It's been a v rough year for me with a full breakdown & trying to get back on my feet financially since then. If you come across this post it would help me *so much* if you could retweet my post above👆 about my Etsy shop-it will put the things I make in front of more eyes. Thankyou 🌿

It's #InternationalCatDay today. So let's walk around pretending we're kings and queens. Oh wait, we do that every day anyway!
Jokes aside, it's a day to celebrate cats for all their awesomeness.

Today I held the finished copy of my book for the first time. Three years (or a lifetime?) in the making, and in just a month, it’ll be in readers’ hands.

'Drystone – A Life Rebuilt' is out 7 August.

#Books #Writing #WritingCommunity #Scotland
A copy of the book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt by Kristie De Garis, propped upright on a drystone wall surrounded by bright yellow and green garden plants. The cover features five colourful stone shapes with the title text layered across them.

This week, The Times are doing a giveaway - 40 signed copies of my book! If you are a subscriber, you can enter.

I have a rubbish signature, so don't get excited about that part. The book is great though.

Screenshot of a promotional webpage for the book Drystone: A Life Rebuilt by Kristie De Garis. The page features the book cover with bold, abstract stone shapes and a portrait of the author wearing a brown jumper against a muted green background. The text describes the memoir as an unflinchingly honest and unexpectedly funny account from one of the few professional female drystone wallers in the world. It outlines themes such as racism, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and motherhood. A competition box at the bottom offers 40 Times+ members the chance to win signed copies.

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

A paintbrush lies across the page on a wooden surface.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Still trying to explain the difference to the English relatives between "cold" (Shorts weather) and "Baltic" (Not going out even with hat, gloves, coat, scarf and thermals).

Love this mural on Govan Road in Glasgow. Created by the street artist Smug and painted in 2022, it was inspired by Govan-born Peter Barr.
