I had stuff to work out. I only knew football players as bullies and “You’re a nerd, you don’t even like football, where’s your school spirit?” from adults.
I’m glad this is something people get excited about, warts and all, and I’m sorry if me ever going “sportsball? Ugh” ever bruised your joy.

A lot of managing living through this moment is giving proper space and acknowledgment to distress and dissatisfaction and urgency as a reasonable response.

'Cause I couldn't focus on the job's demands
Cause I was thinking about the electric guitar that's in my hands
And I don't never wanna work for you or anyone again
I don't never wanna work for you or anyone again”

I intended When the Earth Was Green to be a sweet book, and not just for the nectar.

Imagine watching a Chasmosaurus graze and pulp low-growing plants, peaceful. Until they catch your unfamiliar sent. Frill up, horns towards. Run.

If you have been wanting to pick up my novels there are a couple of weeks left to get them at their current price! My publisher is being forced to increase costs thanks to The Circumstances
To beat the price change, paperbacks are still £9.99 until Feb 1st.
That’s plenty of time to see how many books you can physically fit into a Proud Reader tote.
All formats are available direct - and eBooks will stay at £3.49 on our site (£3.99 elsewhere). 📚 (www.inspired-quill.com/books)
