In 2023 we opened on Christmas Day for anyone on their own. Food, drink, games and plenty of festive cheer. We're doing it again this Christmas Day. 10.30am-1pm. Spread the word so people know they can come to Caversham if they want some company.

Thanks to @garethpjones.bsky.social for the video.

A year ago today my Brother took his final journey. This has been the toughest year of my life. I still haven't quite got my head round it, and tbh not even sure that I believe it has actually happened still. Wish I could have one last conversation with him 💔

Remembering my younger Brother on his birthday today. Didn't realise that last years birthday message would be the last one I could send, and that in almost exactly a month's time you would be gone forever. Happy Heavenly Birthday Bro, think of you every day 💔

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1121:
A part of engaging the reader is to get them to notice things in a way they never have. To do that, YOU have to notice things. So be aware of what’s around you. Watch the news. Look out of windows. Observe with all your senses. Question. Be curious. Make notes.

Someone you might know is Indigo's Author of the Month, and his books are 25 per cent off. Not 25 per cent shorter. Books remain the original length.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 11618: LIBRARIES.
Public libraries are important for many reasons, not least because they often host author events and readers' groups that an author can use to help promote their work. These events are usually free, and authors don't generally charge for them.
