This week on the blog, I welcome fellow Cariad, Jessie Cahalin to talk about her new novel 'A Gift For Maisie Bloom, published tomorrow. Jessie's uplifting story is set in Yorkshire and Paris. Find out more on janbaynham.blogspot.com #romance #cosycrime

My first post here, so I thought I'd make it about 2 things that have shaped my life #MECFS & #photography. For the past 3 years I've been photographing other people who also have ME, & I was delighted when @wellcomecollection.bsky.social published a selection wellcomecollection.org/stories/livi...

Am at BBC Radio Bristol today, chatting all about how my ME/Cfs ultimately led to me becoming a published author. Will be on the lunchtime show, live at 12. Do tune in if you can but I’ll drop a link in the comments for listen again a bit later 😊

So this landed today. 🥰 The thing with ME, and many invisible illnesses I imagine, is that you will only see people on their very best days. This is a little reminder that not everything is always as it seems. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol... #writinglife #invisibleillness

It’s that time of year to cosy up with festive reads and if you love a little bit of romance then Every Day In December could be just what you’re looking for. Check out all its reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and see if you fall in love as hard as Belle and Rory do ❤️🎄❤️

All these would have been ‘Woke’ or ‘PC’ in their time Women getting the vote (1928) Universal education (1870) Decriminalisation of homosexual acts (1967) Women owning property (1880) Right to Vote (1918) Regulation of child labour (1933) Etc How would the anti-woke of today have voted?

1920s Rebecca meets Agatha Christie meets Groundhog Day... And that's all you need to know, folks 😉 mybook.to/strokemidnightsocial

I’ve just finished this and loved every minute of it. There are so many beautiful little moments in this sliding doors story; add in some clever twists, great historical detail and a light, deft touch that causes the pages to race by and you have a truly joyful life-affirming read.

My review of No. 23 Burlington Square by Jenni Keer. Set in London in the 1920's, its a 'Sliding Doors' scenario set in a London boarding house. I loved it and definitely recommend. Publisher Boldwood Books Currently only £1.39 to download for Kindle if you're tempted! #BookBlogger #BookReviews

I'll be in Mevagissey in Cornwall on Sunday 1st October, with all these fab authors, ready to answer all and any questions about writing, books and publishing. If you're in or around the area, it would be lovely to see you. All very informal, just drop in and say hi! #writingcommunity #books

I just found out that the literal translation of the Mandarin word for penguin is “business goose” and my day improved 500%
