I want to bring out a new thriller & since I've had no luck with publishers, I think it'll have to be all me. Will you support me?! I also need maybe 1 more reader after making some changes. Any takers? Would love someone who loves or writes thrillers. #WritingCommunity #ThrillerWriters

I was re-reading this book and love this poem by Lucy Dawkins. #PoetryCommunity

Sometimes for a thriller writer, true crime stories really do act as a good muse 😂 It's frightening really. #Thrillers #AuthorsOfBluesky

Editing: I love sending my works in progress to my e-reader and reading it like an already published book. Have you tried it? Helps me spot loads of errors 😂 #Writing #AuthorsOfBluesky #Editing

When Briony Campbell confesses to killing her boyfriend, a straightforward crime turns into a baffling mystery. Haunted by demons from his past, lawyer SJ Robin is assigned to the case. But as confusion – and the body count – rises, he’s forced to question who is guilty and who is innocent.

Nearly completed a poetry collection that I'm hoping to send somewhere by the end of this month. Keep your biros crossed! 🖊 #PoetryCommunity

The Handmaid's Tale is meant to be fiction, you guys. Did someone file it in the wrong section again? 🤦‍♀️ #HandmaidsTale

Thank you to @alcs.co.uk for the yearly payment for secondary usage - always such a lovely surprise and a welcome addition! Probably more than I've made in royalties for the last 2 years, let alone 1 year! #ALCS
