BETWEEN THE TWO

Between the Two is now available. I wrote this book at the start of the first lockdown, a time when great uncertainty was met by a strange excitement of the country going into what was believed at the time to be a lockdown to last only a couple of weeks. We haven't experienced anything like it, certainly in my life time. The three week lockdown didn't happen and still now, over eighteen months later, it is headline news pretty much everyday. I am sick to death of hearing about it to be honest and whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated, I really couldn't care less. Live your life and don't worry about things out of your control.

I have to confess, as a writer, I don't read that many books. The number one rule as a writer is read as many books as you can. I fail at the first hurdle! This week BETWEEN THE TWO is finally available. Not sure why it took me so long to get it ready other than I felt a bit territorial about it. I really love this book, the thought that went into it and the whole process of writing it. I hope people enjoy reading it as much I did writing it.

I have been very busy lately and I am surprised that the long lasting light bulb in the Andrew Milner Books office is still alive. I have a big project that I am working on at the moment but will tell more of that when I can. I am working on a detective series which will be five books (three are finished) whilst also planning the next non-detective book so, it is busy busy....... Oh and I am working full time as well !! (I don't know how I find the time).

So whilst I spend my life in front of my computer forgive me for not getting excited about vaccinations and restrictions, but my brain is already over loaded.

News of the projects as well as my books can be found on my website www.andrewmilnerbooks.com

Keep smiling and keep reading because as long as you do I have an excuse to write.

POST-COVID. A whole new world.

 I have never known the news only focus on one subject. I am coming up fifty years old and have seen this country go to war, and get involved in other conflicts across the globe. But I have never known the news for a whole year only report on one issue. It scares me that there are things going on in this world that we do not know about. Whatever your views on COVID, please look after one another. Mental Health is the biggest threat to this country at the moment. We need to be kind to each other, not attack people for having a differing view to our own.

I often ponder things as I sit and look out of my office window. I wonder what other people are doing right now. One thought excites me, what if someone somewhere in the world is reading one of my books right now? How amazing is that? Like Queen playing Wembley. 1986; thousands of people clapping at the same time to Radio Gaga.. can you imagine how Roger Taylor felt? playing his own song and everyone joining in.

I have recently updated the covers of my first two books, A FAR REACHING DREAM and THE HIDDEN PATH HOME. I just wanted to have more involvement with my own books. I honestly spend hours in my office writing. I have many ideas and switch between them all making sure I still think it is a viable idea for a book. Right now, I have put everything else on hold whilst I concentrate on my crime series. My friends who have been kind enough to read my first two books of the series have good things to say, so hopefully one day they will find their way onto your bookshelves.

Covid believer or not, please don't become one of those nasty people that this virus has created, you all know what I'm talking about. We have freedom in this country to believe what we want and express it. Let's not lose sight of that. 

Hopefully one day life will be normal...I can't see it happening just yet, but get a brew and a book and chill out. And in the words of Jerry Springer, 'take care of yourself, and each other'.
