Thank you very much for your immensely kind words Chris. I have much in common with you in that I stay at home and write (on Medium, my novels, and the odd bit of "content" writing/freelance journalism), attempting to make a living of this writing thing. My children are much older, however - 13 and 17 respectively. My wife has a part-time job (which she loves) so between us we just about get by at present. I was made redundant from a fairly good TV job I'd had for over two decades in mid 2020, so as a family we've had to make a lot of adjustments, but on the plus side, we are all much happier as a result of the changes. Even though they were difficult at first, I think they were a blessing in disguise.

Needless to say, I greatly appreciate you and your writing, and I also wish you nothing but the best. Thank you again. :)
