The difference in price between the cheapest & most expensive filling station in the area is 36p per litre diesel.
That’s £23.40 extra to fill up our van.
And surprise surprise it’s an EG Shell.
The owners of ASDA driving up fuel since the large acquisition.
I’m boycotting all EG & ASDA stations.
Although I’ve been writing, it feels like my word count hasn’t been increasing, as if I’ve been fantasising the whole thing, but finally I’ve hit 40k words!
I still have a long way to go with this final Theo Newton book, but the May deadline is looking a hell of a lot more manageable now. 🙏
Trump, you are correct, he is no Churchill.
But then you are no Roosevelt.
Only a few hours left of February.
Who will be the first person to buy one of my books this month?

Update.
The third and final book in my Theo Newton trilogy is progressing; albeit slowly. But it is progressing.
If you haven’t read my first two novels they are now available on The Great British Bookshop, my preferred option to Amazon

Why you should never copy and paste!

Actually finished writing a chapter today in my 3rd & final Theo Newton book.
I’ve already sent in a query / rant via email.
It’s appalling. I verified my ID in November.
Received a letter from Companies House stating my ID verification period had lapsed, demanding I complete before 18th February. But my ID verification HAS been completed, I have a personal verification code allowing me to successfully reconfirm my LTD.
COMPANIES HOUSE!
What a cock up this ID process is!
I verified in November, got my personal verification code
In Jan did the reconfirmation of LTD using said PVC. Have the green check against my name on the officers page.
today received a letter saying the digital id verification date has lapsed
The epilogue to Theo Newton Deception, book two in the trilogy.
How is Theo going to deal with this?
And we thought Thanos and the ‘snap’ was bad enough!
Don’t panic! Book three is due out in Spring.

Author copy arrived today of what I hope will be the final cover design for my first novel, I’m really happy with how this turned out. There is lots of fine detail to be examined (Such as the title of book tree is on there) and the gloss finish give it a quality feel.
Before the year is out either Trump will be gone or the country will have descended into anarchy if not civil war.
I don’t like the way this is all going.

The Aurora has been hitting the news again after last nights display, alas I didn’t see it due to cloud cover, but there is another type of Aurora you can’t miss

My mother in law this evening.
“I started to read you Santa story. I was really surprised, it’s very good. Couldn’t put it down until I was too tired to read. About halfway. It a very balanced story. Why hasn’t it sold many copies?”
Me: 😀🤨😃😄😁😣
Marketing, Christmas is over, I’m an indie author.

A time when silicon chips are nano in scale & so technically advanced they can interface with the human brain DIRECTLY.
Think of the possibilities.
An end

to fear? Maybe
to crime? Possibly

An incredible review on Amazon.
You never know, when you have an idea for a story, that anyone else will enjoy it.
So to see such clear enjoyment from something I created is amazing, but that they took the time to write their thoughts means a lot. Thank You 🙏
Happy New to everyone.
That was the dramming year that was: thewhiskywire.com/2025/12/31/t... @glasgowdc.bsky.social @bravenewspirits.bsky.social #Whisky #Whiskey
Think a cover redesign is order. These are the concepts so far.
I’ve been told my previous covers were not clear about the genre or target age.

An emergency has hit Santa’s workshop, the Heartstone that powers the magic of Christmas has a crack and the Aurora is no longer enough to sustain the magic.
Will Santa Claus and his team be able to restore the magic with only days until the big day?

One of my friends has already read the book to their child
“It captures the true meaning of Christmas, that of being kind, having belief with hope and joy. The story is well paced, the family is very believable and having a child with disabilities as a character very inclusive”

My copy has arrived and the finish is exactly what I had hoped for, it has that old school feel about it.
