Hello #BookTwitter. Tonight I joined Bluesky - as @junobaker.bsky.social - and started looking for people, but oh there are so many of you there!
(And some not!)
I'd love to connect with you there to talk about #books #History #HistoricalFiction and other lovely stuff.

A peaceful start to what will be a hectic week, looking across the Tweed towards the curving expanse of Spittal beach and beyond, to the golden light falling upon the castle mounds at Bamburgh and Lindisfarne.

I'm really happy to be unblocked again and able to help spread the word about this event honouring those of both sides who fought in the battles and sieges of Worcester in the civil wars.
If you're in the area it'll be well worth attending—please share some pics here if you do!

#OnThisDay 30 August 1652 Sir Edward Massey escaped from the Tower of London by climbing up a chimney. Massey had been a Parliamentarian during the First Civil War, but switched sides after Charles I's execution and was captured after the Battle of Worcester. #17thCentury #OTD

Made it to Diane at Wave of Nostalgia bookshop in Haworth and we're both very excited. The burst of sunshine and energy in this beautiful place is quite a tonic for my tired head. I'm going to miss this tour so much...

#OnThisDay in 1797, Mary Shelley was born. She wrote 'Frankenstein', a landmark work of #ScienceFiction, at just 19. Here you can see the drafts from her notebooks, complete with corrections and amendments. You can almost feel her energy changing as her handwriting shifts.
