I had a wonderful night at the Pen To Print awards a few weeks ago.

Met the Mayor of Barking and Dagenham, got a certificate and a pen (I love an engraved pen), and I spoke with lots of lovely people.

Just need to finish the book now for publication next year.

My review of @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @pikegrey1418.bsky.social book Ring of Fire on the beginnings of the #GreatWar is available here. It is highly recommended.

I did a thing! Finalist in the Book Challenge. I will work with a mentor for the next year to get the book ready for publication in mid 2026.
