When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

Seeing authors' photos of their desks filled with complex plot notes and diagrams.
Me: I've no idea what the spaceship looks like until I get in it. Not the foggiest where they're going until we get there. Don't even mention plot holes; I'm letting the characters figure them out.

Midday sun at 60 degrees north 💛 On the darkest day, there is always light to be found. It can feel hard to find, harder to hold onto, but it is there. To keep and cultivate the light, to carry it into the darkness, is sometimes all that we can do #Shetland #WinterSolstice
