There are 4 "stories", and fan response has been great, so we turned them into a print on demand book.

Following that an adaptation of an MC 900 Ft Jesus song “Tiptoe Through The Inferno”. Words by Mark Griffin. He enjoyed it: "This popped up in my Instagram feed a couple of days ago. Pretty cool, Simon Paul!"
