Meerkat Prompts: What’s a book that completely surprised you? For much of the book, I would have been tempted to conclude that R. Kyle Hannah's The Jake Cutter Conspiracy (Part One of the Tri-System Authority), was an enjoyable ride with an outcome I could have predicted, indeed one that I hoped…

My knee keeps throbbing. It's very peculiar. It doesn't hurt, nor does it look damaged, and yet here we are.

Leaning toward a StarFox tattoo for my next one, probably an Arwing. Pretty sure Fox McCloud would approve. #tattoos

Calling the local council always feels like I'm pulling teeth. Takes a small eternity to get through to a human being.

Meerkat Prompts: Desirable Train Journeys It's no secret that I am a train enthusiast. I love a good train ride, and I have a fascination with the railways and stations. There are a few train trips I would like to take that have so far eluded me, with some being more likely to happen than others.…

Weighing up whether to get my next tattoo in June, but haven't settled on what to get. F1, TMNT, StarFox, they're all in the mix. #tattoos

I'm not saying this regularly sums up my feelings where human beings are concerned... but I'm not saying it doesn't.

Made a banoffee pie the other day. I will never not love banoffee pies. Every component is beautiful.

I think today in Essex we might have experienced all the weather.

We seem to be entering thunderstorm territory.

My knee keeps twitching.

I've had a recent spate of marketing/promotional 'gurus' promising me the earth where book sales are concerned. How do you filter the wheat from the chaff?! I obviously want to sell more books, but not by paying the earth, that defeats the purpose!

Thinking a lot about this speech, and how it applies to modern politics.

I just remembered that the scourge of Eurovision is just around the corner. Have mercy on me, for my wife loves it! I shall need a few beers to get through this difficult occasion.

It's been nearly a year since I got to indulge in these amazing pork buns in Soho. They were incredible. I need them in my life again. #Food

Breached 40,000 words with one WIP, and 27,000 words with another. It takes me a while to churn out a book but I'm getting there! #amwriting

I am once again appealing for interesting and intriguing writing prompts, to fit into my Meerkat Prompts series. Zany, thoughtful, creative, funny, and serious topics are all acceptable. To get an idea as to the flavour: meerkatmusings.co.uk... #Blogging

I don't know if my fatigue is down to hay-fever, or just feeling plain-old tired. #furryart

Today's political news has certainly left me rather meh.

What happens in the wake of a revolution? What becomes of the deposed? With both sides believing the gods are on their side, and with the shadow of wars both internal and external threatening to undo him, how does Seluban hold his people together? www.amazon.co.uk/Sch... #Scifi

I am going to attempt to make a banoffee pie today. I may eat half the ingredients before getting that far.

I cannot believe how many people genuinely think Farage and Reform actually present something new and better for the country. Reform are the Tories on steroids, nothing more. They won't make things better.

The degree of discourse about the new #StarFox game proves that between Fox McCloud's movie appearance, and the reveal of the game, there's a lot of interest and intrigue, and regardless of the graphics, I think this game will be popular.

It's happening! Star Fox is back! Can I get a woohoo?! #Starfox

Cracked 26,000 words on the follow-up to my upcoming new release. Nearly at 40,000 words with another WIP. Good times! #amwriting

Listening to Bayern vs PSG on the radio, and from the sound of things, Bayern have had two pretty good shouts for a penalty turned down. PSG living dangerously.

Why do people turn up and be awkward, right as I want to eat?! Just fuck off!

The Meerkat Muse: 6th of May, 2026 Here we are again. It's Meerkat Muse time! Hold onto your hats 'kats, this one is gonna get busy. Tired Legs I mean this literally. Regular exercise does not come naturally to this meerkat. Running/jogging/power-walking has made me ache, but then again, no pain,…

I want biscuits, but I ate a load earlier, so now I must be disciplined! But I want biscuits!

I am of the view that tactical voting to keep Reform out has never been more important.

Today has been waaay too peoplely for my liking.

Seems like a crunch moment Britain. We either let this man get away with it again and become a British MAGA. OR WE hold him to account and draw a line in the sand. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Rumour has it that the lead character of my upcoming book will return... in Avengers: Doomsday. #Scifi #Doomsday

Meerkat Books: Books Reviews: Destiny’s Boot (The Barsian Job Book 1) One of the quirks about this book is that I got a free pen out of it! Not just any pen, a pen that doubles up as a stylus for my phone. I was most pleased by this! Enough about the pen (which is a lovely purple colour and easy…

The Thinking ‘Kat: Who to Thank? Recently, my daughter has faced something of a health scare. The issue relates to her thyroid gland, which is a sort of butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck. She experienced swelling on the left side of her neck, and discomfort from it, so my wife got her…

Nothing like pushing the old book marketing over the last couple of days to remind me that it's a never-ending battle!

Reform might speak ill of immigrants, but our recent experience with the NHS, with so many hard-working and talented doctors, nurses and surgeons, reaffirms how immigrants bring skill and value to UK shores.

My baby girl is out of surgery and now slowly recovering. She's very tired, and all she wants is sleep, but regular blood pressure checks keep waking her up!

Waiting and waiting for news is the worst feeling.

meerkatmusings.co.uk... The powerful Chon’ith Empire has expanded rapidly and aggressively, conquering all in their path. Stubborn and dogmatic, the Chon’ith do not accept retreat, and for years their passionate approach to warfare has won them many battles - until now. #scifi

'Tired' doesn't do me justice today, not least of all with my daughter in surgery. It's scheduled, but stilk nerve-wracking.

Inequality kills. People in the wealthiest UK areas have 20 more years of good health than those in the poorest. Healthy life expectancy for Richmond upon Thames man 69.3 yrs, woman 70.3 yrs. Man in Blackpool 50.9 years; woman in Hartlepool 51.2 years. Deaths rising among 25- to 49-year-olds.
