One of the best pieces of graffiti art I have ever seen. And very apt for many of my days...

I'm pleased with the updated cover for the revised paperback edition of my history of #adoption book. The blurb is much better and excellent bait for bookshop browsers! #historywriters #historyofadoption #historyofchildhood #socialhistory

Helga the Malinois and her buddy Ollie napping after tea. Ollie is 17 years old and blind, an ex street dog from Serbia. And the boss dog! #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #noshesnotagermanshepherd #dogsonbluesky #serbianrescuedog

It's sleepytime for our foster dog, Nesta. I think she's pretty relaxed! #fosteradog #blinddogrescue #adoptdontshop #mastifespagnol #biggoofypooch

The Mighty, the All Knowing, Do-anything-for-mature-cheddar Helga. Dumped in a trash bin aged 5 weeks in Southern Spain, rescued and fostered until she came to us at nine months old. As I keep telling her, she's the best! #themightyhelga #belgianmalinois #dogsonbluesky #noshesnotagermanshepherd

My latest new to me book buy. I love the early fictional ghosts, vampires and ghoulies so I can't wait to dip in! (With the light on of course...) #ghoststories #gothictales #spooky #amwriting #halloween

If you're a jobbing writer like me, you'll likely have a day job or two. I work reception at a small college in Cheshire. Today we have a willow weaving day course run by Juliette Hamilton. They are making stags! Juliette's sample is ace but I quite like the crazy headless unfinished versions too.

First post! It's a pic of my history of adoption book, currently under revision with Pen and Sword for the new paperback edition out soon. Loved revisiting it with such a deep dive. And sticky tabs are the best! #adoptionhistory #amwritinghistory #timetravel #amwriting #historynerd
