Back from a lengthy trip away to Germany and then to family in Australia. Did manage a quick visit to Brisbane’s fabulous Rocking Horse records where I picked up a few things including this belter from James Brandon Lewis

I’m suddenly getting loads of unsolicited emails linked to one or other of my books, each suggesting discussing how best to promote them. They appear AI-generated (so are semi-persuasive). Are others getting lots of these. Needless to say, I’d be delighted if any were real!
