Many people have told me how they like to read the opening few paragraphs of books before buying.
So, here is the opening to mine, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' which will be available for pre-order early 2025 and then released in August.
I'm a first time author, so shares mean a lot and I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.
