It may appear disproportionate to some that five glowing reviews on Amazon UK and one on Amazon US for The Magician’s Washing Machine have made me incredibly happy today. I’m going to value every single reader who likes my work, though. I’m grateful. And why shouldn’t I be pleased? There will be stinky reviews to come, sure, but more good than bad. Because happy readers are more motivated.

What I dream about are stories that I hope will make people smile and laugh and feel. It’s better to spread joy than feed misery. Sod austerity, raise a glass. My first novel, WOOF!, brash and full of swears as it is, is a celebration of life’s utter everyday craziness. And I know what’s coming next, stories-wise. I can’t wait to show you but I need to get them written first…

Thanks to everyone who supports me. I’m glad I tickle your funny bones and don’t end up on a charge because of it.
