My new novel "Hope Rising" is available now on Amazon and Kindle. It's the follow up to "The Decision", set in 2027, where the big issues are an authoritarian state and environmental catastrophe. I used to describe that as dystopian. Not so sure now... https://t.co/xZh6uKCKy2

RIP Shane McGowan. I remember a gig at Hammersmith Palais in the 80s, supporting Elvis Costello I think, where in one song he was hitting himself on the head with a tea tray!
