I'm way behind everything I need to do for Punk Rock Philosophy, writing and general life MAINLY because of this gorgeous girl so hopefully the world will forgive me 😀

I have been so distracted by my new kitty that I forgot to acknowledge that yesterday was the official US release date of my punk book 'Rebel Grrrls'! Hope you US readers enjoy it! And in my defence...this is the distraction I've had the last 2 days...❤️

Happy 1 month anniversary to my book 'Rebel Grrrls'! 🎉🎊 So happy to think my labour of love for so long is now a physical entity that you can actually buy in shops! To anyone who has read it- I hope you like it! If you haven't read it, I hope you will!

Yesterday I spotted my book in Newcastle Waterstones & it was a staff recommendation! 😍 And very pleased that Rebel Grrrls also got a 9/10 review in Vive Le Rock! So pleased people are enjoying it 😀

Well, the heat this week has meant I've barely got anything done and I had a massive to do list for Punk Rock Philosophy but I'll try and get done over the weekend! Today I wore my "More Punk Than You" necklace, it's one of my favourites 😅😅

I've just remembered I've got a load of words about The Donnas and the significance of their album 'Turn 21' now it's the 25th anniversary! Maybe I'll start pitching it somewhere 🤔 Would anyone wanna read it if I did?? 😅

Just a little sneak peek of some of the stuff going up on Punk Rock Philosophy over the next few weeks! We'll be celebrating 30 yrs of Asian Man Records & exploring the personal impact of punk AND I'll talk about whether we can really define Punk! 👇👇

On a pink background, there are 3 green shapes and each one contains text that describes a future article topic. One is the anniversary of Asian Man Records, the next one is how punk can be defined and the bottom one is how punk can improve confidence.

A long text that asks people if they have any personal stories about punk improving or increasing their confidence. It asks that if you have any quotes or stories about this that could help with an article then get in touch.
