An excellent start to the afternoon! A perfect lunchtime read!🫖☕️📰🗞️

Crime Club — Lucy Andrew

My Sublimely Sensational September Crime Club newsletter went out this morning. Check your inboxes to see what I've been up to, or sign up to receive the September newsletter now! www.lucyandrew.com/crime-club

Never mind my #Decade goal, now I’m going to have to make it as a writer to get on House of Games! I want that @richardosman1.bsky.social luggage! 🧳 👓

In our ‘not a cult’ world that us, I believe, know as ‘Where the heck is that can of tuna’ expression!’ Fishy! 🍣 Apparently that is supposed to be tuna?! ⬆️

I’m ready for my ‘Murder Most Austen talk at @brlsi.bsky.social today at 12.30pm at the #janeaustenfestival. Tickets still available on the door or here for the livestream: janeausten.co.uk/pages/jane-a...

It leaves a terrible stain on the China! 🫖☕️

This morning I enjoyed author @lucyvandrew.bsky.social first newsletter with a nice cup of tea.📰 Fortunately, it was not like the cup of tea served up in her upcoming novel and it was served with milk rather than poison! ☕️🫖☠️

Sorry to miss the #Decade folk last Friday. Ironically, I was pursuing a Decade goal but I was sorry to miss everyone! Thank you to all the kind folk who got me into the previous meeting as I’m a fool with tech! Thank you also to our great leader (not a cult) who agreed to help with my Decade goal!📝

This is so tricky! 🤔I long for the simple days of tuna! 🐟

Great to meet you! I am so glad you posted this, I was trying to remember the name of the Austen writing event you mentioned!

The first rule of @liarsleague.bsky.social is... you talk about Liars League.

Was at a fab "cosy crime" event today at Shrewsbury Library with 3 Austen influenced readings! Tagging them in!

@hayfestival.bsky.social can you tell me what time the festival site opens tomorrow?

I'm the guy who designed Windows 11. My concept was 'All the same buttons, slightly different places'. My other job is changing where things are in supermarkets.

It’s the #bookbirthday for our UK paperback! And it looks like someone already found one! 😍 We’re proud of this book and we hope you love it!! ❤️

I will keep thinking but I don’t want to milk it!

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” (Quote from Jane Austen's Persuasion)
