There are two kinds of people in this world.
People who like Dark City, the directors cut.
& everyone else.
I am the former.
Watch it. You shall remember it.

Black Friday shopping has arrived! I resisted Dune for years but finally gave in when they were more than 50% off, especially since these are the size that I prefer to read. Check out how floppy they are! They’re so nice to hold! 😍

New authors! Things you absolutely do not have to pay for:
-Being published
-Being interviewed on a podcast
-Book reviews
Things you should be paid for:
-Being published
-Your time and expertise
It doesn't matter how new you are. You never need to pay to play 🖤

A bit of cosy fantasy for my 4th 5⭐️ read of 2024.
Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree.
I loved this just as much as Legends and Lattes.

Also kind of glowing at the fact that @authorkimh.bsky.social followed me on BlueSky. Such a fantastic author with a series I’ve been following for 20+ years. I love social media for this aspect alone, to connect with some of my favorite authors in however small a way.

I’m about 126 pages into my first read through. I’ve never had to really dive into editing before. I’ve noticed some small things that need changing but I definitely think I’ll need outside help to really point out the flaws in my manuscript. Time to learn a new skill. Thank the gods for coffee.

Darlington now has the lovely Queerish Bookshop - they can order books if they don't have them in stock, and they have quickly become a north-eastern treasure. 💗 www.thequeerishbookshop.co.uk
