So, a two part message for all you Gaby fans out there.

Firstly, i finished the next chapter of 'Smell of the Crowd' (which may not be the final title), the 27th Gaby book earlier today, my Patreon supporters can read that first draft now. BTW, a massive thank you to everyone who is supporting via Patreon, a steady income really does help keep the constructive juices going!

The second bit is the hot news for the rest of you, the first 20k plus word segment of 'Smell of the Crowd' should be available this weekend on Kindle - i'll post a link once its released.

To set the scene for you all, 'Smell of the Crowd' sees the Bondster swap lycra for stilettos as she and the guys forming BlauHase set off on their first tour - a jaunt around Hesse. Its not completely devoid of bikes - well how could it be? but theres as more action and adventures with microphones than handlebars. Its a journey of discovery for everyone, Gaby, the rest of the band and Misty pka Nena Fischer! The complete book will top out at @ 100k words, i'm hoping to get @ 20k words of this written a month through into the spring, that should give me a little slack to write more Trixie, the last part of that trilogy will hopefully be out in June.

So there you go, keep an eye out for Gaby - Smell of the Crowd: Part 1 when you go onto Amazon this weekend.
