You've got the makings of a serious narcissist, mate. All this vengeful, inexplicably vitriolic assault on a young couple. What, because you weren't invited to the wedding? Give it a rest. Privilege doesn't always make life 'easy' … or is this the equivalent of *entitled grief*.

The equivalent of Trump's wall … and look where that got him.
Robbing us of our freedoms and impoverishing the cultural and other diversity of our country is no cause for celebration.

After many years of campaigning, I am delighted the Immigration Bill which will end free movement on 31st December has today passed through Parliament.
We are delivering on the will of the British people.

This is the man who has set up the website to offer free ebooks … most of our books are here. He's a thief. Ripping off authors and publishers on . Please share this and shame him.
Because email take-downs are slow, usually not filled out properly, and ineffective... I have created (above-and-beyond my legal requirements) an online form that you can use to have your copyrighted material removed from the site.
You can fill it out and your book comes down4/5

I am so angry I could cry! PLEASE DON’T visit these VILE people. What’s the point of battling on if your work is just going to be STOLEN? It takes a writer months and sometimes years to write a book, and yet THIEVES think it’s fun just to STEAL that time and effort?
Just imagine using your large, incendiary social media platform to pick a fight with a retailer who is encouraging (not forcing) customers to wear a mask. Over the past few days, I've come to the conclusion that a lot of English people really aren't very nice, are they? 🙄
I make a point of buying books at my local
@Waterstones
rather than ordering on Amazon because I want bookstores to thrive, but if I go into your store and a member of staff asks me to wear a mask, you will lose my business forever.
It is surprisingly hard to dilute an entire book blurb down to 30 words, but I have now done all of our January to July titles and I cannot TELL you how excited I am by our 2020 list!! OMG! Watch this space!
Well, this doesn't happen that often…*

Maybe this is an opportunity to think twice before you tap out another abusive column/tweet about someone else. Words are powerful and if you use your platform to bully and leer, there will always be repercussions.

I'd be careful about alienating a community of people who support the authors you publish. We have massive blog tours and often have to reprint BEFORE publication as a result of their success in spreading the word. We couldn't do without them, actually.

Our offices are now closed for the holidays, and we'd like to thank you SO much for your amazing support and loyalty. Times are tough for indies, but we can achieve anything with you on our side!
