I just wanna be writing this booook!
So, I thought ๐ค I'd have a go at a book ๐ trailer and after a lot of work ๐ฐ I came up with one. I'm rather pleased with it. ๐๐ฅ

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

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 :)

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

I am delighted to share my review today for Children of Sinai by Shelley Clarke and Terri Nixon. This is the first book in a fabulous trilogy, thatโฆ
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! ๐

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

24.05.2025 06:44 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Finished 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!
20.05.2025 14:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Had 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:

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! ๐
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! ๐
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.
