My Worst Three Days of 2019 So Far

So, there are a couple of reasons as to why I’m writing this blog post.

3 Things That Have Helped Inspire My New Book

Inspiration is elusive. It’s something that finds you at the unexpected moments; in the shower, on the London underground, slurping the last ramen noodle from the bowl in Wagamamas.
