Helloo,
I reckon I'm going to give up on pinned posts trying to flog my books.
Here's a song I wrote instead.

Time for a new introduction. I’m a science fiction author from Bristol in the UK. I’ve written over 20 published books, had my work translated into numerous languages, and won an award or two. I mainly post about books, writing, and my part-time job in a bookshop.

Pareidolia is a brain phenomenon in which a person sees or hears something significant in a random image or pattern. Such as an image of a man in the moon.
The word is derived from the Greek words para, meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of, and the noun eidōlon, meaning image, form or shape.
