Hi Blue Skyers. Just to let you know, The Bologna Vendetta, one of my faves and a standalone that also works well as a good intro to the series, is currently #99p on #Kindle #Kindledeals www.amazon.co.uk/Saturday-Mas...

Apologies, there's just so much social around today, I'm not sure where to turn (so I usually turn to Insta, and, less often Substack). But I see there's quite a gathering here, so will have to visit more often! In the meantime... tombenjamin.substack.com/p/i-met-that...

Buying a cheap day return at the railway ticket office, the woman asked me if I had a railcard. No, I replied, and almost added cheerfully, I know I look young, but I'm not that young! It was only sitting on the train that it occurred to me she wasn't referring to THAT kind of railcard...
