I live for a day like this. Congrats, @crobertcargill.bsky.social , you’ve made it !

By far my favourite picture of Marlowe, taken a good few years ago now. Wishing a very happy festive period to you all. #happyholidays

Looking to get me some #bookreviewers! I’m partway through a series of #nonfiction titles about the #writing craft, and my next book will be #published in February 2025, on the topic of Creating Compelling Characters. Please don’t ask for money. It’s against Amazon rules. Reply here if interested!

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.” This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.

Okay, #authors, #novelists, #poets, and other #wordsmiths… This is my first post here. How does it work? Same as, you know… the other place? Interested in connections to booky peoples, especially if you’re a reader and/or writer of historical fiction. Come say hi!
