Those paws….

The source of that pleasure leaps out of a million different books. As I’ve said before I have many, many readers whose parents tell me are passionate about nonfiction having failed to click with any number of novels, short stories &tc

Having to select a disc and then put it on...I'm sure I pay better attention to the music as a result.

I still buy CDs but have sold my LPs.

It’s an excellent, appalling book.

Service with a Smile (Wodehouse)

Was discharged from hospital hours before the launch of my latest, TRACKS THROUGH TIME. Sore but steadily improving.

I left it too late for my two, sadly - now in their mid-20s - but you go for it.

1980-83. Hard to believe we were paid to learn.

Jake Wallis Simon’s NEVER AGAIN

Also her default position was to be nice to people she met which is quite unusual.

100% but first you’ll need a clear idea of the book before any reputable agent will sign you. I’d like to see a book written to interest 9-14s in studying engineering.

Unreadable nonsense. Very mid-2020s. Bang on trend.

The interior is exceptional.

Only in Scotiand, which is a week ahead with this.
