Yes, I know it's time to write but I made the mistake of opening a book and now with two terriers snoozing next to me, all I want to do is read.

Books I never thought I'd read: The history of smuggling. Ever since childhood I've had a fear of pirates and smugglers but my fictional witches won't listen. They're insistent I need these for a future book. Who knows what horrifying adventures they're planning - I don't 😂 #amresearching #writing

I feel so lucky to have an arc for Old Crones Club by Jennifer Taylor-Gray
It promises to be everything I love in #witchlit and since I've now entered another decade and hair going silver I'm embracing old cronedom.

Just read the book 2025 needs - Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance by Jane Harrington. Despite my love of fairy tales and studying children's literature for a while, I never knew the true origins of fairy tales in 17th century and the conteuses/female storytellers behind them.

I'm so excited to hear this news. Our Gifted Hearts - a debut by the talented Jennifer Kennedy is heading our way in October 25
Described as a gripping revinvention of a classical tale, blending dark intrigue with the gothic feel of Mexican Gothic and The Silent Companions I can't wait to read.

I'm back to writing magic and witchcraft 😊 The heart of this manuscript is home but fragrance seems to becoming important. What is your favourite duo or trio of smells? Those that make you happy with just a whiff, those which evokes memories, love or describe you?

Gluten free food is always expensive and often boring but £4 for 8 tiny truffles is a tad ridiculous @tescoofficial.bsky.social
No matter how nice they maybe the price can't be justified to be bought again.

Just finishing a read through of a beta read - fans of Heart of Stone by Jessica Haines are going to love it when it's out - and eating a sticky toffee tart. Pure caramelised perfection.

It's been a cosy festive read week with Phillipa Ashley Sue Moorcroft and nearly Cressida Maclaughlin. They're making me feel Christmassy and the need for hot chocolate and fairy lights
