It's that time of year again: spooky month. So in the run up to Halloween/Samhain, here's a little scary tale I prepared earlier. Four old ladies walk into a pub (in three parts): fiphillipswriter.com/2023/10/ #HalloweenTales #FantasyReads #AmWritingSpooky #BookSky

I know it's early but this guy's been chomping at the bit to say hello again after his brief appearance. He doesn't get out much for a lot of the year. I thought he could have a week to himself - his story is Santa's EARLY Christmas after all. #christmas #picturebooks #99c mybook.to/SantasEarlyC...

Random brain-spiral on the long-term results of space battles ala Battlestar Galactica & all the ammo that missed. Bottom line: if you don’t want to create a cloud of bullets & bombs orbiting planets forever, you need lasers—they lose efficacy over distance. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk lol.

If you discovered a door like the one in Hartley Keg’s kitchen that could take you anywhere, where would you go? For me, it would probably be Venice or some of the world’s most beautiful libraries. What about you? #ReaderQuestion #MagicalDoor

#99c #SHORTSTORIES THIS WEEK ONLY mybook.to/Sandcastles This collection encompasses the cycle of life, from finding love to challenging children, parents who misbehave, and beyond, with a sprinkling of mystery along the way to keep things interesting.

It’s #nationalpoetryday - the theme is play. Imperfect pencil marks of barely recognisable letters graced reams of paper before words emerged. But we could play.

Waiting for my youngest to get their hair cut this afternoon and reading the latest Writing Magazine, I came up with a brilliant idea for a ghost story. Haunted house. Remote location. Secrets to unveil. It's not my normal genre but it's perfect for a little pre-Halloween writing. #AuthorLife

I've been suffering with an injured shoulder for a while now. It's a great excuse to do less housework but it does tend to get in the way of working at a keyboard, especially mouse-work. My lovely husband has now bought me a track ball mouse. Wish me luck. #AuthorLife
