Please could you help me to spread the word about my swashbuckling adventure story with a pirate protagonist, sapphic romance, with a dash of werewolves and vampires? My latest novel THE VENGEANCE is available in all formats geni.us/thevengeance Perfect for escaping the horrors of our time.
You know what tomorrow is, my lovelies? IT'S LEGO ENTERPRISE-D RELEASE DAY! The thought of that is giving me life right now. As is this very silly thing that I hope makes you laugh too.
This was really, really, stupidly funny

Radiotherapy finished yesterday. After the last session I went to the cafe as usual and unexpectedly burst into tears over my drink. The last few months have been so hard and I don't think I have really processed it all. I am feeling immense pressure (all self-inflicted) to be super productive,

Today I passed the halfway point in the radiotherapy treatment. Very tiring, but nearly there! Last session is on Monday. I am thinking about getting something doughy with lots of cinnamon after Monday's session is done.
