Today is publication day for my Novella 'Hotel'. I have spent much of the day in A&E with my daughter who has appendicitis and is now scheduled for surgery. I haven't been about much today and probably won't be for the next few days. Please DM any queries.

Great post about 'publication day' from Charlotte Duckworth / Rixon | Author charlotteduckworthstudio.com/blog/book-publ…

MY first review for 'HOTEL' and it's a five star!

I've just finished reading #ProphetSong by Paul Lynch Fabulous writing, but it's bleaker than my own #WaterAndBlood which is, in one review 'unremittingly bleak'.

Another great post from Charlotte Duckworth / Rixon | Author I recommend her newsletter, honest and informative. charlotteduckworthstudio.com/blog/debut-aut…

Where's the fun in that? The absolute best time to add "dis".

Absolutely.

Well deserved. #ProphetSong is a fabulous book.

Looking forward to this . . . why and how it took me 10 years to get my debut novel The Trail published 'a pacy and intelligent thriller' (Paula Hawkins) CE Libraries #macclesfield

Would Social Media be a lot more social if politics were banned? I've lost count of the number of politicians I've muted (and there acolytes).

It's my "anniversary". Here's a post. Mostly I miss the functionality of twitter, that's why I'm not here much. If anyone knows how to improve it, let me know. Oh, and watch out for "Guy Farley and the Daughters of Isis" coming soon.

This "social" media platform is utterly useless as a source of "news". Besides closing my account and leaving, what other strategies might cleanse my timeline of this content?
