@RoyalMail 2 days I've waited in for a collection. 2 days I've received an email saying item couldn't be collected because I wasn't in (I certainly was). Now app erroring with a random hex number (see image) when I try to rebook for a third time. Not a great look from you guys.

I'm absolutely delighted to announce that my new series "Age of Attila" will be published by @HarperCollins, a true giant of publishing! Book I 'The Eagle & the Wolf' comes out in August. Pre-order here: books2read.com/Attila1 #NewBook #HistFic #Roman #Attila
