Book update. I used to use a UK printer called Inky Fingers to print my books & they were always really good. When looking at making my latest book, I went back to them to find they were bought out by a larger print company. OK, I thought they seem to run things similar & still affordable But...

I’ve just seen a narrowboat that looks like it’s entirely crewed by cats, and it’s not even 10am

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

I woke up this morning and found out that the Paddington Musical has a song about Taxidermy and its very relatable hahaha Pretty Little Dead Things youtu.be/EyYB2WwAr24?...

Ever since I started my new life, I rediscovered a love of reading (it was like my brain had been starved of knowledge) But I now have a problem that I buy more books then I can read at a given time. I think I have prob about at least 10 books I need to finish or start reading

forgot to say last week I picked up a signed paperback of @peteralanross.bsky.social Steeple Chasing. Bit sad that its not hardback (to match tomb with a view and Upon a white horse) but is signed and has an extra chapter so despite not having all hardbacks I cant be too sad!

Lovely to see past auction entries being enjoyed @anotherrandomkiwi.bsky.social

I need to start getting on top of listing the auctions soon ready for Dec 1st. Bloody scary how close it is!!!

I treated myself to reading 2 more chapters of Killing the Dead Really fascinating stuff in the last part I read about the different ways corpses were treated after death and the gender imbalance in these mutilations up to the 10th Century. 200 pages in and 200 to go hahaha

As I'm pants at drawing, I've entered a signed copy of Household Lore into the auction - win the bid and I'll write you a bespoke dedication! Just in time for you to give my book as a Christmas present, oh the brownie points you'll receive! #HouseholdLore #Charity #Booksky #WritersLife #Folklore 📚

Remember, Remember the 5th of November Little Mari heads out to see some fireworks, with a sparkler and toffee apple

Today, officially out of a bookshop job 😭 There's a rehabilitation period needed for my back injury. (No lifting piles of books or standing on my feet for hours at an end for the next month or 2) Which means working hard to draw & survive with jambookshop.co.uk and davidziggygreene.bigcartel.com

'Remember, remember the 5th of November!' 🔥 These are thought to be the earliest photographs of a bonfire. These photographs were taken in 1853 by John Dillwyn Llewelyn at Penllergare in Swansea 📷 museum.wales/articles/972... #Wales #BonfireNight #History

Currently looking at the Paris Catacombs gift shop Maybe I can go next year to see my people!

Former Border Patrol agent Lairmore on the porch of the retirement home in his bath chair. He looks off into the distance, his eyes narrowing into a thousand yard stare that speaks of horrors that will not leave him. "I can still smell the onions and mustard," he murmurs.

The Nausicaä print that kicked off my monthly riso print thing, before I had the foresight to add a border. Maybe I’ll have to revisit it for a future month, but in the mean time I’ve got something else more fall-themed in the works for this month instead

Quite tempted to go to this

This quiz is amazing in showing how close current transphobia is to being 30 year old reheated homophobia:

Algerian-born train hero saves train passengers from attack. Since the right-wing press loves reporting criminals’ race and religion, surely they should report heroes’ too. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I saw Witches a Kings Obsession last week and was tempted, but bought Killing the Dead instead. Managed to find a signed copy of witches as well! wooo! love signed books!

I wish I lived closer! Looks fantastic! (just bought witches a kings obsession to add to tbr list)
