I love that rare thing when a book leads you on a journey of discovery.πŸ’™
I urge you to check out both the book and @pollypaulusma.bsky.social version of the ballad The Maid & The Palmer.
@druidcat.bsky.social and @stephellis.bsky.social, I believe both are right up your street!

Calling UK readers!
Amazon is playing tricks, and the paperback edition The House at the End of Lacelean Street is down to Β£3.01.
Very strange, and no idea how long it'll last, so why not check out the reviews?

I'm travelling to see my old dad, but before I go I'd like to wish @beverleylee.bsky.social a happy pub day for this beauty.
I've already had the pleasure of reading it, and I loved it!

Cool new shop opened this week in our little corner of #Wales.
Total #D&D fans, and the owner is also an indie writer.
They've agreed to stock my books, so that's wonderful.πŸ˜€
