Please accept my apologies for this interruption to your normal blog based service. It’s time for a commercial break.

I’ve been blogging here for 10 years, and I would like to keep going. As many of you know, I’ve been calling myself an author for the last few years too, and some of you have bought my books.

This year, I am taking two steps to help fund my work. I’ll continue to publish the blog posts on a Monday, and all my fans (you!) can continue to enjoy them at no cost.

If you’ve been benefitting from my weekly posts, and want to show your appreciation, then I’d love it if you became a paying subscriber. How would you like to become one of my patrons?!

It costs £1 a month. And you can do that by clicking the button below. That’ll set up an annual recurring payment of £12. 4 posts a month filled with wisdom and encouragement must be worth at least that!

And the book…

I also have a new book ready for publication. But, I’m going to try a different approach there as well.

It’s called The Lost Things, and you’ll be able to read it by subscription.

For just the cost of a coffee, (£2.50) you can get at least half an hour’s reading material delivered to your inbox every month for a year. At the end of the year, I’ll make the whole book available to you as an e-book, as a thank-you for your support.

So, what is the story and is it worth it?

The Lost Things tells the stories of people who are either lost themselves, or have lost someone or something precious to them. Join them on their treasure hunt and see where they end up. The church, St Anthony’s, is the driving force of the story, but when it comes under threat, who will stand up in its place?

Interested? Keep watching the blog, a formal announcement and a way to sign up will be published in the next few weeks.
