Yeah, must be the Fucking Mandela effect…

Like Sir Bob, he went on a charm offensive...

We, the mischief makers
Do (somewhat) solemnly swear
To keep the tyrants on their toes
A constant pebble in the shoe
A wedgie that can’t be plucked free
To laugh, dance, and sing
Despite the storm clouds thundering above
#vss365 #mischief

Turn that frown upside down
Turn that #scowl with a trowel
Turn that pout inside-out
Turn that duckface…
Shut up fuckface!

Mischief hatches... mischief catches...
It all comes home to roost later this month with the release of the series finale!

A tribute to the great Tom Lehrer. Since he was good enough to leave all his songs in the public domain (& they're being sadly misattributed on Google as a result, ho #hum...), you can look it up and #hum along to this shameless adaptation of his ditty about the shameless Wernher von Braun. #vss365

OK folks. #Tear it up – you know the tune! #vss365

Going for mass market appeal
was clearly my #hamartia...
Shouldn't I have gone for broke
and made it arty-fartier?
#vss365 (The Borodino Sacrifice, Chasing Mercury Book One, is only 99p/99¢ here: mybook.to/Borodino)

Yes there is #space
on your #kindle
on your bookshelf
for these...

Including yesterday's advance review for THE SAFEHAVEN COMPLEX 😊, the CHASING MERCURY series has been favourably compared to Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, Jack Higgins, Len Deighton, John le Carré...
Influences, yes. Can I claim any as my #progenitor?
Modesty forbids.
#vss365

me too! 👍

There once was a fat orange criminal,
His intellect, at best, subliminal.
Still, a crude limerick
About the old prick
Should tick off today’s prompt word: #liminal

🙏🙏🙏😃

If they can't paralyze with fear
They'll galvanize with hate
Either way, we're puppets
In the hands of the warped
Dancing on the ends of their strings
Unless we go still long enough
To hear the small voice
The profound voice
That teaches the truth
Listen
#vss365 #small

🙏🙏🙏

Could I ask a small favour?
If you’ve read my book(s),
please go to the Amazon product page
and simply leave a rating
(or even a short review – one word even!)
And if you haven’t read them yet…
what’s stopping you, anyway?
You see, to me,
it isn’t a #small favour at all.

Just a quick shower first...

“We all go a little mad sometimes” 😬

Lovely family-run motel
Not quite like any other
Young man at the desk
says would I like to meet his mother

Four was too many, so I settled on a trilogy – and the final part is now available to pre-order! It would mean all the world if you could #spring for it, or at least spread the word... (I'll be contacting ARC readers asap 🙏🙏😃) #FromOneLine #vss365 mybook.to/Safehaven

A touch of airsickness, she had said. Bradley made sure she was still covered by her blanket and fished for his cigarettes.
When his lips drew one from the pack, a hand appeared in the corner of his #vision. A flick, and a blurry flame followed.
The man in Seat 7.

Where I am staying
I need no musty store
To stir my every sense
With #vellichor.
And when I leave, today! -
If not my head
I know my heart will balk
At leaving so, so much unread.
#vss365

😊 That means a lot!

I'm not usually big on spy thrillers, but @paulphillips44.bsky.social novel "The Borodino Sacrifice" is definitely worth the read. Fascinating characters and story. So many twists and turns...you truly don't know how it will end. www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQVR87Y...

Thanks so much!
