✨Weekly Writing Update✨ This week is a bit of a chaotic writing week. I’m still in the midst of my final battle - I love writing battle scenes the Medieval historian in me is unleashed. ⚔️ I’m also feeling like writing some more of my Witherleigh horror or Christian YA books…

Autumn, 1956. When a matron vanishes from a private psychiatric clinic inside a medieval manor, DI Temple and Sergeant Cantwell uncover more than a missing person case. Greedy Grifters and Lunatic Lies by @DodgeyDog is a classic detective mystery wrapped in lies, danger, and Dartmoor atmosphere.

The birds were as tuneful this morning as they were last night, welcoming the coming sunny weather in. Temperatures range from 12° to 22°, wind speeds around 11mph, and there's 35% chance of rain, a cloudy but sunny day #BlackdownHills. Sunrise 05:15, sunset 21:05.

It's easy to blame Charles for causing another civil war by allying with Scottish Engagers in 1647. But the king had the Scots, Parliament, & Army approaching him, each as entrenched, each wanting to use him at the expense of the others. All of them caused the renewed hostilities.

I went to a bookstore and walked away with these. 😊 The seller, ‘You must REALLY love books!’ I replied, ‘I do, but I’m also testing the Butterfly Effect.🦋 Maybe by buying these, the universe will nudge a few more people to discover my book.’ 🙏 ⬇️ www.amazon.co.uk/MY-EGO-SCREW... #SupportBooks

I'm pleased with recent bookings in York, Manchester, Guildford, Worcester & Sherborne. However, when we launch the tour there will be many "Why aren't you doing my back garden!?" comments... Well, now is the time to book me for that gig! More info: tinyurl.com/bdhbmmer

The 2nd in the DI Temple series by award winning author J T Owens amzn.eu/d/03mP3aZE

Together they produced these artworks, 'A Place in the Sun' and 'Winterland Rescue' using photographic studies of the local area with observed & imagined 'skyscapes', using creativity to explore ideas of space, nature, & the city beyond the wards. Can you spot any Whitechapel landmarks? #VitalArts30

On day three of our look back at past arts projects for #VitalArts30, we're focusing on something big! The restoration of the St Bartholomew's Hospital West Wing as a Breast Care Centre in 2002-2005 saw the building 'wrapped' in an artwork by Julian Opie during the construction works
