(Thinks of words, writes them down) When not writing, you’ll find me playing the guitar, fussing in the kitchen or doing graphic design to pay the bills.

Too Many Books #2 - The Cotswolds

You visit the resoundingly gorgeous Cotswolds, buy some books—too many—and come pretty close to having a breakdown in Bourton-on-the-Water.

ICYMI, I began a new blog series on Substack a few days ago. Written in the second person, it's a little unusual. This first entry concerns a camping trip to Aberystwyth, where I traipsed around bookstores and didn't sleep much. want-to-tell-you.com/p/too-m…

Too Many Books #1 - Aberystwyth

You begin to wonder (in second person) if you have a book-buying problem. Despite this, you spend two days in Aberystwyth and buy some more.
