Today's episode stars a black woman- in a wheelchair no less- so Charlie Kirk fans probably won't care for it.

March 14. When writing dialogue do I include everything from “hello” to “goodbye” or stick to what’s essential?

One for the writers here … I certainly don’t *not* put the niceties of conversation in; sometimes it’s the mundanity of communication that tells more of the story. How a character greets someone can give an instant insight to their relationship.

Here’s a couple of examples from ‘This Is Not The End’, which is due out really quite soon now…

Those of you who have watched the video for ‘Scotswood Terrace’ or the trailer teaser for ‘This is Not The End’ will have had glimpses of nuggets from the cover of my forthcoming novel.

Once more, the artwork comes from my trusted illustrator Ruby Hartley, and features various cameos from within the story.

Here is the front cover of ‘This Is Not The End’ which is scheduled for publication on April 4th, and available for pre-order at your favourite digital and real book shops.

I’ll share the full wraparound image later…
