Wonderful dance production Bradford Arts Centre of ASTITVA by Jaivant Patel exploring how British Indian gay men navigate sexuality, culture and love. Beautifully choreographed and poignant, hopeful and Joyful in equal measure. #Pride #loveislove

Many thanks to all the librarians at Hebden Bridge @calderdale.bsky.social for this magnificent display of Bluemoose authors with a nod to the upcoming @bbc 6 part b series of Leonard and Hungry Paul by @ronanhession.bsky.social . Brilliant.

1/2 What Happens In The Dark @kiaabdullah.bsky.social A well thought out, authentically written, challenging & completely relevant take on misogyny, coercive control, domestic abuse, disempowered groups & current society.

Beginning my journey back home after a fabulous time Bloody Scotland . I'll start the photo dump with a wee video of one of my fave Scottish songs being played at The Golden Lion on Friday. Not crime fiction related, but still nice

Brilliant performance of A World Without Death last night. Very visual,loud and immersive. Us Northerners are made of stern stuff. A bit of rain? .. pah!.out came the brollies, up went the hoods and on went the waterproofs #Bradford2025 smashed it again

Glittery, summery light turqouise nails...#feelgood #selfcare #confidence #mentalhealthmatters

Yaay... author copies of Deadly Reckoning have arrived...

Sometimes I just crave the solitude of reading. It's that feeling of being wholly absorbed in someone else's life. Of feeling encapsulated in warm coziness. Of relaxing & letting your mind settle away from the noise of 'life'. #readingcommunity #readingtime📖☕️ #selfcare

It was Raksha Bandhan at the weekend. On Sunday we spent the day with some of Nilesh sisters at Windermere. Raksha Bandhan is all about love & connecting with family. I always tie a Rakhi round my kids, there partners and Nilesh wrist to symbolize my love and hopes for them for the future.

When your other half gets you these just because... He's a keeper

Birds tweeting,distant traffic, rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze, faint strain of 🎶 friends conversing, warm sun, cool breeze on skin, blue skies, earl grey and my writing pad.... #groundingwithnature #mentalhealth #writerslife

So, call this serendipity? Just read @dorothykoomson.bsky.social short story Beach Hut 512 and this card arrives from my friend . Loved the story,loved the card #FavouriteAuthors #beautifulfriends

I HATE gardening of any sort... but when the choice is plant the two plants outside or Nilesh won't cook his delicious jeera chicken,what can I do. Green fingered I am not but the chicken smells gorgeous so all is good

It's been seven years since I left my well-paid career job. I jotted down a few thoughts in a blog post on my website. www.heatherjfitt.com/heathers-blo...

1/4Long Post. I keep seeing posts from my friends about all the bad things happening in the word and I find myself becoming less and less able to respond to the posts. Not because I don't care, but because I just can't express the anger, despair, rage, I feel.
