IT'S AUD DAY!! Today you can finally walk into your local bookshop and buy all 3 Aud novels in lovely matching editions. And you should do that! Why? Because if you line them all up spine out you'll discover something...

The trouble with co-writing a script is that I have to let another person see what my first-pass writing notes look like 😅
