Our beloved cat Leo is gone, hit by a vehicle. Leo was a brilliant person. Insatiably curious, always eager for the next adventure, eternally optimistic. He made my life better every single day, and we thought he’d have so many more days. I don’t have the words to describe how much I will miss him 💔

So, the next book to read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. This is book 2 in the series. I'll be reading an eARC, which I received from Netgalley. I hope that it's as good as The Silverblood Promise. And, if it is, I'll need to get a paperback copy of it. 😀 @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social

This is a beautiful novel that charts the lives and experiences of two women across past, present and future as they fight for our environment's future. Heartbreaking but ultimately - and importantly - hopeful. Also, wolves. 🐺
It lives! (Out next week but copies apparently shipping already 👀) My first UK hardback 🥰

I found that sending the manuscript to my Kindle and reading it on there really helps me spot passages that don't work, along with continuity errors and typos. I also print the first pass out (when it's typeset after the copy edit) and read it out loud. Slow and tedious, but hugely valuable.
One more day editing draft zero to turn it into draft one, aka something that's fit for an editor to read. What's your number one self-editing tip?
