Had a fantastic time interviewing with Ben Linzey for his podcast Voices from the Void. I was joined by my illustrator Sara Smith for our first ever public chat about our upcoming folk horror collection which launches via Atomic Bohemian on February 27th, 2026!

Had a fantastic day teaching two sold out classes in The Beau Book Nook today for writers just starting their creative writing journey. Do you remember your first steps?

It was an amazing day

You know the #Llanfairfechan Library Scribblers were in the mood for some serious creating by the amount of snacks on the table. #writers

Magpie in the snow. Actually, magpie (and friends) eating sunflower seed hearts, peanuts, meal worms, suet pellets, and other seeds off the bird wall. It's tough for feathered friends to find food in the deep snow so help out if you can.

Shine on Wolf moon 2026!

Snow in the moonlight. Taking a moment to slow down and look around.

Happy New Year!

Well it is official The Beau Book Nook class in Beaumaris is officially sold out! If you want to go on the waiting list, you can contact the venue or drop me a message. Thanks Rhiannon Wyn Thompson-Owen for your amazing advertising and to my brilliant friends who shared our post!

All of your creative and building practices feed into one another. Your drawing is better because you utilize your imagination in so many great ways. You don't need to feel bad. I am an author but I also paint, sketch, garden, and make jewelry.

Wassail!

It's beginning to look a lot like...my Christmas ornaments are going to have a rough holiday 🤣

Feeling the quiet joy of Yule.

One of my Christmas gifts is particularly cute this year. #chriatmascats

Due to an AI chat bot being employed by The Queens Hotel in Chester, I officially don't have a restaurant reservation. Now I'm running feral in Chester and I believe my earlier research subject Cierce will approve.
Fyi- Grosvenor Museum did not disappoint. #witches The Spectre is brilliant.

Met a wonderful artist named Kristine today at Fron Goch, Caernarfon. She grows her own flowers and transforms them into beautiful dried flower wreaths, scented wax melts, and other gorgeous things. My photo does not do this arrangement justice. #fairycore #NorthWales

Ageing is so interesting. Today my hairdresser added a boost of brown to my red dye because my white hair might turn pink. Then all of a sudden I was like, go ahead, I'm not afraid of pink.

Try nonfiction flash fiction. It is super helpful to recreate real worlds when you're creating sci fi new worlds. Do you remember the moment you understood what Outer Space was?

How to make an author's heart happy? Dress as one of the characters from her book on Halloween!
My cousin dressed as Phoebe from my book Samhain Awakening and I couldn't be more excited 😆!

Pumpkins complete! Glowing from the conservatory. Seeds separated and ready for baking. Salt, pepper, and chili this year.
Go on. Show me your pumpkins.

Sometimes the only thing that really sparks my creativity is a stroll through the forest photographing whatever catches my eye...most of the time, it's mushrooms.

Very pleased to announce that my talk tomorrow at Llandudno Museum is officially sold out! I'm so grateful for people who decided to buy tickets, share my advertising, and support me and this event.
Looking forward to taking my audience through the barriers from seance to science! #spooky #museum

Celebrating the launch of the novel Ambergris by Briony Collins here at Blue sky Cafe, Bangor.

Brilliant, thoughtful, and deeply unsettling.

That's a fab sales pitch. My next book could use it

Aug 1st 2023, I launched my 1st novel, Yule Moon, at The Rock Shop in Paducah, KY, USA and at Y Segontiwm, Caernarfon, UK. Today I sold my last author copy of Beltane Ash(Book 3) at the Anglesey Writing Festival. All that's left of my original launch swag are 19 postcards. What shall I do with them?

As a long time feline supervisor, he really knows how to get what he wants from me ❤️

Swt doing his best to keep me from working too hard. This method is called a snoozel handcuff. You can't move or you'll wake the cat!
