It’s two in the morning and I just deleted a chapter from my novel (to move the important bit to a later point in the book). I’m sending it to my publisher next week. AI will never understand the thrill of making such a decision. And knowing it’s right.

My first novel is sadly out of print and there’s still a few places selling it. Second hand is amazing, but there’s at least one place trying to almost double the retail price and I get none of that money. HOWEVER… I do have about 40 copies left to sell in my possession. £10 including UK postage! ☺️
