The Curae Prize A writing prize - just for writers who are also carers

Please share and share again - the demise of twitter definitely stops us getting the word out more. The second #curae literary prize - a special literary award for unpaid carers - has just opened for a second time. thecuraeprize.uk You’ve got until 1/03 to enter!

Holidays are over... office tidied (somewhat). Did two critiques for my group and wrote just shy of 700 words on my WIP. Not bad for the first post-Christmas work day. How is everyone else doing?

INDIANA READERS AND FRIENDS. In just over two weeks I am headed your way! Spread the word!

Oh... how I wish I lived close enough to visit!

1/2 We know that many of you don’t get to visit us as often as you—or we!—would like, so we thought we’d let you know about some of the recent changes at the bookstore. The most dramatic is probably our new verrière (or glass roof 😉) complete with its own “Romeo and Juliet” balcony. #booksky 💙📚

OK, let's see if this works...

Okay back reading this now with @whatmichaelareads.bsky.social 🖤

Another glimpse into the miniature bookstore

Spent a lot of time today looking for this photo of the time I art-directed a photoshoot of Jim Davis of Garfield fame for Ball State University and was the stand-in until Jim arrived. Why? Because how freaking cute was I?

Absolutely.

DMs are for friends who know each other to talk in private;
Or for when you need to discuss something privately with a new friend.
That is all.
If you slide into my DMs inappropriately, like straight after I follow you back, without an invite, expect an instant unfollow at least!

I second this casting choice!

Aaron Eckhart has been in a string of CIA agent roles. I nominate him to play Shane Collins in the adaptation of I.S. Berry's THE PEACOCK AND THE SPARROW.
