Michael said this about The Jacobites Plight, book 2 in The Jacobite Trilogy: ‘Your themes are wider and more interesting by having a large, diverse, cast who are interested in love, money and status and not in fighting battles.’ @bloodhoundbooks.bsky.social
Today is publication day and #TheJacobiteTrilogy is complete. I’m so proud of them all but especially #TheJacobite’sHeir Many thank to @bloodhoundbooks.bsky.social for their endless energy, professionalism and positivity.

Who could forget the financial crash of 2008? Certainly not Alice, who endured the simmering collapse of world finance as the background to her tumultuous personal life. @bloodhoundbooks.bsky.social

Two books came out in April which have an important focus on girls' and women's experiences. There is much more to be done on expanding the voices heard but I feel encouraged that this is happening.
I can’t wait to read this!
Suzanne Zeedyk@suzannezeedyk.bsky.social · last yr.Next week: This book is finally out! I am proud to have contributed a chapter in which I say: "I wish we could talk more often about denial." Nicky Moxey has worked hard to bring this book to fruition. She deserves all the celebration coming her way. @axrenton.bsky.social @moragedwards.bsky.social
I love talking about the Rupture-Repair Cycle. It helps parents relax. You do not need to be in constant sync with your child. This 2024 article underlines that point. Quote: "The flow of connection, disconnection & reconnection that offers an ideal mixture." www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...
Why parents shouldn't always be 'in sync' with their children
Parents are often advised to be constantly attuned to their children and to respond to their every need. But is this always the right approach?

Thank you so much Suzanne. Your appreciation of my book means a great deal. For those who are confused, I also write under the author name Isobel Ross!
Suzanne Zeedyk@suzannezeedyk.bsky.social · 2y agoIn a conversation this morning, the book Almost Boys by @moragedwards.bsky.social came up. We were reflecting on the importance of hearing women's voices in the boarding school survivors' movement. I said I thought her book makes an excellent contribution to this gap.
I think it is really really hard for most of us to imagine that the daily events of our infancy shape who we are in our adulthood. We just can't imagine that it matters that much. And yet...it does. Infancy matters. Practical take-away: Pay attention to babies' emotions.
This morning I was told that my daily use of social media last week was three hours a day. The only way forward is to assume they’re lying.
