    “Totally engrossing.” “A novel to really get lost in.” It’s out.  ‘Paper Boats’ has finally hit the press and is now available to download for Kindle via Amazon and, for all you paper addicts, through Lulu.com It will eventually be possible to order paperbacks from Amazon as well but it takes a few weeks to process – my apologies for this.…
