January. Oh, the pressure! I make the same resolution every year: Eat less, move more… and, inevitably, by day three, I break it. But not this time. 2020 is all about being new and improved.

Like the first glimpse of snowdrops on a dismal January day, for an author, a brilliant new 5-star review gladdens the heart. I’ve been lucky.
