A rainy-day walk in CornwallMy booklet was published on Amazon this week. Two formats: paperback and digital.
38 pages with black & white photographs.
The cover is improved, but still rubbish, and one day I might get round to changing it…
Two little successes this week.You must forgive me for some moderate boasting, but it seems I have been trudging through a writing desert recently. When I come across the occasional waterhole, please don’t blame me for wanting to linger in its shade and enjoy the view.
