Oh, Alan, my heart goes out to you. I can empathise from personal experience of similar struggles in previous times. Sending love and prayers. ❤️🙏

@thebrokenspine.co.uk - great news of a BOTN nomination for my essay on the Scousenlish poems 🤗

That's great, Rhona. Glad it crossed the so-called border with such ease!!! Hope you enjoy exploring it. And if you can afford the time, do let me know what you think. What works and resonates with you, what doesn't so much. I respect your judgement, so it's all helpful for my progress as a writer.

Hey, thank you, Karen. I'm so chuffed with the book and the amazing job Alan has done in pulling it together so brilliantly. Having entered the chapbook comp over a year ago, it is very exciting to so it come to fruition. 😎👍
