10.11.2025 18:12 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0A little while ago I was listening to a Home Office forensic pathologist & she was asked how to commit the perfect crime. She said, "Don't let the body bleed." Last week, Mrs. Simon cuts herself & she said she'd cleaned it up...then kept finding little specks of blood. Point proven I would say...

Today is probably my last nice weather ride before winter begins to bite. Strong ride too.

Got caught out by a reader last week who had read one of my early books and I couldn't remember the details he was referencing. #AuthorConfessional #WritersLife #WritingLife #SimonWood

As it’s #Halloween, Please enjoy my real life ghost story, MY OTHER SISTER. To this day I can’t explain it. Don’t know if I saw a ghost or had a premonition but it happened & still haunts me. simonwood.net/a-halloween-... #horrorstories #ghoststory #simonwood

I know people think AI is the 2nd coming, but I don't see it. I'm seeing so many errors in simple google searches that I have no faith in it. If it can't get simple facts right, then I can't see it getting complex problems right.

A little while ago, I was challenged to come up with my top 25 horror films of the 2000’s, so as Halloween is approaching, here’s my list…which isn’t 25 films long…oh, and yes, there’s honorable mentions too. Enjoy!

I don't know what is going down to explain why I am receiving online ads for disposable hazmat suits! 🤔

So I found this granola bar in the pocket of an old coat. Checked the expiration date and it was only 21yrs passed its expiry. I did try a bite and it seemed okay. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

BAD NEWS: I got news that the publisher of Trouble & Strife has shut down. Not a huge deal. This isn't the first time I've lost a publisher. However, the book is no longer available. I do have a few copies, so if you'd like one, please let me know. simonwood.net/book/trouble... #WritingLife

This is truer than you'll ever know. A book is finished when you can't come to think about it anymore.

Found this old work phone & lamented the simplicity of old phones. I'm not a big #cellphone guy. They aren't important to me. My number is private & I only carry it when I'm on my bike or traveling. Complex devices only complicate things.
