This recluse went out for pleasure today 😊
A walk...

Followed part of the route in Nightjar.

Across the railway bridge.
New graffiti.
Found old friends fallen.
Windbreaks,
And fires,
Offerings to Bavarian Gods;
Fore returning to old roads cut.
And home.

Just realised...

I miss the Open University programs of the 70s on BBC2. Always something to watch when there was fcku all else on.

Today Bilbo Black Cat went o'er the rainbow. She was fifteen years old and a very good friend who stayed by my side all the time I was ill (mad) and then went on to write three books with me in the shed - my ever present companion.

Travel well old girl x

After the Zuckerberg drama of dropping fact checks I'm now flitting between Threads and here more often...

And,
I have to say,
I'm really liking here.
I guess it's about getting used to it.

Sometimes working early mornings as a cleaner is cool; you get to bring home lucky finds before the customers get in there...

Handmade in wood and metal...

Hello BlueSky...

I write dark, liminal, speculative fiction that toys with folklore, magical realism, and horror. But there's light too. Always light. This I tend to find in the magic of nature as I play with form, words and unusual characters.

"It brings dark light to Sandye, candles black. Nightjar knows the boys will follow. It is written in the song..."

Red Dragon Insider landed in my email today and this was a nice surprise.

Nightjar was the author S.C. Eston's favourite book of 2023 😊

So if you fancy something a bit different, a bit wyrd in a Celtic folkloric sort of way, its free on KU and also available to buy on Amazon >> mybook.to/Nightjar

Been a while since I did a post, it being hibernation season and all, but I bit the bullet with Ridley Scott's latest historical offering.

I have no idea what I'm doing....

This mantra and dedicated focus on being quite clueless has actually got me through life so far in fair fettle, but now with Threads, Twitter, BlueSky and the Elephant all happening at once it's kinda come back to haunt me.

I've started writing my blog again and here is a recent post about: A Walk with Weird in the Wade and a Lost Castle >>> https://www.modquokka.com/single-post/a-walk-with-weird-in-the-wade-and-a-lost-castle

Yep, you read that right.
