If Your Roof Leaks, Knock The House Down!
This appears to be what our neighbours are doing, but let me explain.

THE LAST BRITISH PRESIDENT – SPANISH VERSION DUE IN OCTOBER
There’s been a delay in the Spanish version, but I’m hoping to publish El Ultimo Presidente Ingles sometime in October 2021, when it will be available in paperback and Kindle versions.
