Oh, hey -- the first book of the 'Heartstopper' series is on sale for $1.99 on Kobo (didn't bother checking Amazon, sorry). Got myself a copy, of course. I've seen the series on Netflix, adored it, and am waiting for the second season to drop. Anyway, behold my scrambling efforts at catching up with the youth.

And the book that came out was 'The Glass Minstrel', which is a Christmas novel but isn't a feel-good story by any stretch. Not gonna lie about that. It's my baby, though, and I'm mighty proud I wrote it even though it took a lot out of me.

Aww, gee. I remember listening to this randomly some years ago while idly trawling Youtube. A seed of a story formed, "Benedict" was written, and then 'The Book of Lost Princes' was eventually published.
