BIG THANK YOU, to Southampton City Libraries who are now stocking ‘The Shoe Creeper’ in six of their libraries along with the first two Fyn Carter books. Libraries are such important places and parts of our communities. I’m very grateful that my books can be found there 😁📖

Each year we buy one or two decorations for the tree each, usually from our travels so we remember good times when we decorate the tree each year.
This year we have a robin and seagull from Menorca, a lizard bauble from Gran Canaria, and a dinosaur from a local market. Feeling grateful.

Today’s Christmas Craft and Gift Market was a goodun! Thank you everyone who stopped by and purchased books. It’s really great to see how many people support indie, and I’m grateful for the well wishes. I hope you/the recipients of the books enjoy them! :)

I’m currently on a writing retreat and having a lovely time, but the first three days have been super focused on reading Fyn Carter and the Legends from Atlantis (Fyn 2) and making notes in advance of planning the rest of the series.

I haven’t posted monthly goals for a little while, but now I’ve started planning Fyn Carter 3, I’m going to return to them to share the journey. I’m currently reviewing Fyn 1-2 to make clear notes I can more easily refer back to. Ginny is of course helping (she loves sitting on an open notebook).

I wasn’t sure what to post for Halloween, but I found this pic yesterday that I’d taken a while ago, and it seems to fit the foot!
If you’ve been reading The Shoe Creeper in real time (or have already finished), you know it’s all about to kick off for Ethan and his friends!
