Free ebook Starting today!

Starting tomorrow and ending Saturday, to celebrate National Adoption Week, my ebook will be free to download and keep from Amazon - “Baby Steps” - an uplifting novel about different ways to form a family & thriving as a parent with a disability amzn.eu/d/chDgFB5 #NationalAdoptionWeek

I’ve found all this fascinating since doing a module on space in CSE* general science in 1982. It’s mind boggling, isn’t it - (can anything else be “boggled” or is it just minds?) It’s sort of responsible for me writing sci-fi comedy *not a typo for GCSE, rather an indication of how old I am 🤣

Dr Bookworm gets bossy (contains the f word) about the phrase ‘query trenches’, but only as a starting point. Do think about the language you use; it can have an impact on how things feel and how you cope, I would say. Querying is challenging but publishing is a long road: take less luggage 💙📚

Wonderful!! Thank you @bookwormvaught.bsky.social

Never mind my #Decade goal, now I’m going to have to make it as a writer to get on House of Games! I want that @richardosman1.bsky.social luggage! 🧳 👓
