My best advice for aspiring authors. Leave your writing group. Unsubscribe from all those forums and online chats. Get sent to prison and do some real hard time.

Always excited to find new readers for my very British prison novel in the United States (doing quite well over there), although I must admit to being a little anxious about the authentic language used. Does it translate?

Probably a case of being careful what you wish for - but looking at the Amazon sales rankings for The Salt Path - I'd love the negative press that the author Raynor Winn is currently getting.

Slow sales day (in fact been a slow couple of days). Is it the heat, or is reporting lagging due to Amazon Prime Day and the sheer volume of sales on the platform. Either way - every purchase and borrow is appreciated. Thank you.

The ideal Father's Day gift for a dad that's been to prison? Or maybe worked as a journalist for a local newspaper? Perhaps both.

Sunday. Worst day of the week at HMP North Shore. Banged up for 22+ hours in a tiny cell with a potentially violent pad mate and a stinking toilet. No wonder the guys looked forward to getting back to work on Monday.

First book royalty statement in. It will pay for Friday night's pizza - if I settle for a Margherita. Oh well, Hard Times chez Taylor. But does this mean that I can finally say I'm a real author?
