Outing to Soho to celebrate finishing the WIP. Always a good feeling. Three books in Waterstones and a glass of Prosecco before lunch. Great stuff.

So proud that my shul, Alyth Gardens, held the 12th annual Ifftar last night; featured on BBC London news. Rabbi Hannah and Remona Ali, Writer spoke about Peace and Hope. Good to see our faith groups come together to study, pray, share food. I couldn’t make it this year. Photos from last year.

Hey @ittay78! Your inspiring and important book The Holy and The Broken, A cry for Israeli-Palestinian peace from a land which must be shared, is in the house! Everyone should read this book. As you cite in your book, "It is OK to be heartbroken for more than one group of people at the sane time."

Tomorrow is UK Safer Internet Day @uk_sic. My book, Always Here For You, @zuntoldfictionastherapy shows an ordinary teenage girl groomed online by an older man, from the very first contact. Take care. Keep safe.

Great excitement! The Welsh edition of my YA novel Behind Closed Doors @fireflypress has arrived and it looks amazing. Huge thanks to @graffegbooks. Fifteen year olds Josie and Tasha are neighbours, not friends. When their mums let them down they become unlikely allies in a battle to survive.

Great literary lunch today at The British Library friends and writers of children's historical fiction. Penny Speller, Julie Sullivan and Julia Newsome. Julie and I also visited the exhibition Medieval Women in Their Own Words. Amazing exhibits. Thoroughly recommend. Now I have new books to read!

Wonderful Iraqi brunch with amazing artist, cook and writer, @lindadangoorcreativeliving and husband Frank. The food was amazing. Salad with amba (mango pickle) Reminded me of my mother in law. Silan with tahini, foul and egg and so much more.

It looks like Bluesky is winning in my books. So much interaction. Reminds me of the olden days on Twitter. Threads is nowhere by comparison. So you're stuck with me folks! I'm reading, liking, reposting, following and posting. That's more like it!!

Driving back from Edgware and seeing family. Dark before five and a full moon in the sky the whole way. A Badger moon tonight apparently. It would look amazing off Hayling beach.

There seems to be a sudden rise in people leaving X and coming over here. So will this or Threads be the new platform for writers and anyone involved with books?
