When you were a kid, did you read books where the protagonist was a different sex to you? Did you have a preference?

Has anyone had success with Amazon Ads?

If you get 1 click per 1000 impressions & 1 sale per 10 clicks, I don’t see how this can result in significant sales unless you get 100,000+ impressions a week, which seems a tall order!

Love to see art inspired by #archaeology 😁

This is my watercolour of Nether Largie South Cairn in magical Kilmartin Glen. Constructed around 5000 years ago to house multiple burials, it was later enlarged to to accommodate two secondary cists.
The original artwork is now available on my Etsy shop here: shorturl.at/HDzSI

The stunning west door of St Botolph's Priory in Colchester, which was founded c. 1093. Largely built from recycled Roman bricks, it was dissolved in 1535 and is now a stately ruin. #MedievalMonday

A ruinous facade of a church built with stone and brick and featuring a large doorway with a rounded arch.

In the depths of a cave
Lurks the ghost of sweet Maeve
Who’s childish trust
Crumbled to dust
When her brother failed to be brave

Weird that I now have to describe myself as an ‘old school’ writer because I don’t use AI to generate ideas or to write for me 🙃

It’s Publication Eve!

To celebrate, here’s a glimpse of the sort of thing you can expect from The Mystery of Smuggler’s Cavern, in haiku form:

A translucent ship
Sails in eery splendour
Beyond living touch

A forlorn ghost girl
Dwells in the depths of a cave
Lost and forgotten

Autumnal colours
Creep over the woodland floor
In blazing glory

Autumn colours starting to peep out in the woods, including my hair, which is always on-brand for autumn – red and windswept 😊🍄🍂

Get the Xbox! Play is good for your soul and is as important as work - more so, in my opinion!

If you know what I’m talking about, we share trauma 😂
