It's true! Whatever form of prose or poetry we cloak it in, we're all working on our own stuff.
Where do you see your deepest self peeping through in your work?

Happy Wednesday! Here's a #BookQW snippet from my forthcoming #historicalromance novella, "Stranger at the Crossroads."
Halloween-themed graphic. Gray background with spooky black tree branches in all four corners. At the bottom, a pumpkin-headed scarecrow stands among gravestones. In the center of the rectangle, black text reads: “Ghost?” She arched her eyebrows. “I thought we established that there was no ghost at the crossroad last night.” “Indeed.” He added a generous helping of milk to his coffee. “However, Hethersleigh Hall is said to be haunted by a ghost called the Veiled Lady. It is rare that anyone actually sees her, though. Most of the time she contents herself with opening doors, moving objects about, and making noise in the middle of the night.”

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is SELF. What is space opera without a little mystery also? A plucky survival story may be just a little too pat. #bookqw #spaceopera www.benjeapes.com/index.php/ph...

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'self' #BookQW
#Booksky 📚💙
Dan Mackmain's on holiday with his girlfriend Fin and seeing Stonehenge with his own eyes for the first time. He's going to see a whole load of new things...
Out on 30th October from Wizard's Tower Press
wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/book...
Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those. Book extract reads: With Fin scanning and me packing, we got quickly through the self-checkout. I retraced our route through the retail park’s roundabouts. Back on the main road, I realised we were heading pretty much straight due west. I lowered the windscreen visor to cut the glare when the late-afternoon sun shone through gaps in the clouds. Fin took her sunglasses out of the lightweight backpack she uses instead of a handbag. ‘Where are your shades?’ ‘In the boot, in my hiking backpack with my water bottle and the map.’ If I’d thought about that, I could have got the sunglasses out when we stopped at the superstore. ‘Do you want to pull up somewhere?’ Fin looked ahead for a lay-by or a parking spot. ‘I’ll be okay. Let’s get on.’ The traffic had slowed dramatically, and I wondered why. Then I spotted signs to Stonehenge,and as the road narrowed to a single carriageway, we saw the ancient monument straight ahead through the windscreen.
