☕ Good morning, my friends.
How’s June treating you so far?
Just a heads-up: I’ll be tweaking my publishing schedule from next week onwards. Instead of two weekly HTWFAL posts and a weekend roundup, I’ll be putting out one midweek post and combining the second with Saturday Morning Coffee, giving you something meatier to read at the weekend and [hopefully] reducing your midweek overwhelm. Fewer posts, same reading time.
Speaking of posts,
invited me to write a guest piece for her wonderful publication, Smarter Solopreneurs. You can read it right here:My debut novel, The Soulburn Talisman, is now available for purchase… and the first reviews are in! See what others have been saying about it here:
