A tribute to the great Tom Lehrer. Since he was good enough to leave all his songs in the public domain (& they're being sadly misattributed on Google as a result, ho #hum...), you can look it up and #hum along to this shameless adaptation of his ditty about the shameless Wernher von Braun. #vss365

Including yesterday's advance review for THE SAFEHAVEN COMPLEX 😊, the CHASING MERCURY series has been favourably compared to Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, Jack Higgins, Len Deighton, John le Carré...
Influences, yes. Can I claim any as my #progenitor?
Modesty forbids.

A touch of airsickness, she had said. Bradley made sure she was still covered by her blanket and fished for his cigarettes.
When his lips drew one from the pack, a hand appeared in the corner of his #vision. A flick, and a blurry flame followed.
The man in Seat 7.

Where I am staying
I need no musty store
To stir my every sense
With #vellichor.
And when I leave, today! -
If not my head
I know my heart will balk
At leaving so, so much unread.

Sure, there were extended periods when the hall was a tad footfall-#free, others when the passing punters seemed alarmed to find books at a book festival, but to those wonderful readers who stopped for signed copies – Jess, Kieron, Sarah et al – know how much I value you! #vss365
