I’d like to propose a TV host swap where Michael Palin goes to restaurants and is nice to people, and Gordon Ramsey goes on holiday to a series of the world’s most dangerous locations (as many of them as it takes).

TBF, I think even Palin’s famed patience and bon homie would be challenged by some of the hotels/restaurants that Ramsay visits….

I forgot to say that Audible agreed with my thought that the book was like Adam Kay’s memoir as it immediately recommended it to me after finishing it!!

Just a quick note: for anyone who doesn’t “do” digital books, my novel is now available in paperback through all the usual Amazon retailers.
I won’t link it again because I don’t wanna be spammy. But a HUGE thank you to everyone who has picked up a copy (and those of you who left reviews are my heroes). I’m proud of it.

I made a game!
It’s a comedy/horror RPG about mundane events (fetes, car boot sales, flower shows, etc) being interrupted by supernatural horrors. Inspired by stuff like Doctor Who and John Wyndham books.
It has 3 whole pages of rules (well, 1 of player rules, 1 of GM rules, and 1 of guidelines for running the game).

Fantastic! Congratulations!
But a title like that may be grounds for getting banned!

I’ve already learned a few British-isms!
For example, I have never heard “Feeling Peaky” before. Exhausted, boned, rundown, crushed, “a bit off,” bagged, and knackered, yes. “Peaky”?
Fabulous.
Quick note, though: in the rules, the order for Conditions is listed as “Perturbed, Feeling Peaky, Knackered” (page 1 to the right) and on the Character sheet it is “Perturbed, Rattled, Feeling Peaky.”

Ah, I knew there would be something I’d missed. This is what happens when you only give the proofreader one page at a time.
I’ve fixed that now

I, too, would appreciate a non-Amazon option for buying this (and your other books, I’ve got a couple already). An epub would be fine.
FWIW I think you could upload the epub to Itch and sell from there; I’ve bought books from there before, e.g. The Fear Vampire by Geoffquest (which I still need to review, aargh, it’s good though)

Downloaded and will read through when I’m not ill. This sounds laser-targeted to me personally.
(I cannot agree with Pillbox re: titles, it’s perfect - but admittedly I have had my metaphor privileges revoked by a fanzine)
