Review from Tropical Mary
A fabulous, highly engaged and engaging review just in from Tropical Mary.
"Mr Stitch did very well, and I commend him on creating relatable characters, ones that the reader will love to hate, and easily recognise without them feeling like tropes or caricatures."
"I have to mention the author’s world building skill. Set in a dystopian, near-future, Literature® has just enough of the familiar and different to keep the reader’s eye plastered to the pages."
"I could break down the various themes in the book, like the commoditisition of art, consumerism, radicalisation, terrorism, subjectivity, etc. but I won’t. This story is so artfully written that I think each person who reads it will take something different from it."
Check out the site for Tropical Mary's fastidious, eagle-eyed reviewing style.

More blogosphere shenanigans
Book blogger Jeyran Main has waded in with another 5 star review of Literature®, posting it on Goodreads and at her site.
"Literature® was particularly strong, and it kept its standard up to the end. I would be very interested to read a longer tale from this author."

Deep thanks.

The San Francisco Book Review are calling Literature® a "masterpiece".
We live in uncertain times. The rise of nativism in Europe and North America. Rumblings from the Russian bear. The emergence of China as a global superpower. None of us can assume that the road ahead will be an easy one.
To provide some shelter from the coming storm for at least one individual, I am making available a personally signed copy of my self-published niche novella, Literature®, which I strongly suspect will eventually command a market price of hundreds of thousands of pounds (considering what's happening to Sterling at the moment).
You're welcome.

Integrity Breach
In order to help publicize my novella, Literature®, which is, at least in part, a treatise on the commoditisation of the written word, I cranked out a listicle for The Local, Spain.
