Reviews of Death of a Clown often mention that the reader felt as though it was written for them personally.
So many of us 'misfits' out there, which is why so many of us empathize with Chester's plight on a deep level.🖤

A steal for this great book!
Calling UK readers!
Amazon is playing tricks, and the paperback edition The House at the End of Lacelean Street is down to £3.01.
Very strange, and no idea how long it'll last, so why not check out the reviews?

I'm travelling to see my old dad, but before I go I'd like to wish @beverleylee.bsky.social a happy pub day for this beauty.
I've already had the pleasure of reading it, and I loved it!

Loved this one, and who could resist that cover?👇
And now for something completely different. Perfect for Christmas, an alt history laced with humour and a number of dead bodies. This is Napoleonic Britain 1913.

Please help your fellow creatives with this one simple gesture.👇
More than liking other artists work, it's so important to repost it. Growing an audience is exceptionally hard -- the only reason I've seen any growth at all is through the endorsement of other artists.
Please, support your favorites by showing them off!
