Quick recap for you…
I have written before about why I started my blog. For those who missed it one of the main reasons was due to a friend who’s wife (now ex), an aspiring writer and a vile human being, insisting that anyone that self publishes does so as an act of vanity which is probably why she had never been published and for the most part refused to work. I proceeded to take up writing and publish a book of limericks – which I dedicated to her – just to spite her.
Anyway, I have now pretty much finished a second one. This one is much less filthy, has no mention of boobs or prostitutes or weird penis’ and is actually a children’s story book. Still got some general fiddling and editing to do and need to get it all put on Amazon but hey-ho, there you go. I won’t be dedicating this one to here either. She’s had her turn.
Oh and if youre looking for an amazing artist look up Naya Kirichenko, who did the art, damn she’s good and such fun to work with.
More to follow on this!

This is wonderful news! I have to say, I owe a debt to that horrid woman for bringing you to WordPress. Otherwise, I would have missed out on some uproarious laughter and a blush here or there. Ok, so I don’t blush, but a lot of people would! The illustrations for this new one look fabulous. I can’t wait to see, and read, your latest endeavor.
Congratulations! I can’t wait! One of these days (I am guessing within a couple of years) I will have a grandchild and need more kids books to read to them…but nothing in the works yet. Any idea when you’ll start your book tour? 😁
That cover though. Wow. It looks like an old Pinguin publication of the series of epic national stories from around the world. I think I have one copy on me from African tribes. It looks so much like that one book I read when I was a wee lad. Good luck selling those limerics, mate. So proud of you. And the reason you got into writing and publishing is the best thing I’ve ever heard. 😀
Congrats, Michael! 🙂
