My book The Fall Between has been updated! A #transgender #romance
I got some early feedback that it needed a stronger editor. So I hired a professional editor and cover designer.
It‘s free on KU and I’d appreciate any and all reviews!

Hey, all you beautiful #booksky people.
I'm after some feedback on this little promo vid ad, before I put some money behind it.
Any suggestions for improvements?
I'm having one final push at promoting this book, before I write my novel, which includes characters from this collection.

Man, motorcycle, and mountain. Magic!
Took a splendid tour round Sicily on a rented Honda CB500X. Rode up Mt Etna in dryish condtions, rode down it in torrential rain with the road like a river, with water upto the footpegs. The Honda took it all in its stride 1/

And Trump is employing the mother of all midwife's in America.

If you’re looking for books that play with your perception of reality while leaving you in stitches, then these two books by Rob Gotobed are an absolute must-read. The collections of short stories are as funny as they are intellectually engaging, with humour that’s both surreal and cerebral.
