Loads of Rory Clements on the shelf last time I was in BodiesInTheBookshop #Cambridge.
If you can't make it on Thursday, I heartily recommend all three of his protagonists;
John Shakespeare - 1st book is Martyr
Tom Wilde - 1st book is Corpus
Seb Wolff - Munich Wolf

So, which French club do we think Dowman will sign for when his contract runs down and he's played 19 games for Arsenal over 5 years?
Writing is a lonely job and most writers make no money from their books. Reviews make a huge difference. If you've read something and liked it, please, please, please leave a review. Amazon, Gooodreads, Social media, a fly-over on the A1, anywhere you like is great. #BeKindReview

Dark clouds over The Flying Pig public house foretell the loss of community to greed. Justine and Matt Hatfield took over The Flying Pig in 1997 and during the twenty-four years of their tenure created and nurtured not just a homely local pub but also the foremost venue for live music in Cambridge. Despite a hard-fought campaign to save the pub, developers served notice a year after this photograph was taken and it has remained empty ever since.

There's an advert on at the moment with a famous chef saying the first thing he was taught at chef-school was that 'butter makes everything taste better'.
Do not let this man make you a cup of tea!
And if he offers to go to the bar, WATCH HIM LIKE A HAWK!
I can't listen to music when I'm #writing, but I don't work all the time. This week I've been listening to, amongst others..

#BillyOcean -When the Going Gets Tough...
#TomWaits -Rain Dogs
