Talk to Me: Intuitive Animal Communication Made Easy by Richard Faragini.

For anyone yearning to strengthen their relationship with the creatures they cherish, this book is a gentle, powerful companion. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Sometimes I like to have fun with AI. This is Eloise as a cartoon, and I must say that ChatGPT 5.1 nailed the look on her face! 😂

Book 47 of 2025 is one that I’ve had on my shelves for quite some time. I was in the mood for another thriller, and Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris did not disappoint! It’s about a woman who discovers that her new seemingly perfect husband is a psychopath. Chilling and unputdownable!

I’m proud to have edited all these books (and more), except for the first two in The Drowned Kingdom saga by @plstuart-author.bsky.social. It has been a privilege to work with so many talented writers! I wish I’d found my calling earlier in life, but I’m grateful that I did.

Book 46 of 2025 was The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I read it before, and also enjoyed it the second time around. However, I was surprised by how many editing mistakes I found in the HarperPerennials Kindle edition. The four-star rating I gave it after my first read remains. #BookSky

It was such a pleasure to be taken out to lunch today by my client, Thomas Knight! We celebrated the release of his first novel, Heirline, which is excellent!

Several bookstores in the region stocked 5 copies each, based on the cover alone (I created it with AI)! I’m so happy for Thomas!

I've been having fun experimenting with creating #bookcover designs using AI. Here are a few I've created so far for #gothicfiction #historicalromance #fantasy and #pulpfictionmystery. I made up the concepts and the prompts, and BOOYAH!

Oi! You know what it’s like! I got Eloise 3 months before the pandemic and when I’d hoped to take her to puppy classes, I couldn’t. Sometimes I wonder if pandemic pups are more liable to suffer from anxiety as it was ingrained in them through their owners’ anxiety at that time.

It’s been two years since I published my second volume of poetry, Eden Redefined. I’m grateful for the wonderful reviews it received, some of which I published in this post on Substack.

I've been working hard on a new WordPress website, including new artwork, an expanded colour scheme, images to represent genres I love, as well as some of my favourite literary characters. I can't wait for it to launch!

Here's a sneak peek of my new Home page art that incorporates my logo!

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Halloween this year than by going to see Frankenstein by Guillermo Del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social at the cinema! My friend Kim & I bought our tickets. I can’t wait! I’m so excited to see this film! 🎞️ 🤩

I have completed my Goodreads reading challenge of 40 books! I may make it to 48 by the end of this year. 😊

Book 40 was The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction by Amy J. Schneider—a brilliant resource for any editor who copyedits fiction!

Book 39 of 2025 was The Guncle Abroad by @stevenrowley.bsky.social, a man who has become one of my favourite authors. This is the fourth book of his that I’ve read, and he never fails to delight me with his heart, wit, and marvellous characters. I will read everything he writes. ❤️
