Thank you xxxxx

Love how it looks like rainbow is melting the building #oldglass #buxton

Great visit to Black Cat Books Launceston #cornwall #awriterslife

#TheSecretsofHarbourHouse is the latest #escapist #romance from @lizfenwick.bsky.social . Sent to catalogue a coastal estate in Newlyn, Cornwall, Kerensa welcomes the distraction from her grief. Harbour House features a sensual portrait that draws the viewer into the mystery of its subject. (2/5)

Look what arrived 😍 One of my favourite reads of the year, The Secrets of Harbour House by @lizfenwick.bsky.social is a feast of a story, full of love, heartbreak, grief and the importance of women’s art set in Cornwall & Venice ❤️❤️❤️ #amreading #writingcommunity #authorlife #cornwall

Brought is cat home having won it at auction to mark the publication of on tenth novel, The Secrets of Harbour House… a black cat plays a special role!

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Loved doing this!!

As a Cornishman, I am very proud of my heritage and today is St Piran’s Day, the patron saint of Cornwall. Here is a short clip of our anthem, Trelawney, sung by Truro Male Voice Choir. Enjoy! 〓〓 Gool Peran Lowen #Cornwall #StPiransDay #home #heritage #life #choir #music #sing #Kernow

Beautiful day and a glorious #plotwalk #cornwall

Current read @janejohnsonbakrim.bsky.social loving it!!

Two #plotwalks today which helped my mental health no end #cornwall

Happy publication day!!

Back home in #cornwall #breathe

My successful bid from @childreninread.bsky.social The Secret Shore by @lizfenwick.bsky.social was so descriptive; it played out in my head like an old black & white war movie. I loved the characters & the many interesting historical facts throughout added to the story. A throughly enjoyable read!

Same day, two #plotwalks #cornwall

Wishing you a happy Valentine’s from a very damp #cornwall

Morning #cornwall

Great walk on Frenchman’s Creek today. Love where I live!! #Cornwall

Great #plotwalk yesterday

Observing my thoughts on AI in publishing (and in general) over the last year starting at ambivalent, moving to reluctantly tolerant, to curious, to intrigued (lasted about 2 weeks max), to sceptical, to blanket 'fuck that, never using it, it's banned' has been a ride fortune.com/article/how-...

Sorry for the silence… my mother died on 9 December and this is requiring a big recalibration in my life/thinking/doing… so a bit late but happy new year!

Jet lag… it’s 4 am in Vegas!!

Thank you Linda!! Xx
