I know we're not meant to have favourites, but some books hold a special place in your heart. These were the first, and so much fun to write. If you're in the market for some 70s smut, snark, and sisterhood, then check them out. books2read.com/FridayNightF... #BookSky

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

Something aviation that my husband worked on. Sharing since the old workhorse (the Hercules, not my husband!) was retired by the Royal New Zealand Air Force this week. youtu.be/kIKE72HYdx8 #rnzaf #hercules

Now this was a surprise!!! Someone made a synth album about the Hexham stone heads! Bravo yo @thenightmonitor.bsky.social

I was searching for historical news from Hexham, to add to my WIP. A throwaway line for one of the police officers, & found this pearler from the BBC - 1976: Lost HEXHAM HEADS Werewolf Report I’d be a terrible author if I didn’t run with it! www.bbc.com/articles/cdx... #timetravel

My short story 'The Watchman' from Clan Destine Press’s ‘Remains to be Told: Dark Tales of Aotearoa’ anthology is on Ellen Datlow's list of Best Horror of the Year Volume 16 Recommendations (2023)! Holy moly, Batman. What an unexpected surprise. ellendatlow.com/category/news/

My daughter finished her last exam on the 6th November. The requests for money have started. Due to her athletics schedule, there’s not a lot of time for your standard part time job, so I’ve got her creating TikToks for my books… Here’s the 1st one! *sound on #booklover #timetravel #ilovemysuitcase

Now why does this all seem a little familiar?

One benefit from my major surgery in June, were the anaesthetic-induced dreams which lead to the fully formed idea for my next thriller. “They’re not tenants, they’re prey…” And you can preorder it here: amazon.com/dp/B0DNFJYTFC #booklover #vampires

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

What’s wonderful about being here is that I’m reconnecting with all those wonderful people I abandoned when I left the Twitter propaganda machine. And it’s a joy.

The Labour Party has labelled the badger cull as 'ineffective,' yet they still permit existing cull licences to continue. Repost if you agree this is unacceptable!

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick. You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide. See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

The Gaetz fiasco is beyond belief. Clearly DOJ believed the victim; her testimony put Gaetz’s friend away for 11 years on Sex Trafficking and other charges. And her testimony was corroborated. Yet DOJ didn’t charge Gaetz? Now Trump and his allies want to protect Gaetz, an apparent pedophile. Jesus!

Surprise, surprise, the newest instalment of the Rocky franchise is as bad as you imagined it was going to be…

A brilliant Coldplay concert last night in Auckland. An absolute feast of love and joy. 199% recommend #coldplay

😂😂😂 Believe in science, not in politicians.

It's baffling – sacrificing our landscapes, tarnishing the environment, all to optimise conditions for red grouse so people can blast them out of the sky for fun. This isn't the world we want to live in. Share and follow us if you agree!

I love that now I'm seeing at least ten posts every day about supporting your local libraries, getting a library card if you don't already, and all that good stuff. They really are great, everyone!

I’ve just turned 50, & here I am, on another social media platform. Sigh! I’m a full time author who mostly writes time travel trilogies, with a smattering of paranormal thrillers in between. I have a vampire thriller releasing soon, & the 3rd book in my Roman time travel trilogy. Do we hashtag??
