Looking for a great stocking filler?

You can't go wrong with my book - The Secret World of Stargazing. A great read for stargazers and non stargazers alike.

A book for any budding stargazer, or someone who just looks up in wonder.

Get it here amzn.to/44VqUQO

Think of this - that the writer wrote alone, and the reader read alone, and they were alone with each other.

But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own

I'd forgotten about getting paid for library books, probably because I never brought them back as a child. I mean of course I did, eventually, but it was very embarressing.
