Should you wish to place an order now I will carefully package your book on 3rd November and add a little extra gift too, before signing it (if you wish?) and sending it to you. 

There are a few special and limited edition options to choose from depending on what you would like and how you would like to support this project - so please have a read through of the options before you choose. All options have a limit to how many are available.

P.S.

On a train home with the Sun in my eyes

is about:

The Sun 

Having a beach to yourself in winter

Being young

Getting older

The view from the window of a train

The islands close to the Arctic known as Britain 

A town where people go to recover

A recovering town

Letting your mind wander

The sea

Art

A Black Backed Gull

Rock pools as entire universes

Things that make you smile*

[1] smile (verb): 

To turn up the corners of the mouth when pleased or being friendly. Sometimes showing teeth.

* [2] smile (an emotional state particular to humans):

The smiles you do not realise you are making when you forget everything as you are lost in the moment enjoying your place in the universe.

 

 

On a train home with the Sun in my eyes 

will hopefully

let you fall into its pages

and disappear for a while

leave you feeling

like you have been watching

the Sun set 

is due out 3rd November 2025
