After weeks and weeks of work my audiobook of "The Evergreen in red and white" is available. https://t.co/nhFqsO1vLH
I have some (free) promo codes for anyone who would like to review it. (I would have liked to get Sean Bean to read it, but he's a bit pricey...)

"Kuku Mehta – Knight in Shining Armour."
Set around a chaotic Indian destination wedding, it is a light-hearted romantic comedy inspired: Bertie Wooster meets Bollywood.

@ShellyAsquith Not strong enough, Shelly. Employees should not be forced to work alongside colleagues who are ill (no different to exposure to any pathogen at work under COSHH). Anyone turning up for work ill should be sent home by the employer.

@1goodtern There was a piece on @BBCLookNorth on Tuesday about how heart attacks in working age people have risen by 23% in 5 years. No analysis as to why this could be other than pressure on the NHS and fitness/lifestyle. The 2 case studies mentioned were both young and fit.

Just posted 2 book reviews of Sheffield novels: https://t.co/Ld9VGPF9Px
One has just 2 reviews & is published by the author. The other is published by Simon & Schuster, a "Number 1 bestseller" with over 1000s reviews.
I loved one and thought the other a bit "meh". Guess which?
