A little...quiet, I guess. It's not as interactive as Twitter/X. Or maybe I haven't figured out how to make it work for me! Nice to meet you here @calledterry.bsky.social

Great shout out to a @galleybeggars.bsky.social author today - Paul Ewen. According to the fabulously funny Nina Stibbe, he's the funniest. A cinema-full immediately googled him. A Derby BookFest event.
