Exciting times today.
After months of dithering and procrastination I recently got off my backside and did something about getting my next book out there into the public gaze.

The coming days will see the final checks and adjustments and then it’s all systems go.
Time to settle in for another mad ride with Bromo along the back streets, dark corners and ne’er do wells of my beloved Richmond.

Their framework is clearly based on those…
LinkedIn or lost out?
Somewhere along the way I seem to have lost out on the many advantages LinkedIn claims to offer. Several years of membership and I am none the wiser. It’s like being admitted to one of those exclusive London clubs and being allowed to enter no further that the lobby. Am I wearing the wrong tie?…
