UPDATE: Only joking! This has been an April Fools joke! See the bottom of the post for more info.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am very excited to announce and unveil a new book I’ve started working on. It’s the sequel to Anti-Sell – but instead of giving more sales and networking advice to freelancers and small business owners, it’s going to be a children’s book, starring… my cat, Melissa!

I give you: Anti-Mel! 😻

You can see the cover above (the banner for this post). It looks amazing, no? Bask in my image editing skills! Bask in it.

I’m not sure what the story will be, or if it’ll have any other characters (like Melissa’s step-sister Pepper), or anything like that just yet. All I have for now is a title and the cover – but that’s all I need.

Also, rather than going down the self-publishing route (like I did with Anti-Sell), I encourage all publishers to get in touch with me with your offers. This is gonna be big bucks, I tell ya. I will be the next Julia Donaldson – just you wait.

Anyway… Sign up to my newsletter to be kept up-to-date with updates on it, as well as updates for Anti-Sell (the blog and the book).

Keep on Mellin’! 😸

UPDATE: Only joking! This has been an April Fools joke, much to everyone’s relief/disappointment [delete as appropriate] I’m sure. I was originally going to go with “Anti-Shell” (“for people who hate snails”) but I was worried that I’d incur the wrath of animal rights people and/or Shell the oil company. 😂 I should also add that I did not paint my cat green – I took a photo of her and warped the colour of it. If you’d like to see my past April Fools efforts, feel free to read about the time I considered naming my baby after an SEO industry guru, the time I considered quitting the SEO industry to go into modelling, or the time I considered rebranding Cardiff SEO Meet as Cardiff CEO Meet!
