Finally got my first AI scam book email! I was feeling a bit left out ngl
don't think this is really the place but I figure it can't hurt to drop a reminder that my wife and I lost our flat in a fire last year and are still looking for a new one – if you have any leads, please get in touch!!

this but it's Keir Starmer and he's asking if there's anything to be said for another reset
My novel is coming out in paperback soon with this handsome new cover! If you've been thinking of picking up a copy, please do me a solid and consider putting in a preorder for £10.44, which I understand is roughly the price of a pint in London. Thank you! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/poor...

haven't done any self-promo in a while but it's payday and everyone's talking about Manchester so... if you're looking for a novel to read this weekend, pick up a copy of Poor Ghost! from your local bookshop. The ONLY debut novel set in Manchester to be published in 2025 (as far as I'm aware)
