May is a terrific editor and book doctor. I absolutely rely on her and you should too.
goddessblade.bsky.social May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 20h
I’m actively taking new editing clients!

Whether you’re stuck on a book, want help with a project idea, or simply have a manuscript you want to make the best it can be, check out my website for info about services and fees!

I can't recommend May Peterson enough as an editor, book doctor, and purveyor of thoughtful critique. I've lost count of the books we've worked on together at this point. She's my first port of call when a MS isn't coming together, because she has a literal genius for teasing out threads, spelling out issues, and otherwise spreading my tangled messes over the table in a way that makes the problem (and thus the solution) become clear. She's thorough, insightful, patient, and even phrases it nicely when telling you you forgot to include the plot. I have also worked with her as a sensitivity reader and found the experience invaluable. As a recovering editor of twenty years experience I am picky about editing to a fault, and I can recommend May without hesitation. You want her help. KJ Charles, bestselling author

Word of the day is ‘fanfaronade’ (19th century): to strut and swagger about as if you own the stage.

If you have read and enjoyed Judith Arnopp's novels you will revisit the historical characters and the world they lived in, and learn where fact ended and fiction began.

Today is International Day to End Conversion Therapy (aka #IDECT).
Conversion practices are ineffective, unscientific and cause actual harm.
Governments since 2017 have promised to bring forward a ban - but we’re still waiting.
Keep the pressure on.
Get all LGBTQ conversion practices banned in 2026.
Ban Conversion Practices (I’m a Steering Committee member) graphic: Text: Nearly one in six LGBTQ+ young people in the UK reported being threatened with or subjected to conversion practices.

This is a very abridged version of a piece I wrote for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk in 2023. “There were Africans in Britain before the English came here,” wrote Peter Fryer in Staying Power. Few discoveries illustrate this better than the Ivory Bangle Lady, a fourth-century woman buried in Roman 1/5

In 2087, a message from deep space warns Earth a harbinger of doom is hurtling towards our planet. It also outlines a plan to save us, but at what cost? Is it a hoax, or a trap, or will we indeed soon face extinction—unless we agree to the ‘Alliance’s terms? #BookSky #SFF amazon.com/dp/B0F82Y9S7X
