Frustrating as it is, I’m still held back from publishing book 3 because of the lock-down until I can physically meet up with those who help me put everything together. If I attempt to do it myself I know I’ll end up in a mess and lose the plot.
Covid 19 has had such a profound affect on so many lives they may not ever fully get over it. Putting into perspective what is truly important in life. Publishing a book isn’t high on that list.
However, escaping into another world through the books we love to read is so beneficial and a respite from stress, worry and boredom while lifting our emotional equanimity.
Failing that, I find a few beers works just as well and even better when the two are combined.
I sincerely hope it won’t be much longer before the book is up for sale.
Keep well. Keep safe and try to keep smiling.

Introverted as a child I would lose myself in books while dreaming of becoming an author.
When asked what I wanted to be when I left school I'd inwardly scream 'An Author'
Only kids from my background weren't expected- or encouraged- to harbour unrealistic asperations. I became a carpenter apprentice on £2-10 shillings a week.
Later I worked in the meat industry despite trying to avoid it, but it was here that I grew up and nurtured my off the wall humour via some of the craziest characters I ever knew.
I spent the last ten years of my working life lecturing, training and assessing apprentices.
Many of us could be bitter that we never had the opportunities or the privilege's given to the more fortunate to touch the sky while we were still young. Personally; I prefer to ride the waves and look forwards rather than backwards and drown in regret.
