EXCITING, OR WHAT?
While on holiday, I received word from my publisher (Hey! Get me! ‘Publisher’ eh?) that the two books they asked me to ‘ghost write’ have now been sent to the printers.

Each book has an initial print-run of 5,000 copies!

That kinda tickles me, that does. 😀

It’s still a wee while till publication date as the distribution will have to be sorted and the promo work stepped up. However, both books are already available to pre-order on Amazon, the respective ‘blurbs for which are copied below.

Publication date for both books is 12th June 2025.
