A week before Christmas I went for a wee bit of brain surgery and also managed a spectacular fall resulting in a broken arm, stitches etc. Today is the first day I've felt actual RECOVERY.
So, onwards and upwards!!

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.
It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.

These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total).
If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow.
P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"
