The linen under her palms was soft & clean. A delicious outdoors scent still clung. If she closed her eyes & took a breath, she could pretend she was in the graveyard out back, but that wasnβt the point of this exercise. No. Tonight, she would catch the thieving creature under her bed.

My mind keeps returning to my MG story about an undiagnosed dyslexic girl. I needed a spark to reopen it & relook at the edits. Then I saw the @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social competition & threw my hat in.

The words 'Lily Lawson brings us a beautiful collection of poems that are witty, inspiring, and empathetic to what it means to be human .... There are so many poems that resonate with a feeling which I
previously had no words for .... It's poetry that describes universal human experiences, so there's something for everyone.'
With the ebook and paperback of My Father's Daughter on a background of the image of the cover.

Most of the Circleβs rules read like instructions for keeping a Gremlin alive: curfews, nighttime-only activities & a protein-rich diet. However, I'm reassured that they donβt actually endorse keeping gremlins alive, which is why the airholes are located at the back of my bedside cabinet. #WriteCBC

A gold number carved on a black business card Iβd paid too much to acquire resulted in an inaptly cheerful door knock. Through the peephole, the suited man stands like a reflection in a spoon, chin down. His gaze flicks up as if he knows Iβm spying & a wry smirk graces his pretty bow lips. #WriteCBC
