that bought Smashwords. I have no idea how to access the new account.

I have unpublished my books on evil Amazon (or at least I tried to)

I resent having so little control over my own property.
All my novels are available to download for FREE. You'll find a link in the following post. Perfect reading if you're a fan of well-crafted whodunnits!

But don't just take my word for it. See what my wonderful readers have to say...

I love the way it endlessly escalates around one of the simplest but catchiest guitar riffs ever. Genuinely euphoric by the end.

Her keywords this week are “up” and/or “down". (It has been that sort of week.)

She starts you off with this track.

With weather this bad, I can't think of any way I'd rather spend my Saturday!

A very sensible option for the K-ster to avoid all that horrible stormy weather in the southlands, and head to a dreich but calm Scotland

I like the contrast with Creswell Crags which has had human occupancy for over 50,000 years with the very modern jet vapour trail above.

I finished my latest scrapbook project based around the Japanese kawai(cute) aesthetic. I've incorporated some souvenirs I brought back from Japan around 20 years ago - seemed a good way to use them.

I've started watching 'The Good Doctor' on Netflix. I do like the central character. Unlike some medical dramas, apart from the very opening of S1, there is surprisingly little time devoted to shenanigans in the on-call room or supplies cupboard 😂.

Good evening Michael. Many people may have seen this already, but no harm in mentioning that one of the greatest comedy series of recent years, Derry Girls, can now be seen on Netflix.

A bit late here today Michael. There’s a few cast members in this from the previous series and we’ve got one episode to go and we’ve really enjoyed it.
Would recommend.

The American Ambassador is quite wonderfully irritating.

I watched "Predator: Badlands" last night - very slick action sci-fi. Not trying to be horror or too serious, just _fun_!

It's on Prime Video, Sky Store and Apple TV in the UK.
