😢 EMOTIONAL!

We just finished and all I can say is I love this show for introducing me to Delenn but it was DEPRESSING AF especially in the current political climate.

Glad to hear that you’re feeling better!

5 did Lennier DIRTY and I am mad about it. That is all.

As with many gaming related things my husband does I have *no idea* what this is about but I’m sure as heck going to support and repost

An excellent word!

Sadly it’s the only place that offers that option to indie authors 🥲

To take her place as Librarian of the Quartz Falls Library, she must learn to wield magic, trust her heart, and believe that even ordinary lives can hold extraordinary stories.

When an oversized, locked tome appears on the doorstep of the bookshop where Esme works, it sets off a chain of impossible events.
With the shop’s sudden closure and her quiet life unravelling, Esme is drawn into a world of magic, wonder, and secrets.

At thirty-five, Esme thought her story was already written—until a mysterious book invited her into another world.

My debut cosy fantasy novel The Lunar Quartz Library is out today!

Read on for all the details 👇👇👇

It’s set in America but it’s clearly Canadian if that helps? 😅 It’s on Netflix.

The Good Witch series is very gentle small town cosy magic. It’s made by Hallmark so that probably tells you all you need to know!

If you see this, post 4 female characters you love.

Did a guided meditation to meet the spirit of my business (because I am woo woo) and turns out it’s Lennier from Babylon 5.

I do have a penchant for old Land Rover defenders though.

A hand holds up a pink paperback book with the title the lunar Quartz library written in large serif font.

The spine of the pink paperback book with a small crystal outline with the number 1 inside indicating this is the first book in a series.

The side of the book positioned to show the thickness of the book. It is chonky.

The proof copy is here and she is CHONKY. Also- I have decided to number my books because no one seems to be doing that anymore and it bugs me.

Disclaimer: John is a smooch affiliate for my book and will earn smooches every time he shares it.

Ssshhh he’s not quite discovered those things yet. Bit behind on his milestones.

The year is 2262. The name of the place is Babylon 5. (Because everything is on fire and there is no discernible difference)

Excellent ho’ing there! Thankyou for the birthday wishes- an excellent day was had please see photo with @glempy.bsky.social for proof

@glempy.bsky.social It’s you when I’m calling out those drivers who got their license out of a box of cornflakes 🤣

Little treat, because I am the only coffee drinker in this house.

Babylon 5 is super depressing right now and she is the one character keeping me going 😅

It’s this one, but it’s for bread makers. The website has ones done by hand as well I think? The flour for this recipe is available in Tesco.

John took that photo- I merely embellished it in Canva. It’s my least complicated thumbnail to date, no background remover or shadows. Just basic, like all of us pumpkin spice lovers 🤣
