Hey all, I just wanted to say that the best way to stay in touch with me is on Discord or Facebook Messenger.

If you'd like my username for either, drop me a reply or a DM ๐Ÿ’œ

Milo is good at recognising when he gets too warm and moves out of the sun.

George, on the other hand.... makes himself sick when he overheats ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

There is zero point in trying a cold blanket with him because as you've seen, cats are cats.

Hi everyone,

I posted an update on my blog about #repDISND, the disabled and neurodivergent representation event that I've run for the past few years.

Due to RL and health issues, I am taking a quieter approach to the event this year; posting content on my blog, but less outreach.

More details โฌ‡๏ธ

Just a tip to authors: contacting reviewers to demand to know when they're reopening review slots (especially if you missed them opening multiple times!) will just get you on the 'go to hell' list.

I'm so behind on reviews and the 2025 disabled/neurodivergent books list. I have a nasty sinus infection and of course, my GP surgery has suddenly stopped doing telephone appointments. I tried to get to a morning appointment and failed, and my hEDS has flared resulting in an injured arm.

It's Valentine's Day, so have some cards from the Cruel Gods world where, according to a certain domain, it's a sin not to sin!

Being in hospital for almost two weeks, and needing a third week to recover (I was starved and had to build back up).

The only time I got detention was for getting a low mark in German because the teacher couldn't control the class.

I've created a starter pack of #neurodivergent, #disability & #MentalHealth writers & authors. (The latter two didn't fit in the title)

There are loads I should add, so let me know who should be included below.

Please support underrepresented writers!
