The Wildwood Duology by @julietmarillier.bsky.social is a stunningly beautiful & engaging reimagining of the "Twelve Dancing Princesses" fairytale. There are so many twists & turns in its intricately woven plot you won't be able to put it down from start to finish, & the writing is gorgeous. 5/5⭐

I think I got a kind of squee when I received a signed and personalised copy of one of YOUR books saying you loved MY books - no problem with that kind of repetition!

Excellent! I'm on the very last chapters of my book and the words are not exactly gushing out. Maybe I don't want to say goodbye to these characters.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Exactly my thoughts at the moment. But tricky as a writer, since so many use Instagram, in particular, as a way of interacting with readers.

Still undecided but would love to see you if there's an opportunity.

I'm glad you're going ahead with this and wish I could be there. I might possibly be at World Fantasy (in Brighton) the week before, making getting to Perth, Scotland from Perth, Western Australia, slightly more likely. But things are too uncertain at present for me to sign up.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

It is stressful. Yes spoiled to bits, but it's hard when he needs to eat and just won't. I think he's showing signs of dementia as well as everything else, poor old boy.

It's an ongoing balancing act. Waiting for some test results. He's meant to be on a special diet but he doesn't believe it's actually food.

Spare some good wishes for Rocky, who is dealing with complicated health issues including high blood pressure and kidney disease. He'll starve rather than touch the required special diet. A difficult time. He's spending a lot of time sleeping in this favourite spot on the couch.
