Finally fixed on my New Year’s resolution for 2025. It’s a tough one. I’m giving up doom scrolling. Not sure how long this will last.🙄

I’ve found myself in a fragile elderly parents - baby grandchildren sandwich. Time and headspace is precious as priorities change. It’s meant I’ve barely noticed coming off X. Feel so much better without.
My 11 week old granddaughter can raise one eyebrow. I am so jealous. Always wanted to be able to do that.

These are the two books I’ll be bridging 2024-2025 with. On Audible #ComeAndGetIt by Kiley Reid which I absolutely adore. Brilliant narration by Nicole Lewis. And #BeMine by @bylizzybarber.bsky.social Have just begun this and am completely hooked!
Exciting Christmas Book post from Datura Books. Be Mine by the fabulous @bylizzybarber.bsky.social Can’t wait to read it. 🤗
Last talk of 2024 this afternoon, in Sunbury where @janicehallett.bsky.social and I will be discussing how to craft a thriller and giving a broader look at the challenges of writing compelling crime fiction. Really looking forward to rounding off a lovely year with this.
I don’t mind a bad review, it’s part and parcel of being an author who is sadly unable to please everyone all of the time. What I do object to is when the reviewer gets all public spirited 😇 and warns others not to waste their money on this pile of💩That is trolling. I see the rot in your hearts😉
Looking forward to getting together with the West London Authors this evening. We’re a word-of-mouth & friend recommendation group from a vast swathe of West London. Authors, journalists, biographers, screenwriters. If you consider yourself a WLA & would like to be invited next time send me a DM. 😁
Just passed a beauticians offering ear candling. I don’t know what that is but it sounds gross.😬
I don’t normally cry my eyes out watching the six o’click news but the latest news out of Afghanistan is devastating. Those women and girls 😪. It’s unbearable.
A gorgeous cover for an incredible book! You're all going to love this one next year
Miranda Jewess@mirandajewess.bsky.social · 2y agoStunning proofs of #TheRush by @bethlewis.bsky.social have landed @viperbooks.bsky.social! A gorgeous historical mystery with a deep vein of gold. 💛💛💛 Authors, watch your letterboxes 👀 they’re about to go out into the world… Reviewers, I promise your time will come!
Another fantastic thriller from @nikkismithauthor.bsky.social. They Had It Coming⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Those of you who know me will know I’m very fond of an exotic holiday-themed thriller, because I don’t much like holidays. And this one didn’t disappoint.🏝️ things going badly wrong in Bali! 😱
Readers do you care whether a location in a novel is real or made up?

Our thoughts on the AI in publishing debate; we think there'll be uses for it, in the background, with the mundane, non-creative gubbins that any large industry engenders. But it should have no place in anything creative or nuanced; not proofreading, editing, designing or narrating.
This should be really interesting. Looking forward to meeting John Lincoln and hearing about his books😁

Off to see Gladiator 2 this evening. Read some bad reviews but a friend has said it’s brilliant. Trust the friend not the reviewer.

There is only one working landline in this house at the moment, and it feels like 1982.
🗡️Chuffed to bits to be sharing a panel with three such talented and lovely authors. Claire Douglas, BA Paris and I will be discussing all things bookish and murderous with SE Lynes as part of Richmond Reads literary events.🗡️ www2.richmond.gov.uk/richmondbook...

Book 7 delivered! 😀💪. What a relief. Now the wait begins... Every time I write a book I tell myself to keep it simple, and it never happens. The next book I start, I will keep simple. I said it here. It'll be two people in one room. Damn. Stephen King already aced that in Misery.
