This is just one of the rather gorgeous places I spent my weekend. If this doesn't scream "children's adventure story about running away to an uninhabited island to live in a cave," to you, you had a deprived childhood.

Finally back in the saddle with the free monthly micro-reads! Phew! Get your summer shiver on with this cheesy vamp-fest horror read Flash fiction horror is always free on the website. And eventually I get around to doing an audio version too. www.fkmarlowe.com/fear-bites/b...

Ok, ok, it's pretty naughty, but there's fruit and calcium in there, right?

Had too many radishes in the fridge. Who knew radish soup was a thing?!

Good morning Bluets! Who says a healthy breakfast can’t be a little bit naughty too?! Rise’n’shine! Happy Sunday!

Just a friendly reminder. Just because you see someone stating things in a manner that seems believable, it does not mean they’re stating facts. Check their sources. Dig a little deeper. The online world serves up a lot of bullshit delivered with authority.

SIL gave me an entire pack of postcards like this, and now I need to become an elusive international criminal just so I can taunt an obsessed detective by sending them from unlinked worldwide destinations

Little is very proud of the lunch she just made herself.

Did you know there is a moderated Discord server for Stiefvater readers? Well, there is, and to celebrate the release of The Raven Boys graphic novel, they'll be hosting me for an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on the 7th of August, from 6-8pm EST.

Good morning Bluets! A very, very, very overdue bouquet for you! Blaze with glory, my lovelies!

Just started watching #Bridgerton with Middle and already haunted by the fear that when I find out who Lady Whistledown is, her arrangement with her printer will be historically implausible. The rest of the insanity I’m fine with. Yeah I know.

Good afternoon Bluets! Love that it’s the time of year Little can come home with randomly picked blooms that are better than anything in a florist’s!

Happy noon, Bluets! Not sure what this messy bunch of pretties is, but I like their style. Finding the beauty on a grey day. Xx

The more you exercise, the more 'cake' points are earned! 🙌🏃‍♀️🏆😁🤘

I was asked to come up with an "Idea for Keir". Easy. Stop arming Israel. www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2025/0...

As bad as they want to tell us the damage in Tel Aviv is, let’s not forget: ⚠️The injured are going to fuctioning hospitals with medical supplies. ⚠️Those impacted will still be fed ⚠️Nobody is shooting the paramedics. The same does not apply to those facing genocide in Gaza. #auspol

Shout out to the kind driver who stopped to let me jog past even though it was very definitely her right of way. Do you think she knew if I stopped I wouldn’t start again?! #smallactsofkindness

Good morning all! Think I should be able to do something with this rather lovely gate for a gothic book cover, no? If you’re feeling bored, feel free to photo edit me your inspo 😉

I just found out that growing onions and potatoes together can attract pests called “thrips” and suddenly I’m a character in a Harry Potter book. “Where are you off to, Mum?” “Oh, I’m just off to check the garden for thrips”.

Calling #selfpublished authors! I'm now preparing for interviews/guest posts for the upcoming Self-published Authors Appreciation Week. If you are interested, feel free to contact me. #indieauthors #bookbloggers #Authors

Rained on but still blooming. Good morning from soggy Vancouver. Apologies for being AWOL. Normal service should be resumed in a few days. Brace yourself 😉

Thank you, Carleton. As we've said from the beginning, together we can. I'm grateful and humbled by everyone who contributed to our campaign. 1/2

Shout out to the gent who wished me a cheery good morning and, gesturing vaguely as we passed in the p*ssing rain, beamed, “isn’t it a beautiful day?” I understand you perfectly, sir. 🇨🇦✨

Good morning Bluets! A cheery Tuesday to you from a rainy but happy Vancouver!

I must say, I’ve enjoyed Mark Carney’s first 100 minutes in power far more than Trump’s first 100 days.

It’s going to be amusing tomorrow - er, I mean today - when half of Canada’s got panda eyes and a desperate need for caffeine 🤣🇨🇦

Been away awhile (busy pretending to adult) but dropped back in to bite my fingernails and follow a whole bunch of the kindly sort of Canuckian. 🇨🇦 (Can’t vote as a Brit, but elbows up, lovelies!)

Hello #bluesky friends! Sending you all positive vibes from #BlueSkyMonday in #Santorini #Greece, where the contrasts of whites against the blues makes Mondays a lot easier. ©️ #meetakwolff #eastcoastkin #photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #thephotohour #PhotographersUnited #BlueskyArtShow #ArtYear

Canada let’s do this, give Mark Carney a win tonight at the ballot box Canada, faisons-le, donnons une victoire à Mark Carney ce soir aux urnes #MarkCarney 🍁💪🏻 #Canada #ViveLeCanada

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

Good morning Bluets! Another glorious one in Vancouver today! Someone remind me of this next time I’m moaning about the rain!

Good morning Bluets! A blooming beautiful week to you!

Good morning Bluets! A very #happyeaster from my potted-in-an-IKEA-bag apple tree blossoms!

Good morning Bluets! A glorious weekend to you!

Good morning Bluets! A blooming gorgeous Saturday to you! Xx

I have a trade deficit with Walmart. I buy all my groceries from them, but they never buy anything from me. So I’ve decided to set 20% of what I spend with them on fire to encourage me to make my own groceries.

Morning, rascals. Forget about staring into the Abyss today. It's time for the Abyss to take notes. 🐦‍⬛

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Damn it people! There are so many interesting photos posted here that don’t tell the story they intended. That’s what ALT is for!!

Authors with pen names - when signing books, do you sign the pen name or your actual name? If you write under several names (maybe one for adult books and one for children's books, for example), do you sign them differently? Just curious.

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

'Don't say the let there be #life thing, Master.' 'Oh, come on, Igor.' 'It's such a cliché.' 'I'm throwing a switch to reanimate this corpse, so what should I say?' 'Something else.' *FZZZZ* 'Wakey, wakey little corpsey.' 'Umm, okay maybe go back to the life one, Master.' #vss365

Ooh lovely!

Thank you to everyone who has ordered a book from us in the last 48 hours. For no reason we can fathom our abebooks orders went mad and we are on course, by Friday's end of week total, to have our best week online for years...

US Envoys arrived today and are pleading with our leaders to refrain from imposing retaliatory tariffs. We initially denied their pleas until their ambassador returned wearing a suit and thanked us for existing.

G'nite Bluesky✨ Peaceful evening to all...💕 I'll be off tomorrow bbs... #Sunset #photography
