The Glory Years is out today, thank you to everyone who has bought it, read the blog and generally encouraged me to keep going. You can buy it from all the usual places, but this is a good one: Oh, and I made a little video to celebrate.

@RobArcher65 This is so good to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good work from Mr Fish, quite right too, straight socks, straight mind. I'm surprised he didn't have you running up Shotover Hill.

Well, @WaterstonesOxf, this is very kind. A window and ground floor table display, plus a cheeky early sight of the Mickey Lewis book. Should be available in Waterstones in Banbury, Witney and Didcot too.
