Had my best PLR statement yet this week, and it's all thanks to you folks borrowing my books and supporting libraries 👊

Did you know authors get just over 11p every time you borrow one of their books? Please keep doing that 🙏

If you're planning on getting the book then please consider pre-ordering wherever you like to shop 👏

This one was a blast to make. Could it even be the best Croaky yet? MAYBE.
