three followers away from 1000? How did that happen! Who will be my 1000th Blue Sky follower ... I post nonsense about books, reading, my gorgeous cheeky cockapoo, and um, that's about it!
I've done a reel about my new book deal with the amazing @theboldbookclub ! I'm very happy. In fact, I am currently happy dancing about my office. No video of said happy dancing will be forthcoming. www.instagram.com/p/DMH65eENyM7/
So @scbwi.bsky.social is unilaterally splitting up the British Isles into 4 regions, without discussion or consultation, without consideration or respect. While I'm shocked and saddened, I'm also not surprised. Bye, SCBWI, but not my SCBWI-BI friends, who will remain an important part of my life.
It's publication day! One summer on a beautiful island could change everything… Grab your copy of #OverTheSeaToSkye now! amazon.co.uk/Over-Sea-Sky...
I'm at that stage in writing a new book where I want to grab every passerby and say, READ THIS, I LOVE IT. This stage will soon pass and be replaced by, OMG THIS TOTALLY SUCKS.
could it be that the orange one has actually done something that led to something that doesn't totally suck - as in, the reaction in Canadian politics & their election? I am a Canadian citizen, though from afar for a long while. Interesting times. Interesting article - observer.co.uk/news/interna...
How Canada rediscovered patriotism, thanks to Trump
Canadian flags and the national anthem are back in fashion after the US president's '51st state' remarks served to heighten our sense of identity

hayfever - UGH. Is it just me or is it worse than usual this year? (in England)
Nooooo …. I haven’t posted here in almost a month?! Soz. What’s up? *listening face*
I started playing Pickleball a while ago - I think I've been five times now. And today, for the first time, I felt like I could actually play - not brilliantly, but well enough to have a game of doubles and enjoy it. YAY me!!
Thank you, Canada, for standing with Ukraine 🇺🇦 ”Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine (…) Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just & lasting peace.”
is it just me who spends five million years (ish) rewriting the first chapter, and about five minutes (ish) on the rest?
Another book review for 2025! Is it cheating because I’ve read it before? I definitely got more out of it this time around, and now heading into the woods with my main character… 5⭐️
to wine or not to wine, that is the question… (context: annoying day, but feel like might be getting a cold, so 🤷♀️)
