Do you know someone who would love a YA adult fantasy with a gothic twist for Christmas? www.amazon.co.uk/Transference...
I've just reviewed it on Amazon. ππ
Such a beautiful light this morning! Winter can be dazzling when it is not raining.
I've finally taken a photo worthy of @msjulesb.bsky.social 's team! π€£

It's a long story but...we live next to river and we're regularly visited by a swan and a goose pairing. The swan was calm and friendly, the goose cackled angrily at me every time it saw me. Except when a dog chased them. I stepped into the (shallow) river to block the dog and goose...

Even worse when they send it to the wrong author. I haven't written a book on Rajneeshpuram (written by Russell King).

A cold, sunny autumn morning here. Just how I like it! π
Have a great week in amongst the trees. π³
I can't get over the fact that you have to pay more to chat with Satan.
Mind you, it would be good to find if he is a Terry Pratchetty type Satan who just hits you with having to read health and safety manuals or wade through endless red tape, or if he is proper scary (and fun?).
We have continued to have 'stocking presents' - funny little presents to be opened when you wake up - for this very reason!

Erm, how old is too old?
Asking for a (very childish) friend.
For about 8 years the dustpan and brush in our house has been hung on a hook in a cupboard. It's difficult to put it on the hook, even harder to get it off.
Today I changed the hook for a sticky-out screw, ridding our house of endless grumbles of "For fuck sake!".
It took less than a minute...
Morning Jules - have fun today!

I have something to crow about!Second draft of book 1 of my new trilogy is done.
Just need to completely rewrite book 2 and update book 3 now!
I am loving incorporating understated back stories for the stars of book 3 in books 1 and 2.

πTrust me, it's official! Although I haven't yet been to all the countries in Europe.
I may be biased though as I have been declared to be an honary German - albeit at the end of a very long evening at d'Wiesn...
Absolutely! The kindest, yet bluntest, people in Europe. π
