If you're yearning for a bit of escapism, the kind of story that will lead you on a fantastical journey throughout Europe, then Death of a Clown will provide just that. Link: mybook.to/DeathofaClown #summerread #BookLovers #booksky

My concentration hasn't been the best of late, but I'm pleased to say my current read is holding my attention and then some. Loving it! #booksky

My neighbour just popped by with a gift of home grown peonies for me. No reason, just a kind gesture, and very much appreciated.🙏❤️

I've just lined up tomorrow's @thisishorror.bsky.social news but #ICYMI, here are last week's new/forthcoming horrors: www.thisishorror.co.uk/news-round-u... Women of the Weird West Ed. @kcgrifant.bsky.social - out now @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social ... 1/?

Needed some respite, so spent a few hours sitting by the river with a picnic and a game of Farkle.🥰

Those who know me will understand why a story acceptance for an anthology to support people with visual impairment makes me very happy.😍 Coming October 2026! #charity #anthology #worldblindunion

One can't help but be swept away by @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social prose and unsettling storytelling. I never quite felt firm on my feet in this novel, rather that I was floating in a dreamlike state through the pages. A superb ghost story and mystery. Highly recommended atmospheric tale. #booksky

Next up ✨️ #booksky @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social

I know, I know... I'm always sitting in graveyards! 🪦 Surely I have a good excuse this time since the title includes the word 'Buried.' 😄

My current read is one of those rare occasions where I've already watched the movie. #booksky

This! As EiC of @apexmag.bsky.social, I will never run your story through an AI detector. First, it isn't right to do this without an author's knowledge. Second, I won't feed the machine.

Just clicked 'send' on an 'invite' submission because if I tweak it any more I swear it will punch me in the face.😅 #writerslife

The dolls, yay or nay? I experience a weird gut instinct when I see dolls like this, as though I owned one in a past life. Honest truth.😄

My contribution, The Carbon Giant, tells of growing up in a coal mining town in South Wales and highlights the perspective of the land itself. Just one of many pieces on the theme of 'Renewal' in the latest #litmag from @thesepagessing.bsky.social. #welshwriters #poetry #fiction

Such glorious weather here in Wales that even Treebeard is off to take a dip in the river.😄

I’m thrilled to announce that my latest book will publish this August from @sobelobooks.bsky.social !!! This will be my second book with them, and I’m pumped for everybody to read it!

I know you shouldn't have a favourite child, but out of all the books I've written, this is mine.📗 Set on the West Wales coast, the quote from Library Journal says it all. A Moonlit Path of Madness: mybook.to/uBdi

Today, I will mostly be working on this collection of stories set in and about Spain. #writing #booksky 📚 #WIP

Out today! Includes my story, The Carbon Giant, which pays homage to my experience of growing up in a Welsh mining village. #welshwriters

Delighted to find both of these at the charity shop today!😃 I haven't been able to find Grumpy Old Men anywhere, and it's one of my favourite comedies. Cost 10p each!

Life's been tough lately, so today I'm taking a break. Planning a pub lunch, a visit to one of my favourite book shops, and a stroll beside the sea. Happy Friday, all!

In case you missed it yesterday…

I love my crazy, wild garden at this time of year. Full of birdsong and wildlife. Soul food.💚

Last night, I dreamt my toes were webbed, with gelatinous, pink skin stretching from one to the next. Maybe it's time to succumb to the call of the deep.😄 #Cthulhu

An attempt at nature therapy to calm the stress. Did it work? Yes, while I was there, but I think it's too cold to sleep on the beach.
