It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.

If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.

No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

I've finally decided to read this. I've put it off for so long because of its size. At a whopping 875 pages long with teeny writing I think it will take me (a slow reader) nearly a year to complete. I'm going to invest all my emotions into it. So...here goes...I'm going in...

I've just found Japan's Master of Restoration on BBC 4 and it genuinely blew my mind. I'm going to stream them all because honestly, the skill and delicacy is super human 🤯

Could anybody recommend a book for my 76 year old mum please? She's had cataract surgery so I'm going to get it in audible. She loved The List of Suspicious Things. She doesn't want anything too violent. Maybe a family saga? I just can't think of one so I thought I'd ask the experts 📚🧡
