I've been reading The House of Lost Secrets by Anstey Harris. This one hooked me right from the start and kept me dangling until the end.

After 1 hour 27 minutes on hold (number 12 in the queue), I finally get through to my GP's surgery, only to be hung up on. Grr!

Made Welshcakes, using almond flour. They don't look pretty, but they taste yummy!

This premise sounds brilliant! Can't wait!

Luisa A Jones Author @luisaajones.bsky.social · May 31

#HistFicMay Day 31. I’m already working on my next book. Set in 1939, it features Norma, an adult evacuee who is pregnant and unmarried. It explores the impact of the war on the Welsh community as well as on #evacuees. #Welshauthor #historicalfiction #amwriting #Walees #WW2

Image shows a young blonde woman, heavily pregnant, standing on a London stret in 1939. She looks troubled.

Good advice!

Fay Thompson, Author/Artist @faythompsonauthor.bsky.social · May 30

Pay attention to Taylor Swift today. She regained control over her first 6 albums.

As a writer - RETAIN your rights. Some unscrupulous publishers have crap contracts that can end your rights for a paltry sum. Be very careful out there and check Writer Beware.

There's nothing so confusing as writing Christmas books in the summer and summer books in the winter!
