So, I'm reading this book I got for Christmas, 52 Ways to Walk, and today was definitely a walking with dogs day (week 18) (it's good for you). Look at this little fella. Doesn't he make you smile? Be honest. Added an extra spark to my day. #walking #dogs #walkswithdogs

A reminder to please pay your freelancers before popping off for the holidays otherwise Santa won’t visit you and you will be doomed to live in a forever-winter with no Christmas and Mr Tumnus will be turned to stone.

Last month I took the plunge and decided to contribute a tiny amount to Joanna Penn's patreon account. My goodness, is it worth it! Fantastic backlog of stuff to catch up on and regular updates for indie writer. Enjoy your monthly coffee, Jo. #writingcommunity

A Right Cozy Christmas Crime with Wendy H Jones - Author Interview - Chandler's Ford Today Allison Symes talks to Wendy H Jones about the joys of cozy crime anthologies as she launches A Right Cozy Christmas Crime via Scott and Lawson Publishing.

I might 😜have mentioned the anthology I have a cozy story in. Here the talented editor discusses videos she did to promote it. A great read. chandlersfordtoday.co.uk/a-right-cozy... #writerthreads

πŸ₯§πŸšš Some scumbag has stolen a van from Tommy Banks – Michelin-stared chef and one of the good guys.

Crucially, it contains Β£25k of meat pies in the back. He’s made an appeal on Insta for the thieves to at least donate the pies to a food bank to stop them going to waste.

Indie authors, at what point do you stop worrying about rubbish sales and just publish for fun. Asking for a friend... #writingcommunity

No. I start thinking about cleaning first. Then usually panic with about 10 days to go and ours is an obvious black spot in a street of loveliness.

5 days ago I was here. Just. Having spent the previous night on an airport floor (the snow had to fall sometime).

Certain German Christmas markets spoil the English ones for a person.

I'm mostly a romance writer, so why does my Kindle library look like this? Discuss #writingcommunity #cozycrime #romancelandia
