My regular reminder that when a company says they don't have a budget, they mean they don't have a budget FOR YOU.

They most certainly will be paying for other people and services.

I don't know how I know this but seeing this picture reminded me that tennis balls have a taste.

Picture of a wedding dress with a bloody handprint on the skirt. Text reads@ "Every bride has secrets. But hers might just kill you... Are you ready to uncover The Bride's Secret? Five days to go!"

Five days to go until The Bride's Secret hits shelves and Kindles on June 4th! Have you pre-ordered your copy? Get yours here: geni.us/B0DZZ3GX49au...

🚨Calling all writers !🚨
Writing is hard and lonely and scary! And though there are lots of great editorial services something that’s missing is the ability just to chat things through with someone. Plotting issues, publishing advice, how to start writing a book 1/2

It's publication day for #TheWomanNextDoor & the amazing @janicehallett.bsky.social said 'dark, menacing and beautifully written, with a strong background in the psychology of behaviour, this is an evocative tale of childhood bullying and its consequences.' I'm blown away! @emblabooks.bsky.social

Somehow I've managed to arrange my life so that my car insurance, home insurance and road tax all need to be arranged and paid at the same time. It's an admin nightmare but at least it all gets done at once, I suppose?

haha OK, you do win. Well done!

#TeamEllie: I think I'd prefer the chips 😂

The covers process... Do judge a book by its cover...everyone else does!

If you're an author, or an aspiring author, or interested in how the book business works, I really encourage you to read the new substack by @phoebeannmorgan.bsky.social
It's SO interesting & has taught me lots, especially today's post on covers.

A hand-painted placard saying Get The Zuck Off Our Books

Some great railway staff asked about my placard and wished us luck! #DoTheWriteThing @societyofauthors.bsky.social

Amazing! Thank you <3

😭 do you have a recipe, please? I will resurrect it in my house and keep the amazingness going

My neighbour practices bagpipes in his garden every time the sun comes out and I wish to set things on fire.

that looks amazing 😍

My books were stolen by Meta to feed the AI. Meta must #dothewritething and compensate those who its stolen from.

‘Meta has stolen books’: authors to protest in London against AI trained using ‘shadow library’

Screenshot of a book review: From the moment I picked this book up, I was hooked. I had a hard time putting it down. I even stayed up late reading and I thought I had the twist figured out but the author surprised me multiple times. I’d highly recommend this book to anybody who loves thriller books especially ones that have twists that make you scream , “WHAT?!” The story was a real good one, you didn’t know what was happening due to the twists making it so fast- paced I loved it! I just LOVE books when they make you think, and then you change your mind on the characters my favourite one was Maeve originally then it switched again! The ending was one word: WOW! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me!

The first review for The Bride's Secret is up on @netgalley.bsky.social and it's a five-star so I'm delighted 😀.

Does it sound like your kind of book? Pre-order here: geni.us/B0DZZ3GX49au...

I'm listening to the audiobook of The Lost Passenger by
@franquinn.bsky.social and it's brilliant! A wonderful historical fiction novel about a woman who survives the sinking of the Titanic and grasps an opportunity to start a new life. Highly recommended! Fantastic narrators too.

Want some book recommendations? I'm in @scottishfield.bsky.social magazine today answering all their questions about books I've loved, authors who've inspired me, and more!

YouTube video by The Darkness The Darkness - I Hate Myself (Visualiser)

The new from The Darkness is huge fun — I Hate Myself sounds like a mashup of Status Quo, Mika, Queen, and Chuck Berry. And it’s a foot stomper! youtu.be/v4I7WBWSs2I?...

What things do you do so regularly that they're automatic, but to others they might seem strange?

Mine are:
1) I always "cheers" my first sip of an alcoholic drink.
2) I try to get a little bit of everything onto my fork so each mouthful contains my whole plate

I loved this one! It made me cry, which always makes me love a book

Yay! Happy Hammock day! I have one, too, and I love it so much. Although I suspect it gets less use up here in Scotland than down where you are 😂
