Argh! Website is currently down as I try to figure out this DNS stuff for transferring my domain to my new one. Normal service hopefully resumed soon.

I just wanna be writing this booook!

So, I thought ๐Ÿค” I'd have a go at a book ๐Ÿ“š trailer and after a lot of work ๐Ÿ˜ฐ I came up with one. I'm rather pleased with it. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฅ‚

Yep! I was constantly going, 'ooh, it's her!' Oh, it's HIM!' (and there was no one else watching with me! ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Watched the first 3 episodes of #Bookish last night, but a 6.15 alarm for this morning meant I had to stop there. Been waiting for this for ages, and I'm LOVING IT!

I think Wimbledon has done me another favour. Realised I had 2 weeks' worth of #Corrie to catch up on; recognised the resultant feeling as dismay rather than pleasant anticipation; hey presto: CURED! Phew, that's a weight off - no more rage-watching! I'll carry on with the classics though :)

What on earth's the point of Sky TV putting an ad for the programme I'm watching, IN the ad break for the programme I'm watching? All it did was fool me into prematurely stopping fast-forwarding past the... ah! Well played, Sky ๐Ÿ˜‚

Love it when my day off (the day job) is a wet and windy one - particularly when I'm on the home stretch of a novel, and no other obligations. Just me, copious amounts of coffee, and a Devon moorland community about to change forever. *rubs hands* #booksky

Adding my thanks to Shelley's. A brilliantly organised tour, and thoughtful, insightful, and wildly generous (!) reviews for the first book in our now-complete, co-authored series. Thank you all!

Currently reading my way through @valmcdermid.bsky.social brilliant Tony Hill/Carol Jordan books. I mean, obviously there's murder and so on, and some really nasty ones at that, but I've just hit a patch SO dark, I began to wonder if I'd accidentally picked up a recent #Corrie script instead! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

Finished Code of Silence last night - I LOVED it. That ending was perfect; that brilliant final look, straight to camera: 'you knew this was coming; stay tuned!'
Epic work from Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Faintly amusing to see Charlotte Ritchie calling someone else Alison.
And Andrew Buchan, just because.

Bugged by yesterday's #Corrie - that van didn't look new-fangled enough to be able to play music after PC Tinks had taken the keys out. Also can't believe he didn't persist in trying to get in to make sure Lou was okay, instead of charging off after Mick and personal glory. Bad copper, Craigie!

Had this lovely, heart-warming dream that David Jason was narrating a fave character in an #audiobook of mine - we had a lovely chat, and I couldn't wait to share the photos I took. Only 2 problems:
1. all my audiobooks are single-narrator, and
2. the book exists, but character doesn't.
Dammit!

Good to know: my current MC's surname is Drake, and she only lives in Yelverton because it's conveniently on the outskirts of town, on the moors. Just found this little online report on local names:

Tonight's winning dialogue on #Corrie, making up for all the misery and ludicrous storylines:

Roy: can you vouch for the sweetness of your plums?
Aadi: No, not really. They are very firm though...

How those two kept straight faces I will NEVER know! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Finished I, Jack Wright, the other night... Chris Lang, what are you doing to me?! I was wondering how it would all be wrapped up in the last 10 minutes, but I trusted you! ๐Ÿ˜„
Epic stuff, as always, and now keeping a sharp eye out for more!

It's out there - this is one bubble you can't un-blow, one sneeze you can't take back, and one set of ideas that will become the definitive. Shelley's mind is a phenomenon; her story will change the way you think about what you've always believed.
