So, I would very much like somebody to make this book already written, please. Alternatively, I could publish a summary and then just reassure everyone that, if I’d filled in the gaps, it would have been a work of art.

@TonyKent_Writes Oh god yes. I mean, I love it, and it is obviously a massive privilege. But also I never want to write so much as a sentence ever again.

@florentineliIy It’s not a full proof I’m afraid - just a sampler of the first few chapters. And I think there are only a handful for people at the event. Sorry!

@NipNapShite Thank you John! So far, so good. People seem to have enjoyed the free brownies, at least. May have to consider giving some away with the book itself…

@Anna_Mazz Hi Anna! The sampler is only the opening chapters - we’re still a little way off having full proofs. The samplers will also be at Bloody Scotland - will you be there?
