Seriously. I just read this comment on my FB page and I am absolutely *howling* with laughter. I’m printing this out and framing it. I could write a Booker winner every week for the rest of my life and I’d never get a more perfect review 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #booksky #writersky

Never gets old being notified about my own stuff 😎🤪 #writersky

…AND IT’S OUT! Secrets That Lie in the Dark, Book 2 of The Medium Trilogy, out now on Amazon! Book 1, A Fleeting Trick of the Light, also available on free ebook download until Wednesday. 🔗 in bio. Enjoy! 👻

Loving my new bookmarks… and for the eagle eyed, a sneak peek at the title of Book 3, due to complete The Medium Trilogy next Spring 😉😁 #booksky #readersky #writersky

Build you #october TBR with these new #horror releases: @dlwinchesterwriter.bsky.social @gagegreenwood.bsky.social @hdeanfisher.bsky.social @apageaday-maybe.bsky.social @patricktumblety.bsky.social @candacenola.bsky.social @renbolger.bsky.social @undertakerbooks.bsky.social

Okay… 1 week until Book 2 is out on 6th October folks, so Book 1 will be on FREE DOWNLOAD from Amazon from Sat 4th through Weds 8th. Sorry to non-Amazon users, I do aspire to one day not rely on it as my primary sale site. Also pretty bookmarks 🤩🥰 #booksky #readersky #writersky

Had a bit of a sort out recently and came across this. Back in ‘96, I was going by Angie and living in Ramsgate and my Big Sis sent me this clipping with one of her letters… Coming across this and realising she was supporting my dream even back then has given me the warm fuzzies 🥰🫂 #writersky

Not long now! Book 2 of The Medium Trilogy comes out two weeks today on 6th October … ebook is available on preorder now at Amazon 📖📲 #booksky #readersky #books #readers #ghoststories

OOOOOOOHHHHHH SOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!! Author copies have arrived… & don’t they look fab next to Book 1 🤩😍 Book 2 of the trilogy out 6th October folks 😱 #booksky #readersky #writersky

…and neither of them are my husband or my Mom (I checked!) 😎😁 Whoever you are, if you’re even on here - thank you so much, I’m chuffed to see these appear 3 weeks before Book 2 launches 👍🏻 #booksky #readersky #indieauthorsky

Love it when they try and flog me my own book heheheh 😁🤩 #readersky #booksky #writersky #indiebooksky

All checked and approved - paperback and hardback are definitely go for 6th October 😎🤩 #booksky #writersky

Ooh, look what’s come!!! 😁😎🤩 #readersky

Woohoo! Chuffed to bits with this - been meaning to sort out the other end of the office for a while and now it’s (mostly) done 😎 Got a cosy (Wayfair flash sale bargain!) sofa, a bunch of my DVDs and books, plus Singing Gizmo and a couple of talking Baby Yodas for company 🥰 #cosysky

MY BOOK'S OUT TODAY! books2read.com/MatthewKing Four killers meet for dinner, but what do they find? Friends? Murder?! LOVE?! This Horrormance reveals relatable killers whose amusing banter is playful and thought-provoking, tackling issues like gender identity, discrimination, and feminism.🖤🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💀

5 weeks to go until it’s out proper… but any ebook/Kindle folk can pre-order Book 2 now if they fancy 😱😁👍🏻 #booksky

Blurb alert - she’s back… on 6th October 🤩 #booksky #readersky

…and reviews are SO SO important to indie authors. Did you know if you have an Amazon account, you can rate & review a book on Amazon even if that’s not where you got it from? The only difference is that it won’t show as a ‘Verified Purchaser’ review - but who cares, they all count!!!

Woohoo, it’s DONE!!!! Well, apart from the rest of the editing. Oh, and the blurb. And the acknowledgments. Oh god, there’s still loads to do, isn’t there?!!! Ah well - Secrets That Lie in the Dark, Book 2 of The Medium Trilogy, out 6th October… hopefully 🥴🤣 #booksky

Hee hee 😁😎 #genxmusic

Today’s writing research… routes from Canterbury to the Uni campus. I recall a dark, iffy shortcut behind a housing estate where I was sure I was about to be attacked one night before I took the long way round. Didn’t stay at UKC long (dropped out 1st month), but it left an impression! #writersky

This time next week… it’ll all be over, to be fair 🤣 Come join @silentbookclubbirmingham upstairs at ABO Brindley Place next Sun 1st June 11.30am for a chat with… me! 😎 My first (& likely only) Author Q&A. Paperback will also be available to buy at £7.99 - a whole quid cheaper than Amazon! #booksky

…I’ve been looking forward to this. Booked hols from the 3-days-a-week day job, (mostly) cleared the diary, and now I can cosplay as a full time writer all week for the first time in my 48 years. Notifications silenced, phone on DND - time to crack on, Book 2 won’t finish itself 😎✍️📖 #writersky

Gremlins (1984) 🎥 Directed by Joe Dante After receiving an exotic small animal as a Christmas gift, a young man breaks the three important rules concerning his new pet, which unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous creatures on a small town. #FilmSky

Carrying the goods for @tmpagg.bsky.social while he checks out roughly 153,693,572 gaming cartridges at Birmingham Gaming Market. I’m hoping to find the stall we saw pics of on all the adverts that has a generous supply of Twinkies #gamingsky

Sorting out the bookcase and indulging in lovely memories of when I was writing the first draft of A Fleeting Trick of the Light a couple of years ago - this is what it looked like back then 😎 #writersky

Cackled when this notification just popped up on my phone 🤣 Living the high writer life!!!!! To be fair, this is just Feb US Kindle page reads - more to come in from the UK, which is my main market - but it just tickled me. Remind me again when I can quit the day job???!!! 🥴 #writersofbluesky

Comments like this make it all worth it. I don’t know if readers realise how much writers treasure every positive breadcrumb; it’s so touching & encouraging when you know someone’s enjoying this thing you’ve poured your heart, soul, stress & self-doubt into. I love readers 🥰 #booksky

Another absolutely stunning piece from @catch_thetide.123 to add to the writing wall… check out her page for more amazing art 🥰 #picturewall #supportindieartists #westwales #westwalesart #bloodybeautiful

Been dying to add a little bat cameo into Book 2 since my husband and I went on a bat walk at the end of last summer. Today is finally Bat Day 😁🦇 #writersky

Super quiet at the day job today… so my very amenable bosses are happy for me to crack on with Book 2 until some actual work comes up 😎👍🏻 If you’re looking to rent or buy commercial property around Cannock, do me a favour and put it off until next week, then I can do this tomorrow too 😁 #writersky

Zelenskyy is a better man than me because I would have started biting people.

This weeks cover from @theneweuropean.bsky.social was spot on as always

Why is he so incredibly nice to Putin and then so incredibly mean to Zelensky? what’s that about

Book 2 playlist… #writersky #writersofbluesky

I could get so much more writing done so much faster, if only pesky real life would stop getting in the way 🙄 #writersky #writersofbluesky #dayjob #stuckatwork

Just had my first review on Goodreads, and… I’m not crying. It’s allergies, all right? Just allergies 🥹🤩 #writersky
