Great advice from Joanne Harris!

There is a sign behind Amy that is a poster of her book, Tomorrow Was Beautiful Once. In the background is a small group of people.

Went to the our local #Norwich #Indiebookfair today, and met up with fellow local author Amy Orrell, who was thete with her debut #sci-fi book, Tomorrow Was Beautiful Once. Of course I bought a copy. Hope to be a trader here next year!

Photo of a book cover, with the title: Assembly of the Severed Head. The book has a dark background, and an orange vase shape in the centre.

Awesome book. The Assembly of the Severed Head is an imagining of how the old #Welsh (Celtic) stories came to be written down by 13th C monks. The stories of the #mabinogion are retold in the story, through the last surviving bard. Great #storytelling. Recommend 😊

Image is a photo of a crowd of people, some are a choir, and further back are guitarists.

YEAH!
At a time when the arts are under massive pressure, my city opens its annual performing arts fest, starting with a free outdoor rock concert. Open to all, no auditions, just come & play or sing. And it didn't disappoint... & the crowd was insane, & supportive.
Rock on!

Hello 😊

Photo is of me, red hair, purple glasses, smiling, no make up, in a Fluffy purple jumper.

Hello to all the new followers who've landed here. Not sure where you've all come from, but welcome!
About me: UK based. Introvert. Messy. Unfiltered. Love writing & reading. Love ancient history, myth, imagination. Don't love early mornings, injustice, intolerance.
So... hi! 👋 😄

Photo of 3 donkeys, small grey on the left, medium brown in the middle & large brown on the right. Look like a cute but uninterested band cover album!

Donkeys!
Because who doesn't need donkeys?!
We have a fantastic animal sanctuary that I & family love to visit. Good for the soul 😊

Cool!

Currently tucking into this absolute gem of a book.
