If you’re on Twitter… well, don’t be on Twitter. Even his cars are infected with his AI. The world doesn’t need the influence of this pathetic, evil thing

Artwork for a book I am writing. Slowly building up the adventuring party for "The Chosen One" Two sketches of the mare, Conker, because the artist did a second sketch following feedback. Opinions welcome. Info in #AltText #Fantasy #BookSky

Had a dream that I paid for an advert for Grandad Pigeon by Paul Gunning and somehow the link went to a new hardback edition of The House at Pooh Corner. Who can I sue? #PigeonRacing #BookSky #KidLit

A new account with news about books and writing plans. Good work in progress (short stories/2 novels) + new editions of existing novels soon. A break from socials gave me time to breathe… thought I’d stay away forever. But some sort of presence makes sense. #noteworthybooks #books #writing

Just want to say, my admiration for Dara O Briain was already about as high as it can go, but it just went up another notch. Just a personal thing , nothing in the news. 🙂

Vicious and cowardly. Mobs of terrorists in body armour assaulting innocent citizens exercising their right to peaceful protest.

news.sky.com/story/the-x-... This is an excellent piece of work by the Sky News team which needs to be amplified. Not only our politicians but our journalists need to get off X. It was obvious to many of us much sooner. I hope @news.sky.com will feature their report heavily over the next week.

Look what the postman brought? The #dyslexia-friendly edition of new LIES BETWEEN FRIENDS, and loads more psychological #thrillers set in #Bristol! I'll be signing them at #Shirehampton Market on Thursday morning. Also on Amazon in ebook, Kindle Unlimited, hardback, paperback, large print etc.

Mmm, looks tasty. 🤣

The day I took my novel, Small Forgotten Moments, to the beach that inspired it. ★★★★★ "Mesmerizing... creepy, fascinating" Readers' Favorite Is Zenna a muse, a sleep-deprived apparition, or something much more sinister? books2read.com/small-forgot... vineleavespress.myshopify.com/products/sma...

Pinch punch ... and pinch myself to be sure I'm not dreaming, already off and running on KDP. 😁 Also had direct sales this morning. At this rate I might have to start paying tax! 🤣 #BraggingRights #BookSky

Newly arrived and available soon. #BookSky "Pucksie and the Ghosts of #Dartmoor" It brings together legends of Dartmoor in a spine tingling adventure in which two children staying with their gran on Dartmoor meetb Pucksie, who spirits them into the lives of historical characters.

I did it day 31 award #inktober #award

It could hardly be any LESS independent than it is at the moment. 😂

Silly #Halloween 🧵 Finally concluding the nonsense I've been posting all month. On the … *cough* … ‘actual’ day of Halloween, 🎃 My true love gave to me, ❤️ One millions squashed bananas, 🍌🍌🍌🍌 Ten-thousand wild piranhas, 🐟 Three thousand rent collectors, 🕴️ Two thousand tax inspectors, 👨‍⚖️

This is way creepier than any pumpkin I have seen

Day 30 Vacant #inktober #vacant

Thread. Worth reading

Day 29 lesson #inktober #lesson

I spend a great deal of my time explaining to authors that they won't make any money from their books. I wish I could charge for that time because I don't generally make any money from the books either. 😕 It is really tough.

I was surprised to see a spike in sales for Exmoor Tales Winter on Amazon, but I just looked and they've reduced the price of the paperback to £2 I still get the full royalty so they make a loss! I can't print copies for that price! #BookSky #Exmoor #Somerset #Devon www.amazon.co.uk/Exmoor-Tales...

@officialrpra.bsky.social in case anyone is interested, 😉 I just got new stock in of "Grandad Pigeon" which might be the perfect gift for the grandchild of a pigeon fancier. bluepoppypublishing.co.uk/product/gran...

For anyone wondering what these are.... they're parsley roots! Similar texture and size to parsnip, but a mild parsley taste. If you fancy growing them from seed, look for Hamburg parsley (Petroselinum crispum) #GYO #allotments www.organiccatalogue.com/parsley-hamb...

On the umpteenth day of #Halloween, My true love gave to me, Fifty pigs on stilts, 🐷 Forty cardboard kilts, Thirty busted clocks, 🕰️ Twenty pongy socks, 🧦 Several sinister scientists with a fiendish new invention, 🧪 Quite a few horrific things we dare not even mention, 😱

"before"? Far too late. Incidents of racist abuse of NHS staff on the rise, violent attacks on marginal communities, emboldened knuckle draggers and flag shaggers everywhere you look. It's already taken hold and Labour are accessories at least.

Day 26 #inktober #puzzling

Day 25 inferno #inktober #inferno

I don't own a single clock or watch that doesn't do this automatically. 🙂

Day 24 rowdy #inktober #rowdy

Been trying to do this. I thought Kathy Kirby was a singer though. 🤭 I talk about Stephen King and Richard Osman when I try to explain why you WON'T be the next big thing. 😉🙂

for those that are wanting a good streaming service instead of Spotify why not try out Qobuz +Detailed, spacious sound +Strong high-res catalogue +Top paying streaming service +No adverts

As I suspected, protocol requires that any woman meeting the pope has to dress like that. Just another dumbass anachronistic pile of J Arthur.

The Pope's dress was so much better than Camilla's She looks ridiculous, and that's standing next to the Pope! 😂

What's that you say? That would remove 90% of current MPs? QUITE RIGHT TOO!

We should always hold our leadership to the highest possible moral standards. Had an affair? Not fit for office. Financial irregularities, barred from standing.

I like to lighten the mood here from time to time and to that Endive occasionally included posts like the one above. I thought it was a Little Gem, as salad leaf puns are much Chard-er than you'd think. Some of you Romaine unconvinced however, so Lettuce forget I ever made these posts...

Day 21 blast #inktober #blast

Can confirm. Essential reading for anyone working in any part of the criminal justice system or with people with #ADHD. #BookSky

#BookSky #ADHD #Prisons #Police #Crime This book is grossly overlooked because it's from a very small publisher and doesn't have the distribution and media it needs and deserves. I have the same difficulty myself so I know. www.waterstones.com/book/the-pri...

We need a new approach. Not Labour, not Conservative and definitely not Reform. We need a government that cares about fairness, and the planet. A government that is not afraid to say they will tax the richest, and support the oppressed. There is only one party that does that. 💚
