The sheer bare faced audacity of Starmer as he claims kudos for, his words "taking thousands of children out of poverty" when a year ago he withdrew the whip from his own MPs who made exactly the same argument?

Yes! A million times this.
I've been a novelist for a long time. Every novel I write is an exploration of my own mind. I don't go in thinking about sales or financial objectives. I 100% write because I love to write. What happens to my novels after they are written must not inform or limit my mind.

Decades after nuclear war, magic returns.

As artists and spies alike discover how to use this power, some will stop at nothing to have it for themselves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Skillfully weaves a love story and political/religious thriller together with magic."

Yes, that reading for pleasure can include oral, whether read to them, audio books or even a video of someone sharing a book. That it doesn't matter if its non-fiction or fiction, it's about finding pleasure in it.

Come on people, I will be checking up later. 😀
Tadpoles in November?

These little wrigglers were spotted on Dartmoor in a pond created for natural flood management under our RRC project. While they might overwinter, we think they’re more likely to become a winter snack for local wildlife!

Ethereal. Almost unreal. And yet somehow realer than almost anything you can imagine.

Aww, cute. 😍

Dick Dastardly's dog wasn't well so he borrowed another one. It wasn't *exactly* the same, but it was a proxy Muttley.

No idea. Series looks interesting though.
Can anyone who's read (as opposed to listened, like me) Brigands & Breadknives tell me how to spell the name of the city they're headed to?

The main improvement needed is to open the doors and release everyone held there. Same for every other one of these Nazi internment camps.
Bring everyone back to their families and lock the Nazis up instead.

If you’re on Twitter… well, don’t be on Twitter. Even his cars are infected with his AI. The world doesn’t need the influence of this pathetic, evil thing
The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Artwork for a book I am writing.
Slowly building up the adventuring party for "The Chosen One"
Two sketches of the mare, Conker, because the artist did a second sketch following feedback. Opinions welcome. Info in #AltText

Dear manufacturers
Please be more specific...
SPICE doesn't help.
Cloves make my throat close up.
Cinnamon makes my lips tingle.
Ginger is a different reaction.
(I think! They're often together, especially at Christmas.)

There is a difference.

Had a dream that I paid for an advert for Grandad Pigeon by Paul Gunning and somehow the link went to a new hardback edition of The House at Pooh Corner.
Who can I sue?

A new account with news about books and writing plans. Good work in progress (short stories/2 novels) + new editions of existing novels soon.

A break from socials gave me time to breathe… thought I’d stay away forever. But some sort of presence makes sense. #noteworthybooks #books #writing
