A CATASTROPHE FOR ME AND THE SEA might be my favourite short story... At least for today anyway. #BookSky💙📚 #ForStrangersOnly #ShortStoryCollection #OutNow

Which one is the teddy bear?

From Gail's in Petersfield this morning, where I am attempting to fit in with the middle classes -

Friday came

Today - April 23rd, it's World Book Night in the UK. Here's a must read as spied in @waterstones.bsky.social Telford today... #WorldBookNight #BookSky💙📚

So nice to see For Strangers Only landing in so many places 🖤

I wrote Easy Cure as the war in Ukraine got underway. While we sit cosily in our safe countries, we offer words of encouragement, fooling ourselves that we can imagine the pain an elderly man feels as, under a rain of bombs, he sets off in search of his missing wife. #BookSky💙📚 #ShortStoryCollection

Right here. Right now. Beautiful Monday morning.

​​My collection of short stories is inspired by Whitby Abbey (see cover), and the inscription on a pew at the back of St. Mary's - For Strangers Only - stories for those at the back, the unseen, the unheard. ​Check it out now. 🖤 @whitbygothic.bsky.social #Whitby #GothicFiction #ShortStories

For Strangers Only - a collection of 15 stories about isolation and identity. Out now. Story 2: 'Paul's Eyes': #BookSky #horror #literaryfiction #OutNow

I'm not usually into remixes but I have The Cure's 'Mixes of a Lost World' album playing on repeat... 🖤 open.spotify.com/album/2OlRb9...

Hand in hand is the only way to land

Blown away by the response to For Strangers Only this week! ​If you’re looking for a read that’s short, sharp, and perfectly dark, it’s waiting for you. Thank you to everyone who has taken a chance on these short stories so far. 🖤 #BookSky💙📚

Great time on the Yorkshire east coast last week... Wonderful landscape, wildlife, and people 🖤

Also received the reissued dark fiction short stories from the author of the excellent thriller, The Great Orme For Strangers Only by @pauldcoombs.bsky.social Out now! #indiebooks #horror #booksky 🩸📚💙

I wrote 'I Am The Dust' (the first story in my short story collection - For Strangers Only) listening to Numb by The Cure on repeat. It honestly unsettled me a little. Let me know what you think should you read it 🖤 #BookSky💙📚 #TheCure #ShortStoryCollection youtu.be/ENw53W2TuWo?...

For Strangers Only - a collection of 15 stories about isolation and identity. Story 1: 'I Am The Dust' In this story, I explore the suffocating weight of the dust that burrows into a boy's thoughts. The boy becomes a man... no longer living... just enduring. Can he break free? #BookSky💙📚

When @jacksonjamie.bsky.social tells you to do something, it's recommended you do it

For Strangers Only is officially available in Hardcover, Paperback, and on Kindle. From the dust that breathes in empty hearts to the strangers who aren't quite who they seem, these tales question who we are and who we seem. ​#ForStrangersOnly #Horror #NewRelease #BookSky💙📚

My novel The Great Orme published in October 2024 by @northodoxpress And while I know the Amazon charts ratings can vary a lot over time, in a sea of books I'm really proud to see today's ratings #BookSky💙📚 #Books 👇

Beyond Facebook, I rarely post about my books on social media. Why add more white noise to a sea of white noise? But today I'll add more white noise and mention that the ebook version of my novel, FATAL ROUNDS, is currently on sale for $0.99. 🤓 #BookSky 📚 #BookBub 📚 carrierubin.com/my-books/liz...
