34 years ago I wrote my first book. At the very last minute the whole thing fell through. I was devastated and I gave up the whole idea of writing for a decade. I’ve had fifteen books published now. So, keep at it. Anyway, found the artwork for Book One. Bit mouldy but still pretty cool #books

When the first #Slipknot album came out I remember playing it to my eldest and him saying ‘that’s just noise Dad…’ Last night he took me to see them perform it live as a pre birthday surprise. Look after them when they’re little and when they’re all grown up, they’ll look after you.
