My illustrations exhibited, among other artworks, as a homage to a nearby mining town grown in late 19th century. ⛏️

Due to unstable underground, as a result of deep mining, the entire town was moved starting in 2014. Almost nothing is left today.

#99p #99c #KU Sexually abused as a child? This practical little book offers ideas to help you regain control of your life. ‘This book is inspiring. Enlightening and refreshing.’ mybook.to/FromVictimtoSurvivor

Gillian Jackson @gillianjackson.bsky.social · 20d

#99p This is one of the fastest-paced books I've ever read. It builds momentum rapidly and has so many twists and turns it was hard to keep up. But it is definitely worth the ride! geni.us/SnatchedGJ

Gillian Jackson @gillianjackson.bsky.social · Oct 2

Only 99p! #KU What a book, it drew me in from the first page and spat me out on the last. The story, narrative and characters are all superb. Have to admit some parts made me cry and not many have managed that. Making this a very highly recommended read. geni.us/TheWinners

Gillian Jackson @gillianjackson.bsky.social · Sep 30

Only 99p! “You know people who say they couldn't put the book down? Well, I couldn't leave it. It was a very intelligent story, well written and I had to know what happened. The housework will keep for another day.”

Gillian Jackson @gillianjackson.bsky.social · Sep 26

#KU This is a true psychological thriller. Riveting from start to finish, I couldn't put it down. The characters are well-rounded, some likeable, some absolutely despicable (well, one, anyway!). If you enjoy psychological thrillers, don't miss this one. geni.us/ThePharmacist1

That moment where you realize that your world building had spawned at least three new prequels and probably six novellas because the history is actually interesting:
