Apparently, Trump is furious about Time Magazine's new cover picture of him. So please DON'T share it, he will be furious if you do. Thank you

📕I'll be releasing my next book at this end of this month.
Lots of murder, mystery, and a real edge to it. #B:BB&B looks and feels a little bit different to anything else I've written.

More to follow . . .

So, continuing the theme of me digitally merged with famous writers, this is how AI thinks I would look as Leo Tolstoy.
I've also modernised a famous quote of Tolstoy's into me-speak :)

✍️I'm now at the editing stage of my book about Jersey's only unsolved murder. Hopefully I can finish the first edit over the next 10 days before sending it to my publisher
I wonder which obstacles will stand in my way this time, other than the usual lack of sleep and the constant interruptions . . .

If you didn't have the chance on Friday (World Mental Health Day), why not take 10 minutes this weekend to read, as part of the National Literacy Trust's campaign.
Reading is a great way to unwind, destress, boost your mood, and help improve our mental health

Someone I follow on social media made the very valid point that we seem to be spending more time worrying about Trump's reaction to not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, as we do celebrating María Corina Machado's win
She has campaigned tirelessly risking her own freedom and is not a convicted felon.

Loving the 5th season of Only Murders in the Building 🤣
This clever, inventive, and funny series is a constant joy. Basically, it's Scooby Doo for grown ups.

✍️ Some food for thought for both writers and readers 🤔
