Keep Failing, Keep Going

Smashing weekend. Many happy things and chats and stuff. Firstly, there’s the release of my new collection of shorts, Broken Mornings.

Broken Mornings

. 28 stories for my 28th birthday. Who says you can’t give presents to yourself a birthday present for your own birthday?
