I had planned to enter my first new book of this year in #SPFBO this year but it seems the competition has opened today six months ahead of when I thought it was due to. 😁
Oh well...

I'll a little off the pace with this, but so sad to hear about the death of Chris Rea. God's Great Banana Skin was one of my first albums, full of meaty guitars and soulful blues. Magical..

A really lovely Christmas night out with the awesome and lovely team I used it manage. A sort of farewell that was needed for us all. One chapter closes the next really begins...

Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters.
The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies—known as the kindly ones—against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.

Hello good people of BlueSky,
I've been very quiet recently.
New job looming, so normal tidying up and boxing off before I leave is taking up my attention and time.
And I've also downloaded my biggest writing nemesis - Football Manager. This would wreck my writing progress.
However...
