This is a short blog this week.

However, I thought it was only fair to let people know what I’m going … Continue reading →

I today have finally got off my bottom and put in an author bio with Amazon. It’s not something I’ve intentionally put off. It’s really just inefficiency. Today, needing to work flat out, clearly in the interests of work displacement, I had to do something. And yet … I’ve never bothered to read any other … Continue reading →
