Author: Ian Gouge
As a compulsive writer, I have authored nearly thirty books: novels, collections of short stories, volumes of poetry, and some non-fiction. As an independent publisher (using my Coverstory books imprint), I have also produced a number of books for other writers, plus anthologies in which many contributors have had their work showcased - some for the first time. All of which is somewhat irrelevant without you, my readers. Please check-out my sites - including the links to my podcast. I would be delighted if you found something you decided you would like to read.

Should I use Eventbrite?

I'm sure having access to tickets/Zoom links automated rather than the current very manual process I employ would benefit not only me but attendees too... The only question is whether it's worth the modest cost or not. Mind you, it would also [...]
