It’s been a really tough few weeks, but some semblance of normality seems to be on the horizon, so I’ll get back to my regularish writing routine soon. I’m hoping to finish ‘Good Neighbour’ soon and release it on this site, and I need to start drawing up the roughs for the next series of ‘Still Life’ if I’m to release it later on in the year. As always, I’ll keep you posted.
