It’s a Trap!

OK, OK. I missed my May the Fourth Be With You Star Wars quote tie-in by one day (as I write this, it’s May 5th) but it’s a message that’s true for indie writers, whatever the time of year.

This a 3.5 because Banks always wrote so well and managed to imbue even the everyday with charm and life. There's a lot of reflection and poignancy in this, which was his last published work before his death in 2013.
