My light hearted mindfulness spoof comprehensively proves that life is just better with beer. The History Press obviously agree with me because they will be publishing it on June 1st. Please read responsibly.
I am now writing the next crime fiction novel for Penguin Random House. In fact, I’d better go and get on with it.
