10 Years Full-time! It is (give or take a fortnight) 10 years since I became a full-time author! I was made redundant 😮 The story is here:  https://mark---lawr...

I was made redundant from my day job (by the closure of the department) 10 years ago!

Fortunately, I've kept busy since.

My blog post on the anniversary:
