Last call!

A tricky little jigsaw puzzle.

I've been a little slack on here lately, but I have a book launch coming up next week. Details below. If you are nearby why not come and say hello.

Took a break from writing today to check out the Thames Path in London to see how work is progressing in Battersea and after the Tideway work in Vauxhall. #ThamesPath The last no-go area in Battersea (last photo)

Out of London for a bit. In Cornwall for a family get together. I've even found time to do some writing and a jigsaw!

This week’s Sunday Snippet brings you Poorly Mended Fingers by T.E. Bean ( @tebean.bsky.social ) In this quietly powerful poem, T.E. Bean explores masculinity, vulnerability, and the strength found not in clenched fists, but in open hands. Read it now in Issue 4.

It's never too early to talk about Christmas! My feel-good Christmas novel is available to pre-order through Troubador Publishing and Amazon.

I have re-vamped my writing blog and today I've posted about where to find submission windows for your work. storyandverse.blogspot.com/2025/05/blog...

Excited to return from holiday to find I'd been published! Thanks guys.

What are you #reading ? This is my latest read.

It's so hard to walk by a book shop. Even harder not to buy something when in one, especially when there's an offer on 😏

Thank you for the music. My second time seeing ABBA Voyage. Fantastic.

Love my local library, but there are some cool looking libraries around like Liverpool, Birmingham and Belfast.

Feeling Christmassy yet?

Had to take this moon photo through my writing room window as I can't get it open due to all the Christmas lights sellotaped around it 😂

Had a poem shortlisted, but it didn't quite make it - no room at the inn 😂. The publication was really lovely about it.

Love your library. My choice of borrowed books today.

Christmas lights. What's not to like? Photo from my blog. pieceoftheattraction.blogspot.com/2024/12/chri...
