I was delighted to gather yesterday that finished copies of THE GIST – something I’ve been working on since before my son was born, and he’s now eight, for the love of god – are on their way. There’s a guest blog coming out a week on Friday detailing the project’s tangled road to existence, so I won’t go into it now. Let’s just say… it took a bloody long time. There’s information on …
