Oh and The Rasmus did one of my favourite ever songs because of course they did. 😁

Daughter and I wenr to see The Rasmus tonight (who were great, of course) and bumped into Lee Jennings, lead singer of support act The Funeral Portrait, by the merch stand. Photo had to be done. Right after he’d used Emily as an armrest. 😁 #gig #metal

Just Amazon reminding me that books make great Christmas presents :) #booksky #troublemaker @vulpinepress.bsky.social

2025. Had a book published, wrote a couple more books. Might have listened to Fannybaws a little too often. 😁 #spotifywrapped

A #WIP you say? I couldn't possibly comment. Anyway. 6,000 words down, only another 452,675 to go :) #booksky

Things I did in 2025: published a book, wrote books, listened to Revery by Electric Callboy once or twice.😀. #spotifywrapped

This week’s #TOTP stack is going a long way to convincing me that the charts in late 1998 consisted of six songs. 😳

I wrote a couple of chapters of something new this week and now I feel properly proud of myself. #WIP #amwriting

Also tonight I FINALLY got to see #bloodywood, who I missed earlier in the year because they played the day before Troublemaker was published (so I was a little busy!). Worth the wait however 😁

#halestorm ate and left no crumbs (as the young folk say) at the O2 tonight :)

Regrettably when I heard the opening bars of Under Pressure on #TOTP just now I did mutter ‘Ice Ice Baby’ under my breath and now fear I must retreat from public life. 😳😁

Just me, realising that book two edits are now off and running. 😁 #amediting #writerslife

#Electriccallboy, you made the 742 mile round trip to Ally Pally and that bit where we got dumped in the middle of nowhere by that abruptly terminating bus afterwards worth every minute. One of my favourite gigs of the year 😁😁

Everyone Should Know How To Sew: Here's Why Making the case for learning to sew in a time of climate change and moving further from handmade skills.

Daughter seems to write even more than I do these days. Here's her latest piece - for one of the university publications she now writes for - on why sewing is basically great. 😀

#gogolbordello were as incredible as ever. It may however take me several days to recover. 😁 #livemusic

#gogolbordello I am coming for ya. Let’s see if I look this tidy and pristine by the end of the gig 🤣🤣 #livemusic

Daughter this morning: 'Right, I need to lock in, I have loads of uni work to get done, no interruptions.'
One hour later she sends me this: 😂

Battle Beast were incredible at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight (as were support acts Dominum and Majestica). Now wondering if I should get something like this for my work Christmas party 😁 #gig #metal

Props to @almostwittylondon.bsky.social for digging up the first-ever long form feature I ever wrote for Empire - about Pocahontas - plus as an added bonus check out my name in the masthead! But how long before someone unearths my four star review of Multiplicity? 😁 #film #filmwriter

I wholeheartedly approve of this new make-up range I found in Superdrug. And yes, of course I had to buy some. 😁 #troublemaker #booksky @vulpinepress.bsky.social

A fab night this week watching Italy's self-confessed 'dwarf metal' band Wind Rose sing about digging holes and the like. Probably one of my favourite gigs of the year so far, except there's more where that one came from. 🤘 #gig #livemusic #metal #windrose

Another cracking Troublemaker review, this time courtesy of @cocoandmerlinscosybooknook who read it by the pool in Greece! Fancy making it your next holiday read? Click the link in my profile to snap up your copy 😀 #booksky @vulpinepress.bsky.social

Having a night off from editing to go and watch Italian power metal????? Whatever gave you that idea? #metal 😁🤘🏻

Oh just trying to cut this by 20,000 words *falls howling onto laptop* #newbook #amediting #writerslife #booksky

I’m out tomorrow night. I’ll have to try and avoid spoilers 😁

Such a good episode. 😁

Right, nobody talk to me for the next hour. 😁

Since I've been asked quite a few times since the Troublemaker buddy read if I'm writing another book, I give you Exhibit A. And in answer to the question 'but Caroline, when are you going to write something nice?' I say: 'But where would the fun be in that?????' #booksky
