From King and Poets of Cashel, Cormac Mac Cuileannain (ad 836-908 I was a listener in the woods, I was a gazer at the stars., I was not blind where secrets were concerned, I was silent in a wilderness, I was talkative among many, I was mild in the mead-hall, I was stern in battle #Booksky

We have been updating the website recently, links to all books are now available on www.foreverlostatsea.com

Today is a break from editing book 2 and a day of researching into Celtic myths and legends. Reading up on Táin Bó Cúalnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) from The Ancient Irish Epic Táin Bó Cúalnge (1914) - Jospeh Dunn, David Nutt. #booksky #celticmythology #mythology #author

I have had an idea for a book kicking around in my head for a couple of years and thinking it might be time to give it a go. I always worry that it won't seem as good on paper as it does in my head! #writer #author #writercommunity #booksky

Today marks the 52nd anniversary of Tolkien’s death but his legacy lives on. Why not check out this recent episode of Long Story Short, where @calah.bsky.social joins hosts @davidgreenwriter.bsky.social and @robincmduncan.bsky.social to chat all things Tolkien s395.podbean.com/pb/397770fbe...

Editing has begun on book two. I love reading back the early parts as sometimes you forget what you have written or when you work as co-authors what the other person wrote! #author #writerscommunity #writer

The sea is a major part of the Forever Lost at Sea series. Humans are drawn to the water, and the dark mysterious depths. What are your favourite books based on the sea? #booksky #books #author #writercommunity #sea

The reason Sarah has had a bad back for over a week! She forgot she is no longer in her prime, but worth it! Potential location for book 3! #staffa #writerscommunity #booksky #author

If you had to only use one social media platform, what would you choose? We need to get better with our social media and we think concentrating on one might be a start! Any advice welcome! #booksky #writerscommunity #author #writers

Exciting news! At the end of September we will be having space in a local independent shop in Lancaster, UK. More news to follow! #booksky #writercommunity #author

Spending a week on Iona and visited Fingal's Cave on Staffa. If there was going to be one of the creatures hiding, this would be a place! Stunning! #mythology #staffa #Fingal'sCave #author #writerscommunity

I started a project in 2023 and it fell by the wayside. Just dug out my notebooks and decided it is time to bring it back. Sometimes a break from a project is needed. #writerscommunity #author #writer

Sirins have the head of a woman, but the body of a bird and her song is known the drive people into such a state of bliss that they will go to the death. Not to be confused with the Greek Sirens, who lead sailors to their doom www.foreverlostatsea.co.uk/sirin #booksky #writerscommunity #mythology

Today's mythological beast is the Bakunawa. From the Philippines, and held responsible for earthquakes, wind, rain and the destruction of the moons. Full story on www.foreverlostatsea.co.uk/bakunawa #author #writerscommunity #mythology #booksky

I have decided that writing is an addiction. When I don't have my laptop in front of me I get tetchy! I am at my happiest sitting researching and editing at the moment. #writerscommunity #writer #author

Sarah has a new children's book out!

Arachne was a human weaver of great skill and great beauty. She was extremely confident of her skills and challenged Athena. It did not end well! www.foreverlostatsea.co.uk/arachne-greek #mythology #author #writercommunity #booksky

My new children's book has gone for approval and printing! I am amazed at myself that I managed to self publish and I still have some hair left in my head! #writerscommunity #writer #author #booksky

Front cover for my new children's book approved! It feels more real now! #writerscommunity #author #writer #booksky

Makara is from Hindu mythology, its name from the Sanskrit for 'Sea animal' or 'crocodile' and is a hybrid with a body of a fish, feet of a lion, trunk of an elephant and the tail of a fish of peacock. www.foreverlostatsea.co.uk/makara #booksky #writerscommunity #author #writer #mythology

The Huma is a bird from Persian mythology, and is a sacred bird of good fortune. However, fate is not kind to those who try to use it for their own gain, stories on our website. #folklore #mythology #booksky #writer #author www.foreverlostatsea.co.uk/the-woodcutt...

Anansi is a mythology figure from Africa who has crossed over to modern storytelling. As a storyteller, trickster, and intelligent figure he is a good source for stories. He is a fascinating study! www.foreverlostatsea.co.uk/nanni-the-sp... #Booksky #mythology #writer #author

As a writer, I think reading is massively important so sharing my current read - The Impressionist by Hari Kunzru (2002), the tale of a boy who is half Indian, half white and does not fit into either side in colonial India. I am only half way through but, am enjoying it immensely #booksky #fiction

Folklore Charm of the Month - If during the month of July a bee should land on you, it will be extremely lucky! Bees are seen as good luck, but don't try and keep one on your person! It won't like that! Bees are important to nature which is likely where this began #folklore #foreverlostatsea #bees

Holidays are amazing! However, now it is back to normality and back to working on the draft of Book 2

The next hosted #FolkloreThursday is 12 June and our theme will be folklore of the seas and oceans! Our hosts will share your posts to the hashtag at the following times (BST): 9am-1pm 3.30-4.30pm 6.30-7.30pm (Image: Pierre Denys de Montfort, 1801)

Deathless Aphrodite of the spangled mind, child of Zeus, who twists lures, I beg you do not break with hard pains,    O lady, my heart A bit of Sappo poetry for a Sunday afternoon #booksky #poetry #greekmythology

Melville's words remind me of the depths within us all. It’s in the quiet moments, when we dive deep into our thoughts and stories, that we discover true treasures. Here’s to exploring those depths! #booksky #books

Loving the unusual weather up here in the North of England, writing outside in the garden is amazing. Making the most of it while it lasts!

It is unusually warm up here in the North of England, a perfect day for sitting outside with a book! #Booksky

In May, Jack-in-the-Green awakens in all this 9-foot glory and dances in the streets with chimney sweeps, bogies, and musicians. However, once he has completed his dance, he is killed to bring about the beginning of summer. Poor Jack-in-the-Green #Booksky #folklore #mythology #author #summer

Written by Anghus Houvouras, half of the Forever Lost at Sea team. This is the story of one writer who attempts to take on Hollywood armed only with a sliver of talent and an average sized penis. Full description in comments #BookSky #writer #author

"Readers skip prologues" "readers skip ephemera" "readers skip-" do y'all just not like reading? Or

"Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, who would last us into serfdom and crush us with his might? Is there anything left for us but to organise and fight? For the union makes us strong." Written in 1915 by Ralph Chaplin, Solidarity Forever was used on May Day by worker marches

As an folklore and mythology author and studier, I am loving this book at the moment for songs and stories for each month of the year. Supporting each other is definitely the way to go as writers and authors. What books are your go to books? #Booksky #author #mythology #folklore

Losing your laptop charger is a nightmare for a writer it turns out! I write in coffee shops and my local community and arts centre and somehow I lost my charger. Not realising until my laptop was dead did not help! Maybe I need a typewriter for backup - any excuse for one really! [Sarah] #Booksky
