Kindle has chosen Sick of It to be part of their 99p deal for October!
Given the first book I published back in 2010 was about £80 this is a much better deal. And cheaper than a whippy.

“The behavior was pure misogynistic abuse, and it’s a growing movement in American culture right now.” www.glamour.com/story/the-mi...

It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence.
