Dear Endlessly Patient Subscribers

I just wanted to let you know that A Mighty Boy went to print at the end of May. It has been a long process but I think the finished book will look fantastic - I have included a sneak preview of the cover of the Special Edition - and the end papers are beautiful - the team at Unbound have done a wonderful job. 

I hope that it will land on your doorsteps in…

It is a strange feeling. My eldest son, Oscar, asked me why I wasn't celebrating last night after we hit the 100% mark and the page lit up red. I tried to explain that although it…

What can I say?

I have been blown away by the support for the book so far - 50% funded in just over two days. It has been a whirlwind! I only saw the video for the first time at the weekend and my feet have barely touched the ground since, although I notice the cat has still managed to cling on to a place on my lap!
