Hey, there Bubbles!

A lovely book, and part of a series!, by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social.

Coffee, my Rosemary Focaccia candle, Rainy Coffee Shop Ambiance, and my sweet kitty create the perfect reading environment for me.

If you like castles, Scotland, history, witches, stone circles and Christmas done medieval-style, you might like THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR. There’s also a love story.

Time for a cozy morning of reading Bubbles by @ailishsinclair.bsky.social while I sip my coffee and my Candy Cane candle fills the air to mingle with the Classical music. I love reading by lamplight and natural light.

Bubbles is such a fantastic book!

A Pristine Toadstool Above is the most pristine fly agaric toadstool that I've ever photographed. The perfection of it caused two people on social media to ask if it was an AI image. No. Never from me. Not in writing, editing, covers, pictures or toadstools. Why do you…

No. Never from me. Not in writing, editing, covers, pictures or toadstools. Why do you think my books take so long to write? 😀 A Woodland Wander Through the sky window we go... Under the horse chestnut tree and across the field... Past the beech tree with the mossy foot... to the next toadstool. A Toadstool Love Story…
