Flint wall topped with red brick coping and with a brick panel insert. Above the wall are trees and blue sky.

Never say never to a brick wall photo. Pic 30 in my sporadic brick wall series, because I saw an interesting brick and flint wall combo. #brickinthewall #photography

Reposting, because Royston Book Fair is next month. The webpage provides links to all participating authors, including me. Over the next month and a bit, my aim is to highlight all of them. #Royston #booksky #writers #Hertfordshire

Worth a read (it's short but strong).

This was good. Highly recommended if you are a poet and especially if you are female!

I listened - it was good. Thank you.

My next public, poetry reading - I'm the guest reader at poetry night at the Olmo Lounge, #Huntingdon alongside a variety of local readers. The event takes place on Tuesday, 26th August. People gather from 6.30pm and readings start at 6.45pm. It's free. Expect lively, background, restaurant noise.

Two ornamented brick chimneys behind a lower level brick parapet. Green leaves in the bottom right hand corner of the photo, a cloudy blue sky behind the brickwork.

Pic 29 and possibly the last photo in my sporadic brick wall series, unless I see any more really interesting walls - multiple small walls make a pair of chimneys #brickinthewall #photography

Thank you!

I was shortlisted for the Bridport poetry prize in 2017 and long listed in 2022.

Worth checking out if you are in on around Cambridge.

An interesting take on published nature writing.

Reposting because I apparently can't spell #Hitchin

A few pics from last night's rather lovely Once Upon a #Htichin. I have other pics but I seem to be limited to four.

Had a great fun time reading at #Hitchin Library last night alongside a host of great local authors…
40 folks bought tickets, sold 21 books and drank lots of bubbly!?

Some I love. Some I'm not so sure about.

Sympathies, but is the Dettol because of your hangover or the poorly dog?

Tomorrow is now today, this evening, from 6.30pm at Hitchin Library #hitchin #hertfordshire

Poetry, short stories and prose at Hitchin Festival - I'll be reading a naughty (think adult humour) little fairy story and some magical poems

Poster for Once Upon a Hitchin - a night of live poetry and prose. Cream background. Blue-grey text and line drawing of an open book, a quill pen and a church. Orange swirls and a star rise from the pages of the book

Tomorrow, Once Upon A Hitchin - Hitchin Library from 18.30. Readers are @cleric20.bsky.social @chrismlburleigh.bsky.social @marthadunlop.bsky.social @nicwilson.bsky.social Diana Wilkinson & me
Last few tickets from www.ticketsource.co.uk/hitchinfesti... includes free drink #Hitchin #Hertfordshire

I'm a poet and novelist with nine sole-authored books to my name. Tomorrow, as part of Hitichin Festival, a group of Society of Authors writers, including me, will be giving live readings at Hitchin Library from 6.30pm. A few tickets are still available

You see, that's why you need to buy marketing services... 😉

I'm reading at Hitchin festival on Thursday evening, alongside a fabulous line up of authors. Come along and hear me read from The Starfolk Arcana, book 1 of my Starfolk Trilogy, alongside JS Watts, @mattadcock.bsky.social and more. Tickets here:
www.ticketsource.co.uk/hitchinfesti...

I'm getting them too, plus famous "authors" on BlueSky who want to sell me marketing services or know of someone who can.

This definitely hits the nail on the head...

A red brick wall with grey coping along the top. In front of it is a raised flower bed held in by wooden sleepers. The bed is full of echinacea, orange and yellow marigolds and red cornflowers. A black iron trellis is in the middle of the bed, attached to the wall
