To celebrate The Rainbow Lens being out for a whole week, here is a snippet of one of the more emotional moments. You wouldn't think all these feelings happened at a disco, but they do. To read the rest of it - and Lydia's response - check it out on the 'Zon and KU today!

Photography February, Day 1
A very apt one for this wintery day. St Albans, 2024. I liked the sparkle of the frost in the foreground, and how it clashed with the sunny green of the cypress.

The recipe for my extremely fluffy and very orangey scones is now available on my blog! (And no, I'm not getting embroiled in either the pronunciation debate, or the jam-vs-cream-on-first debate. Just make them!)

I don't think Bluesky has seen the dorky side of me yet. So, behold. I accidentally typed 'nose cancelling headphones' in my WIP, and now this is the image I cannot get out of my head. You can't say I don't use my graphic design skills.

I need some suggestions for a GOOD (mature) wlw book. The ones I’ve read so far have been so trash I’m convinced they were written by straight women with a lesbian fantasy 😭

Message to all creators! If Fairytale Of New York can go through several versions (including some pretty awful ones) over several years and come out near the top of the charts even 35 years later... that project you're working on now? That feels utterly hopeless? There is hope for it. And for you.

Here's another picture of the spectacular London sunset the other day. Unfortunately, it features an impostor on the left. So let's reframe it as a picture of London, featuring a real Londoner!!

Sometimes there's just nothing like reading a real, solid, honest to goodness physical book. It inspires a feeling in me that my Kindle just doesn't. Booksytocin, if you will.

Nut allergy life...
Café: sorry, all our cakes contain almond flour.
Me: ALL of them?
Café: well the only alternative is the vegan ones with pistachio...?
Me: (in my head) what part of me having a nut allergy did you not understand?
Suffice to say, not going there!

I'll be honest, it's rare that I contemplate giving up writing and taking down my books and social media, but today is one of those days. Sales and page reads down the toilet, engagement on socials down the sewer. But I won't. I'll keep plugging on. I have to.

This topic is a bit different for me; I've been sitting on it for a while. You may have wondered what my day job is - well, here's why I don't talk about it. Because I'm stuck in it. Because the job market won't let me move.
