You ever go to a book shop, pick up
a book and release it’s stuck in your hand, you must buy it and plus you have a new fave author? That’s ‘frontier’ and Grace Curtis. I love her cosy characters, the stakes, the romance. #Bookvember #Booksky

I can never get faces at angles right but I wanted to emphasise Strope’s large nose. Trying to go for weary and disheveled for today’s #Novmemeber

All news is good news. Space pilot Gloria and her telepathic crash investigator wife, Isley, are asked to figure out why and how some ducks crashed on the wrong planet. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommmunity

#Bookvember I love this book and many others by Antonia Fraser because it gave so many examples of fascinating women through history and made me want to seek out more examples. How being a strong, successful female ruler was more than being a Boudicca and what they overcame. #booksky

From 'First to Fall', Grio is slowly healing but the results are still rather grim. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

We’ve got a couple of Quentin Blake prints hung up in the kitchen. Always makes me smile.

Bit of a stretch but using ‘last’ for today’s #wipsnips I’ve started another story about my space pilot and her telepathic wife. Gloria has an old crew mate ask for Isley’s help. #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

For #Bookvember this is the book that got me into mythology. I loved the pictures, especially this one of Artemis. This copy was from my local library and I got it out so much I ended up buying it for about 25p. I’ve spent way more getting it rebound or on tape to keep it in place! #booksky

My mum had a dark sense of humour and would read me tales from Stuwwelpeter before bed, especially the one about the boy who sucks his thumb and the great tall tailor rushes in and cuts of the kid’s thumbs. That’s pretty much the only poetry I remember from my childhood! #bookvember #booksky

After finding two slugs in my dining room this morning, this #wipsnips seemed rather apt. The original, now archived version, of Oula’s first impressions of Cailo. #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

I wanted a nice ending and what's nicer than going home and being reunited with old friends? #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#Bookvember my mum gave me her copies of Narnia (my aunt had LWW) and I devoured them. Dawn Treader was my favourite, especially the part where Eustace becomes a dragon. Sure that sparked my love of characters who shape shift. #booksky #writesky

#Bookvember that a princess could be the hero, dragons and witches were cosy and wizards could be evil. Oh, and you didn’t need to be rescued by a handsome prince. I got this copy of ‘Dragonsbane’ when I was 9 and it’s a book I’ll always keep. #booksky #WriteSky #writingcommunity

Here’s a rather gruesome excerpt about what remains of Grio after being partially eaten by monsters. #writesky #writingprompts #writingcommunity #wipsnips

We do have grey days as well. But then, it wouldn’t be so green if we didn’t have the rain!

Gone through about 8 works featuring wizards, goblins, gods and familiars and not a single ‘spell’ so here is magic and here is ‘not-a-wizard’ Cailo being told he’ll barely have to use magic. #writesky #writingcommunity #wipsnips #writingprompts
