EVENT UPDATE! Unfortunately, I am no longer able to attend the Craft and Gift Market event at Guildford Guildhall tomorrow (Saturday 11th July). I had been really looking forward to trying it as a venue, but our cats are not coping well with the heat (who is?!)…
Great film. Milly is amazing. Ignore the negative reviews and make up your own mind! #Supergirl
Just watched The Day After Tomorrow for the first time in years and it feels more warning and reminder of kindness than blockbuster movie now. Worth watching.
Today is all about #humanvoicesonly. More and more parts of the publishing industry are replacing the hard work of creatives with AI narration, AI book covers, and AI words, which of course are actually based on the hard work of humans, and a lot of this has happened through… #books #audiobooks
Stay cool, everyone! The Fyn Carter books are a progressive series of six books, starting with ‘Fyn Carter and the Agents of Eromlos’ and ‘Fyn Carter and the Legends from Atlantis’. Please check them out for your summer reading and stay cool! 😎📖 #bookish #summerreading #hot #books #ad
Always appreciating a 5 star review ☺️ Thank you, bownma! #books #kidlit #childrensbooks #booklovers
I didn’t do new words today. I had a pyjama day and focused on progressing the book cover for Fyn Carter 3. It was a lot of fun and came together nicely. I just have to hope the colours etc. print well when the time comes… #book #artwork #procreate #kidlit
Today’s word count! Way exceeded what’s normal for me and set a personal best (hence the video)! N.B. This is in no way a typical word count for me, but it’s great to realise this is possible! Just need to keep pressing on :) #books #author #writing #indie #fyncarter
Today I did 882 words, which isn’t bad going considering how distracted I was by the forthcoming Nintendo Direct, thunderstorms, and in general. I didn’t write over the weekend or yesterday as focus was elsewhere (1/2) #books #author #indie #theshoecreeper
I was hopeful this would show up today, but I wasn’t prepared for the emotions that came with it! Can’t wait to find out more! 😁👏 #LegendOfZelda #OcarinaOfTime #NintendoDirect
Really enjoyed it! It's simple, fun, but nicely done! Please ignore critics and give it a go if you're interested, because I really want it to do well enough to get a sequel! 😁🗡️ #MastersOfTheUniverse
which is my absolute favourite programme, and I’m currently rewatching it again (as I have countless times). Anthony brought such life, subtle humour, and emotion to the role, no doubt like a father figure for so many. What a legend. RIP. #anthonystewarthead #giles #buffy
Came on to update my word count for the day (1,501) and then saw that the legend that is Anthony Stewart Head has passed away :-( I know he had many starring roles over a successful career, but I was properly introduced to him via the character of Rupert (Ripper) Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Back to words on Fyn Carter 3 today after an arty day yesterday. It took me a while to find my mojo (lots of procrastinating), but then I got a coffee, put on warmer clothes (chilly today), closed browser windows, and listened to some tunes (went with The Cranberries). #books #author #fyncarter
Some distractions today (like updating my author bio and looking into groundwood paper), but I kept coming back to it, and the words came bit by bit :) #books #fyncarter #author #middlegrade
Taking part in a writing challenge through June, and after a wonky start to the year, I’m looking forward to catching up on words and writing my newest book. Off to a good start today!

Anyone remember chocolate concrete from old school dinners? I’m reeeeally hoping this turns out like that!
My mum asked me draw her a picture, so it was the perfect reason to use my posca pens for the first time. I didn’t worry about technicalities etc. and just had fun with it. The end result makes me smile a lot, so I thought I’d share :) #creative #art #humanmade #soulfood #drawing
