Helloo,

I reckon I'm going to give up on pinned posts trying to flog my books.

Here's a song I wrote instead.

The Faroe Islands locker room was quite rightly hyped after the territory of just 55,000 people stunned the Czech Republic 2-1 🥳

It’s their third straight World Cup win, arguably the biggest in their history, and leaves the Faroes one point off a World Cup play-off spot. Truly remarkable 🇫🇴

BlueSky is a good place to share these kind of things.

Raven leads a motley group of survivors after a plague, world wars and regional fighting. She recognises that it’s not possible to do it alone. They are looking for answers and a safe place to live but will they find it in a post apocalyptic world ?

Author Martha Perez @marthaperezbook.bsky.social · 1d

Martha Perez masterfully blends suspense, raw emotion, and high stakes in a saga where love and resilience push back against the ultimate evil. As alliances are tested and darkness looms, the question remains: Can love and unity prevail against the King of Hell👻💀🕸️

True, I been grafting at them all.

Then I wonder if I could become an international assassin.

Man of mystery.

Yup, from the heart is the only way to do it.

Thank you for your considerations.

Matched your 4, Donna.

Iain CM Gray @iaincmgray.bsky.social · 1d

Wow.

I'm super chuffed at your feedback. Especially around my voice, I've never been confident about my voice, but have learnt not to care.

Yup. Am very much a Dylan fan.

Would be interested in finding out my mistakes, so jump in DM'S if you want to give me details.

And thank you.

I thought the same.

Still a long way to go. The game against Chelsea in November is a must win.

Me and my wee lass will be there, cheering them on.

Iain CM Gray @iaincmgray.bsky.social · 2d

Watching Scotland v Belarus is embarrassing.

Iain CM Gray @iaincmgray.bsky.social · 2d

Great result for Arsenal, though very uncomfortable watch.

The Scotland match is looking like being an equally uneasy watch.

I love vanilla.

Iain CM Gray @iaincmgray.bsky.social · 2d

Wondered if you were on here.

How do, Mick?

Every now and then I’ll mention that I wrote a couple of books (sorry)

If you have a couple of quid you don’t know what to do with, perhaps consider supporting a local author (me) Thanks
