Prolific American novelist here. For some reason that I genuinely cannot remember, I name most of my male characters after obscure Worcestershire County cricketers. Now that they have a women's team I have started naming female characters after them as well. Too late to stop now.

Sadly we are fast approaching the end of the 2025 cricket season, with just 59 matches left of the 950 that my site is covering this summer.

As such, my thoughts are turning to the improvements/corrections/enhancements I will make over the winter in readiness for 2026.
