Launch day thank you

🙏 THANK YOU — What a Wild 24 Hours!

I’m still trying to process the last day, because honestly… what just happened?

The past 24 hours since launching STOP, POLICE! have been absolutely incredible. I’m blown away, humbled, and more than a little emotional. I knew releasing this book would be a big moment for me personally, but I never expected the response to be this overwhelming.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you to everyone who downloaded the eBook, ordered a physical copy, shared the link, messaged me, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines. Every single bit of support has meant the world.

Seeing the downloads flying in and the paperback orders stacking up has been surreal in the best possible way. And to top it all off, STOP, POLICE! has already received its first 5‑star reviews from readers. That kind of feedback, especially so early on, is something I’ll never forget.

This book has been a long journey — personal, emotional, sometimes daunting, and often cathartic. It’s a story shaped by my time travelling across the USA as a teenager and my years serving as a police officer in Portsmouth. To see it land with such energy and enthusiasm is nothing short of amazing.

Thank you for being part of this moment with me.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for believing in the story.

Here’s to whatever comes next — and to everyone who helped make launch day unforgettable.
