Someone near me has painted a Saint George's Cross on a flytipped lazyboy.

Off to London! It's going to be a hot one. I've got a couple of hours to kill when I arrive and normally I would go for a long walk, but today I think all I'll be able to manage is a pub garden. 😅 Does anyone know a nice sunny spot in Notting Hill??

If like me you've ever been accused of being born in a barn and want to chat about it, remember: my door is always open.

Hot debut alert! It's one month until the release of this incredible debut thriller from the unstoppable creative force that is @sarahgovett.bsky.social I've read it, and BELIEVE when I say this book has everything you could ever want from a psychological thriller.

I'm on a train! To London! For no other reason than to catch up with a bunch of brilliant writers. Lovely stuff

Well done to everyone who has completed dry Jan. I reckon I will be cold in the ground before I pull that off. Genuinely impressed by those who have done it

Today's my last day editing my first book. What should I be doing? I hope being in a state of useless panic is the right approach because that's all I've achieved so far

Following the recent dicussion about profession/niche interest inaccuracies in fiction and on screen, as an ex criminal lawyer, I thought a video on everything wrong with screen portrayals of defence solicitors might be helpful. vm.tiktok.com/ZGdA1TpBu/

£1 deal alert! You're welcome ☺️

A good writer will never bullshit you

Who do we think will be the biggest celeb to announce a career as a fiction writer this year? I'm convinced it’s only a matter of time before Brooklyn Beckham drops a cosy mystery

Snow here in Bristol! Probably time to put away that sun lounger

2024 has been an exciting year for me. I got taken on by my first choice agent. I got my first book deal. But even better than that...

I've got a deadline in six days. So, naturally, I've decided now's the time to buy a bull fiddle and learn how to play it

I warned my wife the tattooist was no good and sure enough she came back with disappointment written all over her face.

A lovely thing about Black Doves is they cast an up and coming children's author in the lead ☺️

Incredibly proud of the legend that was Tom Morris. Tomorrow the Sunday Times publishes this wonderful tribute to our friend, who gave so much of himself to improve the sport he loved and make rugby safer for the players. A hero indeed. www.thetimes.com/sport/rugby-...

My 7yo just described the wind as meowing. And he was right, too

My thriller, The Murder Hypothesis, is only 99p on Kindle! How do you catch a murderer without knowing who the victim is? Perfect for readers who enjoy twisty YA mysteries, murder and STEM! #Harperfirebooks @harpercollins.bsky.social

Writers, have you ever solicited feedback on a novel and found one person's favourite part is another's most disliked? And what do you do with this information? #booksky

I loved this one from @manylittlewords.bsky.social It's a must for fans of du Maurier or anyone who's on the hunt for something chilling that can be downed in one shot

I've seen a fair bit of chat suggesting Gregg Wallace's alleged behaviour amounts to harmless banter. Here's a reminder of how Gregg reacted when he was on the receiving end of some similar 'banter' at a Dinner with Gregg Wallace event in 2013

My time travel romance, Meet Me On The Bridge, is only 99p on kindle this December! 🎄🎄🎅

Is this true? Has the semicolon gone out of fashion? Do I need to examine my relationship with them? A semicolonoscopy?

Have you deactivated your X account? I want to, but wonder if the more pragmatic thing to do is leave it dormant in case I need it again. On the other hand, I hate what it has become so much...

IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU is currently 99p on Kindle for their Black Friday deals. It’s a crappy day today so a perfect reading day!

I also love to see what writers get up to when they close the laptop. I like to improvise music, mostly on guitar and in the old American styles - #tradcountry #rockabilly #westernswing #jumpblues #jazz I love it all

Still plenty of room in my Starter Pack for book bloggers/reviewers! If there is anyone I need to add, let me know. (Yes, you can nominate yourself 🥰)

I have put together a starter pack for an author group I'm in. Lovely authors of all flavours and varieties. Like an author multipack. But without the weird chickeny ones that no one ever eats. #booksky #books
