Holland, you have a problem…

In the acknowledgements page of I,Gabriel, appears a name you will be unfamiliar with… Raef Meeuwisse. I told you. It’s an unusual name. He is the only Raef and the only Meeuwisse I have ever met – but boy, am I glad that I did – as should be anyone who is looking forward to…

No ordinary Sunday…

This is a blog I wrote today for The Brothers Trust website – which I thought to share here also in-line with advice gleaned from my sporadic bursts at becoming more on-line savvy – which is at best, plodding… * Like all Marvel films, for the diehard fans, Spider-Man Far From Home is more of…

Let’s save a strangers life…

Some people are better than others at pushing themselves and their wares on-line.

Dominic Holland Bucks You Up

This week, the true horror of the word impotence struck me. I refer not to any marital failings but an equally grave scenario – my website went down. Anyone self-employed and with clobber to sell is completely beholden to the nerds who now run our world. On this subject – exciting news – a new…
