Congratulations to member @ErinGreenAuthor on publication for "Retreat to the Lakeside"!
Today’s the day! 🥳📚🍾
Pack your laptop, stationery and a few bottles of plonk! You are cordially invited to Rula’s writing retreat - with the promise of peace and dedicated writing time. At least, that’s the idea … 👩🏻💻

My Darling Boy is 99p on Kindle!
Best friends Alice & Chrissy are torn apart when one of their sons kills the other’s. When the killer is released from jail & then disappears, suspicion falls on Alice, the victim’s mother. But what will it cost Chrissy to find out the truth?
Great review of ‘Tales of the Gothic’, in which my story ‘Her Last Text’ resides…
Thanks @Ed_Hartland glad you enjoyed the collection!

'Ten gothic short stories which feel like they should be best savoured sat by an open fire in a draughty cottage in some remote part of the British Isles, and a whisky close to hand.'

I hate this stuff about childless politicians being unfit to serve.
Doing the right thing isn’t about doing stuff for your own kids.
It’s about doing stuff for other people’s kids. All other kids.

The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter was published 10 years ago. So much has happened in my life since then that it feels like far longer ago. Thanks to @Marc_Gascoigne and @literarywhore for helping to usher it into the world. @angryrobotbooks
So this arrived, the D20 rules for Call of Cthulhu.
Dark, deadly and horrific. The polar opposite of D&D 5e.
And I love it. 😻
Quote of the day:
Mum: “I never noticed before how rabidly Conservative the Telegraph is!”
[Mum just returned from secret Mars mission…]
(I should point out that I have more or less converted Mum to reading @guardian (“so interesting!) from having been a Daily Mail reader for years.
She stopped the Mail after a particularly poisonous Peter Hitchens rant.)

Hard agree with this. Give me solo mode every time.

Last night’s @leicwritersclub meet set me thinking about the POV of exposition.
I’d *never* considered it before.
Writing is an obstacle course, but oh, the learning!

Reflecting on recent responses to a couple of my dystopian stories (lacking hope, apparently) and a few perplexing submission calls, I’m reminded of this astounding review of ‘1984’.

There's a fountain in Budapest that looks like a book: every few seconds a sheet of water blasts forth from the book's spine, creating the illusion that an invisible force is turning the pages of this marble tome.

Subtle I am not. Lovely day out at @NewarkBookFest today chatting about and signing copies of Safe Hands and meeting lots of lovely book people. #books #reading #WritingCommunity
Always a good day when a book featuring one of your stories arrives…
