I'm so sad to hear that Jilly Cooper has died. What a wonderful career she had, and now she is reunited with her beloved Leo.

One of my writer friendships a writing retreat weekend at her house two or three times a year. We write all day, then socialise over dinner which we prepare together. We've been known to average between 6000 to 8000 words each over 3 days. Well worth doing if you're short on money.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

📕The Transcendent Tide by @dougjohnstone.bsky.social 📕

Doug Johnstone is a phenomenal writer, I have cried with laughter when reading his Skelfs series, this time those brimming tears were for totally opposite emotions. Bravo!
