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

My fave newspaper The Sunday Post has described the audio version of Deadly Reckoning as 'GRIPPING' with ‘HARD HITTING CRIME & TEAR JERKERS’. Absolutely thrilled with this. Thank you! Credit to the wonderful narrator Blythe Jandoo @lorellabelliagency.bsky.social @hqstories.bsky.social

Great use of police resources yesterday... I feel a lot safer today, don't you?

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.
