That's the one I was just recommending.

Delighted.

Hello to all those great people selling daffodils today.

Here, here.

Welcome.

And thanks, everybody.

Have you ever written a quote for a book cover?

Yes.

Yes, I have.

And oftentimes, it goes two ways.

Sometimes I'm asked, would you please read my book and can I have a quote?

which I'm happy to do.

Difficulty is if I'm not mad about the book, I have to find a way around that, which I think you'll see.

When you see, you won't see it in lizard books, but when you'll see sometimes, there are sometimes what I would call a mealy-mouthed quote where they're going, oh, it's a roller coaster.

Yeah, I don't think that's...

But then sometimes I will be raving about a book like here and somebody will be listening in like a book publicist or an author or a family member and say, God, he said some really nice things about you.

And they'd say,

Can we use that bit?

And that happens sometimes with movies and books, but mostly books.

And yeah, and I'm happy to do it.
