Writing the third in this gothic trilogy now. Spurred on by reviews of the first. It's quite a process as my memory is not what it was. Continuity errors are a very unique kind of writer's horror!

That moment in editing when you forget what you've written and suddenly reach the punchline. 😂😂😂 Yes, yes, laughing at my own jokes. This one is particularly funny.

Here's a great chance to dip into the popular Ruth Finlay mysteries. - With few clues and many culprits, their investigations seem to be going nowhere – until a shocking discovery turns the whole case on its head.

Time to show off again! Well...😁😍😁 I'm pleased as punch that Murder in Myrtle Bay hits the spot with readers and critics alike. Fancy escaping to a cool part of southern Australia where Ruth and her neighbour Doris Cleaver attempt to solve a case? #Australia #fiction #bestseller

I am wondering about AI versus human creativity. Is it the case that what emerges from inside of us is limited to whatever we have absorbed in our lifetime?
Fuerteventura, 1901. FACING AFRICA depicts the struggle for change and autonomy during catastrophic times.

What is book publishing turning into? When AI isn't used to replace creators but to profit hugely out them. I did the maths, and my jaw fell open. Integrity, anyone? isobelblackthorn.com/2024/11/26/t...

Bluesky has given me a PR jolt. I've been tinkering with my author bio on my website.
They're so hard to get sitting right.
On the one hand, it's important not to sell yourself short, on the other, you don't want to appear up your own ass.

Warm thanks to all following me. Building quite a community here. While I busy myself in my cave of a room working on edits, may the sun shine on your weekend. 😊
16.11.2024 09:39 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0When I saw this re RK, I thought it stands to reason that he would get that position. I guess he'll amp up health vulnerability, patent a new brand of snake oil, and further amplify the f-right. It's a putrid state of affairs.

The more I write, the harder it is to get my books into some kind of order. Squeezing another into the bottom row soon, and one in the top. Still, in these mad times when humanity seems to be losing the plot, I have no trouble creating new ones. 😂 Best way to live. Stay creative!

After nearly 18 months, I decided to put my Long Covid story on my website. Far too many people, including doctors, believe sufferers are making a big deal about nothing, as though we are collectively having a fit of the vapours. We are not. isobelblackthorn.com/2024/11/13/m...
