    Rose English is also hard at work preparing for the UKIndieLitFest 2016.

  • The ‘Taylor Swift’ Factor and why it has empowered me – No More Free Books

    I was heartened when I listened to the report on singer Taylor Swift’s stand on royalties for singers against Apple and thrilled that they have capitulated. I am neither famous, nor do I have the same following as Taylor Swift – I apologize but I hadn’t heard of her until today, but I quite like…
