She sits there

His eyes closed
Her eyes open
Hands held
One heart stopped
One heart broken

The colours of autumn
A carpet of leaves
Feet and paws and claws
All walk upon
And hear them crunch

So I watched #Frankenstein on #Netflix.

Some of you may know that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is my favourite fiction book. Not only is it a trailblazer of the sci-fi and horror genres, it is also a powerful, tragic and poignant examination of humanity and morality.

This is Reem — a young woman from Gaza, sleeping every night in a torn tent.
The cold is merciless.
She wraps herself in thin layers, but the wind still cuts through.
Her hands are freezing. Her lips are pale. Her body is weak from hunger.

To speak another #language
is to stumble under new lights
forget your cues
drop your mask
My English self waits in the wings
reserved,rehearsed
the other me flails centre stage
accent jarring
massacring the rhythm of Italian grace
ancient romance of vowels & air
my mouth can’t quite learn

They shut down my account again… for no reason.
Every time I try to exist online — to speak, to ask for help, to fight for my family — they silence me.
I don’t know why.
I don’t break rules.
I’m just a young man from Gaza trying to survive.

Tanweer Dar's review of HEX
3/5: This is a confounding book. In part, it is an extremely original, disturbing and powerful horror story. But it is also somewhat convoluted, incoherent and full of prejudice (there seems to be a p...

With this in mind, if you have a question about #writing or publishing, follow me and ask it in the comments, and I’ll see if I can help.
So many opinions on writing, publishing and bookselling appear to be based on vibes and conspiracy theories. I’ve been a trad published author for 20 yrs, but I also work for an indie press AND an indie bookshop. I’ve seen publishing from all sides and I’ll always give you the facts not the bullshit

You have no idea what I go through just to get online and send my voice from Gaza…
Every time I connect, I’m cold, sick, and starving — just to say:
I want to live.
I’m not asking for much. Just a chance to survive
No food. No medicine.Just silence
