    THRILLED to have an excuse to start drinking even earlier... The Nursery is in the running for this year and in some pretty amazing company!

    Ta da! is overexcited to offer this year’s range of witty and original material. Due to content there may be a risk of laughter, enjoyment or very possibly peeing with abandon... here's the 2020 Published Novel longlist

    The Nursery by is only 99p on kindle - I didn't realise that it was the second in a series when I started it, and I had bought the first in the series before I was halfway through!
