"It's by no means obvious, to non-disabled people, which parts of living with a disability are challenging and which aren't. In fact, it's often the opposite of what people expect." -James Catchpole www.readingzone.com/authors/jame...

Illustration of 3 cute dogs standing in a city park. There is an open box of pizza on the ground. A small sign taped to the box says 'bob's pizza - don't touch'. One dog is curiously investigating the pizza.

Just looked up Brox-den (😉) on google maps - it looks lush! And absolutely like the place the book could take place

I Really enjoyed Nowhere Island - it gave me a weird/good summer holidays vibe, where you spend time outdoors building dens in the woods with pals, as well as reminding me of this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPDv...

Note from my notebook (2017).

I know I buy too many books but I like to think that lining the walls of my house with them warns off evil in some deeply important way.

These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total).

If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow.

P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"
