We’re very happy to announce that David’s second book in his Infinitium trilogy is out now on Amazon (link in the comments). We will be getting hard copies in the shop over the next few weeks. So excited!😆

📚🚪 THIS WEEKEND ONLY! 🚪📚

Right then.

A small administrative error has occurred in reality.

Somehow, despite several perfectly reasonable opportunities to stop, I have written a book.

Not a normal book, obviously.

That would be far too sensible.

Instead, I wrote a satirical metaphysical field trip through the afterlife involving infinite possibilities, questionable life choices, cosmic bureaucracy, philosophical mischief, and a suspicious number of doors.

And this weekend I’ll be at:

✨ The Holistic Emporium
📍 7 High Street, Sandown
📅 Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st June 2026

Signing copies of:

THE INFINITIUM
A Satirical Metaphysical Field Trip Through The Afterlife

If you’ve ever wondered:

❓ Why you’re here.

❓ Whether destiny exists.

❓ What happens after death.

❓ Why the universe appears to be held together with equal parts wonder and paperwork.

❓ Or why a grown man spent three years writing a book about all of the above…

…then come and say hello.

I’ll be happy to sign copies, talk about the book, discuss the forthcoming sequels, answer questions, and generally engage in the sort of conversations that usually begin with:

“I’ve got a strange question…”

and somehow end up discussing the nature of existence forty-five minutes later.

The frightening part is that you are the main character of the book.

Yes.

You.

Not joking.

That was either a brilliant idea or a catastrophic one.

The jury is still out.

Either way, come and have a look.

At worst you’ll leave with a signed book.

At best you’ll accidentally start questioning the nature of reality while buying crystals.

Honestly, stranger things have happened.

See you this weekend.

📚 THIS WEEKEND! 📚

@ The Holistic Emporium

For reasons that still aren’t entirely clear to me, I shall once again be emerging from my study and interacting with actual human beings.

On Saturday 20th June and Sunday 21st June, I’ll be at the shop promoting my book:

✨ The Infinitium: A Satirical Metaphysical Trip Through The Afterlife ✨

Copies will be available at a special discounted price and, should you wish, I’ll happily sign them for you. Whether you’d like a sensible signature, a personalised message, or something that looks vaguely like a doctor trying to write during an earthquake, all options remain available.

I’ll also be delighted to chat about the series itself, including the exciting news that Book 2 is now almost finished!

If you’ve ever wondered what happens after death, why existence is so wonderfully strange, or why a perfectly respectable philosophical discussion can suddenly involve interdimensional bureaucracy, soul tethers, and an alarming number of squirrels, this may be the book for you.

As a small teaser:

“Choice isn’t rare.

Awareness is.

Most people spend their lives standing in front of doors without ever realising they are holding the handle.”

Or, as I explain elsewhere in the book:

“Congratulations. You are currently piloting a biological space suit made of recycled stardust and anxiety.”

Make of that what you will.

Come and say hello, ask awkward questions, discuss the afterlife, the multiverse, the meaning of existence, or simply point at me and say, ‘You’re the one who wrote that strange book.’

I look forward to meeting you.
