My Gothic novel, A Moonlit Path of Madness, is three today!🎂 It's still my favourite child, partly because it's set in my heart place in Newport #Pembrokeshire.☺️ #wales #booksky
If you're yearning for a bit of escapism, the kind of story that will lead you on a fantastical journey throughout Europe, then Death of a Clown will provide just that. Link: mybook.to/DeathofaClown #summerread #BookLovers #booksky
My concentration hasn't been the best of late, but I'm pleased to say my current read is holding my attention and then some. Loving it! #booksky
My neighbour just popped by with a gift of home grown peonies for me. No reason, just a kind gesture, and very much appreciated.🙏❤️

One can't help but be swept away by @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social prose and unsettling storytelling. I never quite felt firm on my feet in this novel, rather that I was floating in a dreamlike state through the pages. A superb ghost story and mystery. Highly recommended atmospheric tale. #booksky

I know, I know... I'm always sitting in graveyards! 🪦 Surely I have a good excuse this time since the title includes the word 'Buried.' 😄

Treated myself to these beauties. 😃 If Land is anywhere near as good as Hamnet, I'll be thrilled. As for The Buried Giant, I'd already read the eBook, which was so beautiful it made me cry. I just had to buy a physical copy! #books
