Note from Mrs Lush:
I know William Fagus and he is too unassuming to ask you to do this and in any case he thinks folks will magically find his book never mind all the millions there are out there, so muggins here is asking for him.
If you read this book and you like it, please leave a review.
You don’t have to write loads. Apparently it helps the ‘bots’ (whatever they are) to find it and it gives new authors a leg-up and that.
Yours, Mrs Lush
