Books.

When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it.

Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.
I found the #minalima shop in London last weekend...

It was beautiful ❀️

I wanted to take more photos, but it just seemed too sacred a place to wander around snapping original props and whatnot...

If you want me, I'll be melting into the carpet trying to bounce back from my 8 year old's pizza party this afternoon...

Oh wait, I've got work tonight instead... πŸŒ™

It was a sudden and sad loss. Never had an ill bit of health, and suddenly swelled like she was pregnant.

Renal failure, but still eating, drinking, and climbing the daughter's bunk bed like normal.

She was a wonderful pet and my lovely friend had her purr turned into a sound wave 🀍
We lost our 19 year old lady - Latté this year too 🀍

Everything in moderation, including the vista 🀣
This is the view from the new house 🏠

We can see 40 miles to Eastbourne and on a clear day, Beachy Head.

On the flip side, we can also see a clear view of the local Aldi to the right... πŸ˜‚
Oh, and this...
Jack Frost fractures small enough to have been created by fairies... Another fabulous part of #winter ❄️ 🧚🏻
Wintry sunsets are (to me) one of the only good things about this season ❄️

So there's hope for me yet? πŸ‘€
It took me fifteen years to break in. I got seven book dealsβ€”all with Big 5 publishers last year. +I turned 50 last month. Good time to bloom. Keep going. #kidlit #childrenspublishing
A bit about my author journey for all my new pre-published friends: I wrote 6 novels over 13 years before landing a book deal with Greenwillow/HarperCollins at the age of 45 and publishing 4 books in 4 years. Don’t give up on your dreams!

Ok, so, hi everyone! I’m a primary TA from Yorkshire who moonlights as a contemporary romcom/women’s fic writer when I’m not at school. I have three books out at the mo, two full drafts waiting for the next step and I’m currently trying to bang out a full draft of something new before Christmas 😴

Beautiful part of the coastline.

I joined today out of curiosity and glad I did!
You'd be surprised... 🀣
Good evening to the new followers ✍🏼

It's so refreshing to see this community again! ☺️

A brief hello - I'm Demi, a Brit living in 1066 country (Hastings), with my 2 miniatures, husband and a gobby cat called Colin.

I write and read middle grade fantasy adventures ✨

X is like shouting into the abysmal void.
Blue Sky is like standing on the tip of a mountain and shouting into the unfolding landscape below and the echo being carried by winds of change.

Or something like that πŸ’™
