I didn’t say that! I’d have to read it first. My publishing rules have always been:
Do I like it?
Could I effectively represent it?
Do I like the author?
They’ve always stood me in good stead!

It’s an interesting topic and on trend. Let me know how you get on

If you know someone off to university, this book will be a lifesaver for them - I know because I’ve been giving this advice for seven years!

I’ve had a two hour walk with the dogs in the woods, it was wonderful to breathe out

Superb read - but not for the faint-hearted!

Enjoyed working with @authorbnugent.bsky.social as editor & now on the pre-publicity for @tarynleejohnston.bsky.social of Chronos Publishing.

The cover for my debut novel ‘The Sentient Ones’.

Out in shops and online on 6 Nov - a near-future thriller of AI rule and human resistance.

Hi everyone, first day on the app. Tell me what I need to know! Oh and who should I be following..? This is a pic of my dog Leo feeling offended in his doughnut of shame!
