Apologies, this is more TikTok than BlueSky! But I’m so chuffed to have crossed the 25,000 milestone on book 3 after weeks - nay, months - of word drought!

A quote about a dystopian tale set in Victorian England appears over a beach scene. Five stars and "Reader Review" are at the bottom.

A serene beach scene with grassy dunes and calm sea. Text reads a review praising vivid imagery. Five yellow stars are shown, labeled "Reader Review."

Quite possibly what the internet never needed- bad jazz improv in Gm on a ukulele. Trying matters though, right?? 😬

I don’t really do poetry (through lack of skill rather than desire) but the roundabouts made me so furious I wrote this one.

It’s called ‘Crossing’

It’s for all of us who hate hate.

CROSSING - a poem

Brush red paint onto any white surface.
A herd of opinion.
Nothing new, novel.
Mindset transparent,
and anger apparent.

Brush red paint onto any white surface.
Negotiate never.
Mask all empathy.
Stiffening sinews,
this hatred contagious.

Brush red paint onto any white surface.
The gammon machine with
its flag flaunted face.
Swastika squaddie,
the fascist’s dogsbody.

Brush red paint onto any white surface.
In a world parallel,
this herd weeps unheard.
Their boats blood and bodies,
lining long distant shores.

This gorgeous laal zine arrived today! This is wayside.mag - a new Cumbrian publication full of painting, prose, poetry and photography. Three of the photos are mine, shot on film on my Grandad’s Olympus Trip 35mm camera 😁

A photo of a magazine held before a boat’s steering wheel. The magazine is called ‘Wayside’ and the cover is a black and photo of Lakeland fells

A magazine opened out to show one page of text on the left, and a photograph on the right. The photo shows a dead tree on which an odd collection of old boots and shoes have been strung

An open page of a magazine showing text on the right hand side and a photo on the left hand side. The photo shows stone walls winding their way over open fields and there is a range of hills in the background. The sky is heavy with blue and grey clouds

Taken myself away for a couple of days on the Lancaster Canal. I’m very lucky with the weather ☀️ I almost want it to rain to quash my urge to stay here forever!

Picture of me, a white woman in her forties wearing a blue t-shirt and a brown cap. I am at the helm of a boat, on a canal on a sunny day

A view over the Lune Viaduct with forested river banks in the background and sun shining through the stone parapets.

My boat ‘Strawberry Fields’ moored on the canal. It is dusk and there are warm yellow fairy lights decorating the deck

I’m not endorsing taping animals to walls. But… I do love this new review of ‘Future’s End’! Thank you! ❤️

Cute dog (not attached to any masonry) and posh brew (not easily achievable with a kettle) pics included.

A greyscale photo of a windswept beach with the text ‘I loved the first book so much and the second book absolutely doesn't disappoint... ...every now and again, something comes along that encourages you to put the kettle on, gaffer-tape the dog to the wall, and absorb yourself in a great story.’ Under the text are five yellow stars and an icon of an eye.

A golden spaniel peeking his head above a pub table. His eyes are big and rather sad looking (he isn’t sad, he just knows how to work the room!)

- talking of magical, I forgot to include a photo of the lights …

A bookcase holding several books, one of the books is facing outwards and is titled ‘The Incredible Machines of Thinkery: Future’s End’. It has a dark green cover and a large, white, singular eye.

Very glad to hear there are "Nuns on the run", quite literally. Has anyone informed Eric Idle?

A photo from a friend who is reading Future’s End despite having strong feelings about me killing off a favourite character in Outpost 9. I think the soup must be resilience fuel.

Gorgeous skies on the canal today. Got back to base just before the heavens opened and wrote near enough 600 new words to the drumming of the rain. ❤️❤️❤️

🧸 Agreed. And thank you, they look a little bit Aga but I can roll with that…

To continue my attempts to balance sales with softness, this week’s review of ‘Future’s End’ is accompanied by Sailor Teddy posing with my boat’s ‘new’ (all from off cuts!) curtains 🍓

#BookSky 💙📚 #Speculative 🪐📚 #Books #Author #Writer #WritingCommunity #Bookish #Fiction #NewFiction #BookSkyChat

a black and white photo of a bleak sandscape. The text reads ‘a historic dystopia with elements of steam punk and horror, and a love story to cling to throughout. I can’t wait for the third book! Disturbingly brilliant!’ At the bottom of the image there are five yellow stars and the text reads ‘reader review’

A scruffy teddy wearing a sailor costume sits on near a strawberry shaped cushion, inside a boats cabin. The curtains are Strawberry Theif by William morris.
