My BOOK OF THE MONTH #shoutout A #ShortRead story from the #SeaWitchVoyages of #CaptainJesamiahAcorne
When the only choice is to run where do you run to?
When the only sound is the song of the sea do you listen? Or do you drown in the embrace of a mermaid?

It'll soon be #Halloween did you know ghosts are usually NOT #scary or #hostile? (Those TV ghost programmes are mostly nonsense!) Meet some real FRIENDLY #NorthDevon #English #ghosts (& discover some #UK #history! #Tudor #CivilWar #WWI)

Have you noticed the detail on my cover for #aMirrorMurder, the first in my #JanChristopher #CosyMystery #series? Designer Cathy Helms and I took a while to get as near to the 1970s setting as possible - and include some hints for the story itself! getbook.at/MirrorMurder

#1066 why did Earl Harold go to Normandy? Forget the rubbish (totally inaccurate) #TVDrama #KingAndConqueror version of events - read my article instead!

so the facts of history are not important to the creators of #KingAndConqueror? Maybe they should have consulted 1066 TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ... Alternative (plausible) stories of #1066

:/ #KingAndConqueror #JamesNorton stated "I wasn't aware of the relationship Harold & William had before the battle [1066] that they were friends & allies for many years" that's because, MrNorton, they weren't! Try my novel it's more accurate! viewbook.at/HaroldTheKing

The #BattleOfHastings1066 #MyNovel 100%better than #KingAndConqueror better #written more (much more!) #Accurate more coherent #Plot accurate #Characters ignore the #TV rubbish read the book! Amazon Author Page: viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

so there's a new #1066 series starting on UK TV ... from the trailers I don't think it's anywhere near as good as my book! (even from these trailers there are enormous inaccuracies!) Amazon Author Page: viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

#CosyMysteries on #BBCRadio News again today with @richardosman1.bsky.social Cosy being made into a film. Good for him I say BUT us indie writers can't get such a boost of promotion- yet ours are just as good! Why not try mine? (& cheaper than his on #AmazonKindle!) viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

My turn as book blog guest today thanks to @alisonmorton.bsky.social Love her comment about A MISCHIEF OF MURDER made me laugh! 'The definite identity of the murderer is still up in the air but the identity of the cucumber and onion saboteur is more important!' alisonmortonauthor.com/2025/08/21/a...
