As today is National Author’s Day, I thought I’d share – in no particular order – a list of some of my favourite writers. Why not let me know some of your favourites in the comments.

We forget that the simple gesture of putting a book in someone’s hands can change a life. I want to remind you that it can.

Still working on the novel today and let me say this again: my worst day as a writer is a thousand times better than my best day at any other job.

Bored? Read a book. Stressed? Read a book. Rainy day? Read a book. Can’t sleep? Read a book. Had a bad day? Read a book. Tired of scrolling? Read a book. Lacking inspiration? Read a book. Waiting for someone? Read a book. Not sure what to do right now? Read a book.

Don't expect corporations (lookin' at you, ABC) to behave morally. Corps care about one thing: profit$. If you want Jimmy Kimmel back, you gotta holler your head off.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

As we say goodbye to 2024, this remains the greatest One-Star Amazon Review of all time. Read it to a friend. It's poetic, almost a haiku.
