Abortion, the topic I explore in my latest novel #AfraidOfTheLight , has become a fault line in the cultural wars. And the vehement debate it generates, especially from those who call the procedure murder, is vertiginous. #booksbooksbooks #booksgalore #booklover #bookcommunity

Wherever I travel I create a workspace for myself. I’m traveling for a fortnight in Spain and currently renting an airbnb in the south. Here is where I am writing my new novel this week... #booksbooksbooks #writerslife #writerscommunity #writersoftwitter #booksgalore #booklovers

Hi everyone here's my latest post 😱💡Afraid of The Light by Douglas Kennedy... A Book Blog Tour Review!!! 😱💡 thank you so much to ed public relations for this wonderful tour thank you Hutchinson Heinemann & Douglas Kennedy for this fantastic book #AfraidOfTheLight. crazedredheadblog.wordpress.com/2021/07/10/%f0…

This recent article from The Guardian points up why #AfraidOfTheLight is so timely and why, whatever your feelings about the explosive issue of abortion, resorting to violence in the alleged defense of the unborn child is simply criminal and evil. #books theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…

Here’s a thorny question – why is getting pregnant when the child is not wanted still considered a sin by so many? Why is sex which, it could be argued, is the highest form of human communication – still considered by many an act that deserves punishment? #sundaythoughts #books
