Oh, sure, that's how it *starts*. But then you begin experimenting with a little Methodism, maybe the occasional bit of Anglicanism. You tell yourself you can quit any time, but it's a slippery slope, and before you know it, you're on the hard stuff.

Excited to announce my debut novel, Timebomb, is now an audiobook from @WFHowes. Read by talented voice actor @alanmedcroft. Buy it from Audible, Kobo, Spotify, and others. rbmediaglobal.com/audiobook/…

(Not) judging a book. Picked this up for 25 cents. Despite the lurid cover, complete with exclamation marks in both the title and subtitle, this first-person account of Imperial Japan's suicide submarines is restrained and thoughtful in style. Well-written and very interesting!

I had the pleasure of giving a reading of "Timebomb" yesterday to the residents of the same retirement home where my father lives. Lots of interesting questions afterwards--seems like people who read books stay sharp as they age! @SharpeBooks @CullandCoAgency @WFHowes
