I was let go from my day job. So until I get a new income I'm a full time author. So if you want to support an author my novels are 0.99 or you can sign up for my newsletter and get books for free. Links in comments or bio. Until then my cat is enjoying my book from her box. #caturday #cats #sff

Yesterday's Word Count = 828 “There’s a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.” THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Mark your calendars. I am proposing making Monday 15 June an extra bank holiday in Scotland, to mark our return to the World Cup after 28 years. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hogmanay was lovely, first footing all done. Steak pie and tatties consumed. A good start to 2026. #2026 #hogmanay

I asked my son... what does a cat do when its scared? Attack he said. I said what do people do when they are scared? Fight he said.... and there you have it! Their plan... we fear each other, right, left neurodivergant, Fight. Guess what we're all different from each other. It's good.

Teamwork. One squirrel on the ground, one in the birdfeeder knocking seeds down. Yes that is a squirrel backside hanging out from the birdfeeder. 🤣🐿

Santa exists in everyone of you. Together making magic alive.

What if a criminal was placed in power? What if he continued to do terrible things? What if the people demanded he was removed and laws put in place to ensure that it never happened again? What if those laws meant no power for anyone elected ever again? What if that was the plan? Thoughts today.

Happy Solstice. As the darkness retreats and the light begins to win the celestial battle. I love my (ridiculously)oversized candle. It smells like a winter cabin and it crackles like a real wood fire. Cozy Holidays. 🕯🎄

🤣 tragically accurate.

The world feels quite simply out of control. To get some perspective I usually look up at the sky at night, but not all we see is starling satellites. So to get some calm I went for a walk in the woods. It was a very crisp Scottish country walk.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

First draft done. It's all out of my head. Its wild and funny. Now all I need to do is three rounds of read throughs, rewrites etc and then it'll be ready for querying. Wish me luck. 🤞 💙📚 #unagented #querying2026 #fantasywriter

It's here. The Smashwords end of year sale. Go on treat yourself. 💙 📚 #christmasgift #giftabook #treatyourself #freebooks www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...

Word count 1428 (so far). The context for today is that there is a riot in Glasgow as the truth is being disclosed. “Rab, get the bag fur life. The windae has been kicked in at the Hughes." #sundaywriter #writing #writer #sfffun

I've parked myself in front of a roaring fire today, and I'm not moving until a few more chapters have been written. Not a bad wee Sunday.

One of my cats thinks he's hiding. #caturday

ARGHHHHH Amazon has taken one of my books off of their platform, saying they think I've had too many reviews. I have been promoting the backside out of these books, and I am thankful for every review. I'll try to get it back on the platform, but that's made my decision to go wide with every book.

Wowzah 11.6 followers. 🙏 Well hello there. I am a Scottish Fantasy and Science Fiction author. My wonderful (and overly generous) readers compare my books to Douglas Adams, Sir Terry (Pratchett not Wogan), Ben Aaronovitch, Tom Holt & Roger McGough. For books and cats, I'm yer gal. 💙 📚 #booksky

Today's word count 1344. Ten more chapters and first draft will be done... I think .... Maybe. The action for today's writing is Christmas Day, in Scotland, Iceland, New York and Hawaii. It was very eventful ... the Goblins are the ones to watch out for. 📚💙 #booksky #writer #saturdaywriting

Frost on the holly tree this morning. #frosty ❄️

Has anyone else just thought the last few weeks have been monumentally rubbish? Like the universe has slipped into a parallel dimension, kind of rubbish. Today I have been seriously raging...my inner Glaswegian could not put up with corporate BS bingo today. #cathartic #rage

Writing is so weird. One day you're a genius. The next day, you're basically someone who scribbles on the walls with mud.

Glasgow wins again for art. A broken ladder to Hope Street. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎨 #glasgow #art #graffiti

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Word count 1862. The plot thickens, like a bowl of Skyr. Now how bad is it for a Glaswegian to want jam in their Skyr? #Thursdaywriter #midweekwriting #writer

Word Count today 940 and the All Being Benevolent Alliance (ABBA) was created. I love an acronym but finding one for the organisation to bring Aliens to Earth was a tricky one. #writer #writingcommunity

Icelandic folklore is terrifying. Quick someone give me a jumper.... someone out there gets it.

Sometimes the simple things are just the best reset to life. Real butter on hot toast. I'm set up for the day. 🍞🧈 #simplethings

Word count today 988. Not too shabby. The biggest decision I had to make was whether the Robins living in a Christmas tree should be sarcastic. #writer #writingcommunity

Word Count today: 1627 and he's here: Findo Gask the New York Goblin Lawyer, who runs illegal trade routes using Ley lines. He may or may not have had something to do with tariffs, as his business has been booming since the T word. 📚💙 #booksky #writerfridaynight en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findo_G...

Tonight im going to focus and write... I have been procrastinating. So tonight one way or another Findo Gask, a New York goblin lawyer, who runs lucrative trade routes using ley lines, must be born onto the page. He arrives tonight. Side note Findo Gask is a real place in Scotland, very Tolkien 💙📚

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

This book is ruining sleep for so many. Marion Says: The consciousness interface was pure genius—meditating to rewrite physics felt both trippy and terrifyingly plausible. I finished the book at 3 a.m. and immediately recommended it to my coder brother and philosophy-major best friend. #booksky 📚💙

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️
