Lit or Lighted?

Pled or Pleaded?

Whichever gives the most pleasing rhythm.

The proof copy of my debut novel, 'Sex & Violets', is in the post! Exciting times, in an absolutely terrifying kind of way...

That's great news, Hipps! The closest I come is comp copies of small press comics I've contributed to but it always feels great to receive them. I guess what you're getting feels much better, though - and that's no disrespect to the organs to which I contribute.

Holding the proof-copy of 'Sex & Violets in my hand right now and not feeling even slightly stressed. Not one jot. Not even slightly. No siree, not at all. Or terrified. I'm not even bothered...

You cool dude, you...

My novel was released today and is available in paperback here:

https://www.createspace.com/6129047

and kindle here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sex-Violets-M-Spencer-ebook/dp/B01E84J9DC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1460614083&sr=8-3&keywords=Sex+and+violets

The paperback will also be available from all of the Amazon website's in a day or two and I shall post the link then. It's not sci-fi in any way, shape or form but I would appreciate it if you would 'encourage' your lovers, partners, colleagues, pets etc to buy a copy. In the meantime, please enjoy the beautiful cover that Mark 'Blam' Blamire (designer of the iconic 'Trainspotting' poster) designed for me.
