Dear literary agents, I spent a year trying to get you to read past my query letter. It was hard. Most of you didn't, though I'm not mad. I understand the industry. But now my book is being read, loved, and shared by thousands. Validating? Yes. Still want to publish? Yep. #writingcommunity

Mabel says you should be writing! #cats #catlovers #writerscats #writersandcats

Then God said, I shall create cats, and I shall boop them on the nose and they will crave treats and be unsure if they wish to go outside or come in. #cats #catlovers #memes #funny

Years later, Malkie Moonpie aka Malcolm continued to snooze wherever he felt like snoozing... #thetailofmalcolm #cats #catlovers #caturday #catsofbluesky

The greenhouse had a missing pane, and one day we discovered this young chap snoozing in what had been a folded up garden chair... He never left us from that day. #thetailofmalcolm #cats #catlovers #caturday #catsofbluesky

People gathered in groups, laughing and talking. Cocktails were knocked back in massive quantities. Obviously, no one mentioned the dead. The war, Richard Dawlish reflected sipping his champagne with reluctance, might never have happened. buff.ly/2G8MeXP #cozymystery #kindle #murdermystery

New #blog post from me this week: what every #writer dreads being asked: 'So, where do you get your ideas?' caronallanfiction.com/2025/11/05/s...

The ground was a muddle of shoe prints, indistinguishable from one another. The hole in the hedge was still just a hole in the hedge. Dee was frustrated by the lack of glaring clues. Being detective was a lot harder than she’d anticipated. #cozymystery #kindleunlimited www.amazon.com/dp/B0CF6YJ8NV
