Bit of a thousand yard stare going on today at conference... I wonder why...

A karaoke screen in a gay bar above bottles of alcohol that says 'Part Of Your World' and 'Sacha'.

I’ve had an email from a hotel saying ‘we are eagerly awaiting you’ which seems a bit OVER-keen if anything. Rubbing their hands in reception, cackling. ‘Here he comes. Any time now.’

I have both a paper and an audiobook copy, because Sacha's book is just so damned good 😁
Definitely one for the #Folklore folk on here.
Go treat yourself.

This, I presume, is exactly the kind of normal PR my new publisher expects from their authors. Nailed it.
