… full of sound and fury... That will be my next tattoo. What do you think?
I repeat what I have repeated for far
too long:
‘O war! thou son of hell’ O Putin! Thou son of hell! Our thoughts and support are
still needed to the people of Ukraine, and the people of Russian who hate this
war. Protest in any way you can! And don’t give up hope. ‘True hope is swift, and flies with
swallow's wings.’
In this time of turmoil and hope I give you this familiar
promo for the book Shakespeare calling – the book. Indie authors like me always
need support, even now when book signings and lectures can again be scheduled.
Only on the Internet can I reach people like you, who are interested in
Shakespeare would like to support the Shakespeare Calling project. I do so hope
you will help me by ordering the book online. Any sales I make of
this book will go directly to Doctors without Borders for their work in Ukraine
as long as the war lasts. Just let me know and I’ll send the money
forthwith. You can also order directly from me. Just write me an email. Thank
you.
Anyone from Ukraine – send me an email and I
will send you the book free of charge.
The book is available for those of you
in Great Britain and parts of Europe on this site:
