Vintage vibes for the interview with Raj Moodley. What a great time we had talking about books and art. She really did her homework and I love how well she knew my heart stories. Can't wait for the interview to be up! #vintagevibes #historicalfiction #40s #booksky

It was a good interview, I think, had a great time chatting to Raj. There's a rich autumnness to the air and the sea of grass seeds. The days are still summer, but the rising and setting of the sun betrays the changing season.

Convincing you to read my book by illustrating scenes... Till Death Us Do Part- A Tale of Wild Geese #characterart #booksky #historicalfiction #ataleofwildgeese

Well, rugby folks, it seems we've made it to the international rugby magazines. Trigger warning: not a single rugby scene in any of my books, just some pretty decent dogfights. www.intouchrugby.com/magazine/boo...

She was in love with both parts of him, the fighter pilot in uniform and the tall dark-haired young man with tousled hair who could sit with her on the lawn and speak sweet nothings to a wounded goose. #ataleofwildgeese #characterart #booksky

It's been quite the weekend. Had some of the most bizarre interactions of my life with what felt like stalker level obsessed fan.

Oh the sound of a radial... #aviation #cropdusting #avgeek

The Dewoitine D.520, one of the lesser-known aircraft we see in The Red Cross Letters. It had an all-metal fuselage powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y engine. It was used by the Vichy French in Africa and it's involved in the incident over the sea on the coast of Haifa, later in RCL. #aviationhistory

The first edition of The Land Girl in 1940. The Women's Land Army kept agriculture & forestry alive during wartime. The girls usually barely had an idea of the job. Eleanor and Christina in A Tale of Wild Geese were placed at a goat dairy with decent people, but not all girls were lucky. #history

Roald Dahl at Wilson Airfield, Nairobi, where he was learning to fly Tiger Moths after enlisting in the RAF. He flew Gloster Gladiators, had a frightful crash and then after recovery, rejoined 80 Squadron in Greece. You will brush by him briefly in The Red Cross Letters in Haifa #history #roalddahl

One of The Few. South African boy Albert Gerald Lewis, callsign Zulu. Albert flew Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain, was shot down and suffered severe burns in his face and hands. He married an English girl and later came home to South Africa where he became an influential farming figure #history

I got this review in a message yesterday. It's now up on Goodreads, too, and it left me on a high, misty-eyed and once again speechless. Three of you have reduced me to speechless in less than a week. #5starreview #historicalfiction #historicalromance

Wildlflowers on the fencing line. Jim and I both seem to be on a fencing speedrun today. It's going much, much faster than yesterday and no one has bled yet #farming #homesteading

Best moment in the morning? Opening the stable door and letting my does file out and each and every one will come say hi and stand for pets. #goatsky #farming #homesteading

No words to describe the sky tonight #photography #sunsetsky

Yup. That's it. I'm beaten for the day. But we do have a fair stretch of fence up. This is the life we chose, isn't it? Hard work, sweat and blood, and tiny little wildflowers strewn through it, hope on butterfly wings #farming #wildflowers #homesteading

Another day down. Tomorrow I at least get some help with the fencing. My hands are done with this. This particular roll of barbed wire is out to get me. Someone must have hand-sharpened the barbs.

My mother didn't raise any scared children. But man, we're pretty dumb.

Yesterday was rough. Spent the day repairing fences after my buck lost his last brain cell. I don't have a finger left that's not cut up. Everything hurts. I'm only halfway securing the fencing to a new bottom wire. Fun times.

De Havilland Canada-built Mosquito B. Mk 25. Like many DHC Mosquitoes, KA424 was flown across the Atlantic to serve in RAF Bomber Command. Seen here in Canada prior to delivery, with the port Merlin engine running, she flew with No 608 & 162 Sqns. She survived, but force-landed in Norway in 1945 🛩️⚔️📍

Just to let you know my plans for this year. At the request of my first ever reviewer, I’m writing the third part of The Calling of Highbrook. Six years of immersing myself in such psychological themes sent me slightly potty but it’s time now. Have a cosy night #BookSky mybook.to/Highbrook
