'Gin Palace' is now on sale! It looks great! I've put it on sale at my website shop if anyone wants to buy it with paypal. It's 40 pages with colour covers, priced £2.50 or about 4 dollars (free postage in the UK but I'd have to charge for elsewhere…
Aren't I just?! I really should wear it less often though: at this rate I'll need a new one before Summer. I'm such a groupie.
