"We've had a lot of fun producing this book, but this is just the start of the journey as book two is due for release in Spring 2018. I look forward to hearing what people think of my aphorisms. With over 34,000 followers on Twitter, and over 14,000 on Instagram, I get regular and immediate feedback from my army of social media followers. Having been persuaded by my friends to turn what was just a private hobby into a book, I'm now also eager to read the reviews and hopefully reach a new audience with my aphorisms".
