A new venture, Limpopo Press. Our initial focus is on re-publishing the works of authors either born in Sheffield or who made there homes there. Juliana Horatia Ewing was almost as famous as Charles Dickens in her lifetime. She died aged just 43 in 1885.

Send a free postcard to Premier Smith and your Alberta MLA, telling them to make polluters, rather than Alberta families, pay to clean up toxic gas wells across the province. Write your message and For Our Kids will print and deliver the postcards! postcards.cleanupyourmess.ca?utm_source=F... #ableg

So much for the claim that Alberta needs oil&gas to fund social services! Some of these companies don't even pay the taxes they owe, and the government knows it. MAGA (Make Alberta Great Again) Energy: sounds like satire, but it's all too real. #abpoli thenarwhal.ca/alberta-ener...

I was born in Alberta and I'm raising my kid here. What the province's government is doing to our environment, our democracy, our rights, our schools, and our healthcare is wrong. (Read J. Wesley's full post for great tips on speaking up and speaking out to change our province's direction) #abpoli

So let's fight against family separation in any form. It's all devastating and causes life-long trauma. Get angry about all of it! #adoption #familypolicing #immigrants

Reading on Boxing Day is my personal lifelong tradition, but this year I am frozen by indecision. So many unread books in the house. Where to start?

Check it out! Adding a couple new items to my Redbubble shop: www.redbubble.com/people/jason... (LOL my shop has a featured image like I want for Moongazing. Ah well.) New stickers and a phone case added, enjoy! And let me know if you'd prefer any of these images on other products.

If the venn diagram of coffee lovers and sticker lovers overlaps, I bet this is in there. Check it out, share this post, maybe buy a sticker!

If you enjoy atmospheric stories, lyrical writing (so I’m told) and family drama with suspense, please check out my latest novel, DARKNESS FALLS IN JAKARTA, published by Muswell Press 💙📚 #booksky www.amazon.co.uk/Darkness-Fal...

Excited for this!

#SelfPromoFriday #writerslift #booksky #kindlebooks #bookboost #authors #books Inspired after my memoir was published. Heard several say, “I have a story to tell, but don't know where to begin.” I have the blueprint and easy to follow outline. Visit my bio and books @ amazon.com/author/shann...

#SelfPromoMonday #writing #bluesky A wise cat read: “Never bet more than you can afford to lose.” Don't risk your eternal life. Be sure of your destiny when this life on earth ends. And it will. Don’t gamble on something that lasts forever. Make your reservation now. amazon.com/author/shann...

#SelfPromoTuesday #mustread #writerslift #booksky #authors I do not promote religion in the traditional sense. Written to delve into the world that lies beyond our senses. Read what some scientists say about the unknown. I am not an evangelical, a Maga or a follower. amazon.com/author/shann...

When Larkin discovers she’s pregnant after a very out-of-character one-night stand with a man who turns out to be the Greek god Apollo, she must face monsters, vengeful gods, & most terrifyingly, her feelings for Apollo to protect herself & her unborn child. #roundtablementor #A #R #F #Con #UN

Anyone else go to the bookstore and picture where your book will be one day? Since it’s the holidays, ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS would definitely be on this holiday stand, or right here, keeping up with the Joneses! #amwri̇ti̇ng #amquerying #writingcommunity

When I started writing ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS back in 2018 I had an image of what Elfin would look like but it only existed in my head. So I finally decided to have him created so I can actually look at him everyday. #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #LetsElfinGo
