Are there any particular authors you like to read over Christmas? At this time of year I like to revisit the Classics – Dickens, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, etc. They make me feel cosy! 📚❄️✨ #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #booksky #Christmas

OK, last cover reveal of the year, I promise! Sarah wishes her parents would stop arguing, but making wishes can be a dangerous business – you never know who might be listening... Out on 26th November 2025! Link to pre-orders in comments 👇 #booksky #SFF #mermaids #childrensbooks #cornwall

aaaand there's an issue with ordering proof copies atm, so won't be getting it as soon as I hoped. Serves me right for getting excited about any aspect of the publication process, I suppose 😅 #writingcommunity #writerslife #authors #writers

Proof copy of my latest novel ordered 😁 Cover art reveal coming soon... More details at: www.kgreenbooks.com Subscribe for the latest updates! #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #authors #books #readers

I'm writing a scene involving two characters, both currently named '[name]'. So sentences read like this: "[name] turned to face [name]" "'Come, now, [name]', [name] said" This is untenable 😅 #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting #writers

Anyone else dying to start a new project, even though you still have several other WIPs you really should wrap up first? 😅 #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting #writers #creatives

Does your day job influence your writing? I’m lucky in that I work with archaeological artefacts for a living, which comes in pretty handy when seeking inspiration! #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting #writers #archaeology

Are there themes in your stories that occur totally by accident? An unintentional yet core theme that runs through a lot of my stories is that long-dead people still matter. Weird, huh? #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting #authors

Viking sword + shy ghost + wild, remote setting = a book for Kelly! Loving The Haunting of Fortune Farm by Sophie Kirtley 😊 #booksky #amreading #archaeology #vikings

November it may be, but a few things are still blooming in my little garden 😊 #gardening #nature

Why do skulls and flowers make such an excellent combination? 😍 #booksky

My local woods are full of wonders. Today, they showed me a secret doorway, filled with golden light ✨🍂 #nature #woodland #ancientwoodland #autumn #autumnvibes #folklore

Sometimes I miss fieldwork. And sometimes, Facebook throws this photo of our flooded site into my ‘memories’ feed and I thank all the gods that I no longer do this for a living. UK commercial archaeology can be brutal! #archaeology #britisharchaeology #UKarchaeology #commercialarchaeology

That feeling when a character who has been known as [name] for months finally tells you their name 😊 #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting

"Where am I, and what is the time?" he said aloud to the ceiling. "In the House of Elrond, and it is ten o'clock in the morning." said a voice. "It is the morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know." #Tolkien #BookSky Image: "Rivendell - The Riders" by @donatoarts.bsky.social

You know when you see an ad for a niche job that has nothing whatsoever to do with your experience or skillset, and you have a pang of regret for not having devoted your life to that particular niche? That just happened to me when I saw a job ad for a shipwright 😅

Anyone else's Amazon Ads campaign totally messed up today thanks to Amazon's little accident? 🙄 #WritingCommunity #writers #bookmarketing

When you were a kid, did you read books where the protagonist was a different sex to you? Did you have a preference? #writingcommunity #writers #readers #books

Has anyone had success with Amazon Ads? If you get 1 click per 1000 impressions & 1 sale per 10 clicks, I don’t see how this can result in significant sales unless you get 100,000+ impressions a week, which seems a tall order! #writingcommunity #authors #writers #bookmarketing

Love to see art inspired by #archaeology 😁

The stunning west door of St Botolph's Priory in Colchester, which was founded c. 1093. Largely built from recycled Roman bricks, it was dissolved in 1535 and is now a stately ruin. #MedievalMonday

In the depths of a cave Lurks the ghost of sweet Maeve Who’s childish trust Crumbled to dust When her brother failed to be brave #limerick #poetry #writingcommunity #booksky #readingcommunity

Weird that I now have to describe myself as an ‘old school’ writer because I don’t use AI to generate ideas or to write for me 🙃 #writingcommunity #writerslife
