Oh, how I wish I could have been there! 🥰

I’ll never forget last night. Michael Sheen reads Dylan Thomas and R.S. Thomas, while I respond in the gaps with songs that try to empathise with the haunting words of Wales’s beloved poets.. as recited by one of its greatest actors. Thanks to Michael for the depth of his creativity and kindness.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends on Bluesky! May your day be filled with blessings and love. 🦃🥧🍂

Book 37 of 2025 is one I purchased for work, because I can always learn more about how to copyedit fiction, particularly how to help the author remember the needs of the reader. As a genuine bibliophile, I know how important that is.

"In today’s fractured world, where everyone is living in their silos, diversity can seem like a challenge, but it is actually the very source of strength and joy in society 🙂. Filmed at #DeMazenodFarm. Lemme know what you think of this song!"

I’ve donated my article, “Take Me by the Hand: How the Danse Macabre Became Real,” to help raise funds for Into the Dark. 🌑

It’s available exclusively to Kickstarter backers. Even $1 helps bring this dark fantasy anthology to life.

Only 1 week left to join us! www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

I’ve been struggling to try to get AI to create branded blog graphics for my website. I’ve never really liked the ones I’ve used, but I didn’t know what I was doing. Can anyone recommend an excellent AI program that will create perfectly branded graphics every time with the right prompt?

Good news! Platforms like Instagram, Twitter and TikTok are phasing out hashtags! This probably means that other platforms will follow.

One of my favourite albums of this year is Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine by Luke Spiller (of The Struts). Romantic, cinematic, glam rock with stunning sound: I play it A LOT. I highly recommend that you check it out! 🎶🎧

We are born from Love. We are made of Love. Everything we seek is a reflection of it, and the perceived absence of love is but an illusion. This understanding shapes everything I do, offering a lens through which I approach healing and connection.

Heirline is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric historical mystery thriller of power, legacy, and survival, perfect for fans of international suspense thrillers by John le Carré, David Baldacci, and Karin Slaughter.

Christine Bode @bodaciouscopy.bsky.social · 7d

With only her courage, wits, and the unlikely loyalty of an honourable ally, Alison must decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to risk—to survive.
