9 yrs ago, Renaissance Press published my historical fiction 'Daughters of Britain.' I am so proud of this book. Boudicca was a remarkable woman. She had two young daughters & a people to defend against a brutal occupying force. Her story ended tragically with defeat. But what of her daughters?

@orbitbooks.bsky.social Um… my copy of Shadow of the Gods is missing 30 odd pages… Any chance I could get those sent to me?
As a treat for approaching the final stretch of publishing my new book, I now have a nice, sleek backpack instead of throwing everything into a slowly disintegrating reusable shopping bag.
When you’ve been feeling rotten all day, but get furniture you’ve been working on every so often delivered to you, and now you can display some of your swords… A good day, all told.
Dry as a bone most of my life, a beast when flooded. The Burdiken River, ladles and jellyfish.
Putting my money where my mouth is regarding supporting independent movie-makers. This will be interesting! #IronLung
When a person you know IRL makes it into a FB meme compilation post… @diannalgunn.bsky.social, you’re famous!
Ugh. Fraudulent copyright claims are a plague. Got a copyright strike on my new video (Starlings only until next Friday when it becomes public). Luckily, these folks backed down when I showed up with proof, but gods alive I hate that creators have to deal with this nonsense.
Today’s the day! It’s @canconsffh.bsky.social time! As with the past few years, a painting of mine will be offered as a silent auction to help raise funds for this awesome event. This is this year’s painting. “Still Life” Oil on canvas
Many checking sessions and blog post writing sessions went into this room. There will be many many more before can expand little Buddy’s living space. This app has been so helpful.
Had a little bit of time left over with my focus friend. Didn’t want their stitches to be dropped, so I did a bit of extra tidying. This is the cleanest my desk has been in a good while.
Welp. I definitely need to buy new MMA gloves. Next time, I’ll just use my wraps.
First session at the heavy bag for my one month training goal. Verdict: I need new gloves. Two torn knuckles on my left hand one on my right. Welp.
RIP to the very last bag of the best black tea blend I’ve ever had. I’m so sad Heart Tea Heart is no more and I can’t get more of this tea. I have treasured my remaining stash for literal years. And now it’s all gone. I grieve.
This bus, just sitting here, was due at the stop a while ago. Goddamn, I hate transit in this city. The capital of the country. What a damned joke. The class I’m attempting to get to has started, by the way. Thanks for nothing.
One of my favourite texts ever from someone reading #Skylark rn. Gave me a good giggle this morning.
My favourite genre of flower is defiant little beast that grows where it ought not.
