Hello mashheads,

I know it's been a long time since I've updated you on the progress of our book. November is a busy month in my day job as a teacher, and I've been involved in lots of extracurricular events as well. Theatre trips, creative writing seminars, journalism workshops.

But I'm delighted to report that the funding has now reached 95% - so close to completion!

I'd love to get this over the line by the end of the year, so please share with your networks. Every extra pledge will make a huge difference.

I hope you are all doing well, and thank you for supporting this lifelong dream of mine.

Cheers,

Alan x
