I used to write comics professionally; now I occasionally write and publish novels and other stuff just for the hell of it. lepusbooks.co.uk
- Recording of second audiobook in three months nearing completion; heartily sick now of the sound of my own voice. One more to go. I may thereafter consider a vow of silence.
- In poker terms he's a 'maniac' who thinks he's a fucking 'eagle'. We're all the bloody chips.
- Damn pigeons and collared doves are convinced it's spring; their constant amorous vocalisations outside my studio window are not conducive to calm audiobook recording.

- Can't imagine Trump is going to let the woman who won 'his' Nobel Peace Prize assume the presidency of Venezuela.
- "The Sentence": 40,000 unpunctuated single-syllable words, written by @fruishfruish.bsky.social and performed by Daniel Copeland is now available to listen to here fruishon.co.uk Well worth the effort.
- Watched The Traitors for the first (and probably last) time, just to see... Weird celebration of self-absorbed mendacity and deception. Very 21st century.
- Kitchen still life. Happy New Year.
- Fascists v tsunami of righteous loathing.
- His work wants to send my unwilling son to US for a conference. He has to fill out intrusive online application and have personal interview at embassy. He's praying they reject him.
- Happy Christmas from Lepus Books lepusbooks.co.uk
- Waking at an ungodly hour from a mess of disturbing dreams. Drinking tea to calm yourself and stupidly turning the news on...
- Not wishing to bore with repetitious mentions, but my novel, BOOK THIRTEEN (written as A William James), is now available via Audible. My two LEEPUS novels will follow in due course, once my vocal cords are restored. www.audible.com/pd/B0G5D2FX4...

- You'd think it would be quite difficult to misplace a sledgehammer in and around a relatively small house with limited outbuildings... but it seems I have done that.
- I have a few codes for promo copies of this, so the first five people who respond and express a desire to hear it are welcome. Shout and I'll follow you back and provide code via 'chat'.
- So, after a labourious couple of months of self-recording and mastering, my first novel, BOOK THIRTEEN, is now available in an audio edition via Audible and Apple Books etc. If anyone wants to invest a monthly credit and give it a star or two, I'd be grateful. Recommended for insomniacs.
- Re the fuckwit Farage: of course, in my experience, the 60s and 70s were rife with both casual and vindictive racism, in the playground and beyond; later those unenlightened took it underground. Farage and his ilk, unreformed throughout, dug it up and waved its rotten corpse in our faces.
- Overdiagnosis blah blah. I reckon those not stressed to the point of derangement and beyond by being forced to survive the sick society we have created are the aberrant cohort.
- Tedious day spent setting up a new Mac. Hopefully this one will be future proof sufficient to see me out. Also, if you haven't already saved a note of your app licences and subscriptions I suggest you do it now; failure results in tedious complications and expense.
- 'Smorgasbord' is a word I never want to hear again post this fucking budget.

- Private Eye...
- A pleasant weekend in Glastonbury visiting grandson. Charity shop bonus. And now heavy diesel convoy grunting past our motel bringing the fair to town for next week's carnival. Good food too. Pretty chilled to be honest.
- Bad day at sea...
- That's nice; forty minutes into recording and hour-long chapter of an audiobook, and some prick with money to burn decides our village is the ideal location over which to hurl his stunt plane loudly about the sky. Wonder how deep he'd bury himself if he failed to pull out of one of those dives...
- The top of the shit pile feeling a bit wobbly if they're throwing royals to the wolves...?
- Word of advice: maybe think twice about recording your novel as an audiobook if you're prone to strangled coughs and splutterings. Twenty-odd minutes per chapter to record, another couple of hours each to edit out the wheezy breaths and retakes...
