Just letting my regular reader (Mrs Trellis of North Wales) know that I’m still here. It’s been a busy week — not only was there an election, but my wife had her citizenship ceremony on Wednesday, I got several bits of time-sensitive paying work which took up much of Friday and Monday, and I’ve had a bad case of high blood pressure and arthritic fatigue.

Anyway, this is just to announce the timescale on my next few books. The Beach Boys on CD vol 3 should be out very soon — I need to do about a day’s worth of work on the text, and another day’s worth in indexing, formatting, uploading and so on. How many days it’ll be before I get those days free to do it I don’t know, but it should be sooner rather than later.

The Basilisk Murders, my third novel, should be out by the end of the month, but may be early July.

Patreon backers will get the ebooks of those as they come out, but backers on the physical tiers will get their physical copies of those and Destroyer simultaneously, to save paying three lots of shipping costs.

Also in July, my wife Holly’s book about her experiences as an immigrant, Hostile Environment will be out. Patreon backers will get an ebook (but not a physical copy as it’s not my book and giving away physical copies to them would be unfair to her Kickstarter backers).
