Hello all - felt I should join this platform, now that I've deactivated my TwXtter account now (gutted).

Everybody starts with zero, right?
My teen daughter came up with a superb horror #whatif just now:

What if you knew that once you fell asleep, you wouldn’t wake up again?

Do you have any other good #whatif scenarios?

I’m thinking of bypassing #netgalley and pre releasing my next book directly on here.

Anyone keen?

Welcome new followers. Let us fall into the abyss of writing, together!

Context matters
Is This Human?

No. Shallow burial base, with no nearby bones and the location (sheep farm), makes identification easier.

Always assess the context as well as the direct evidence.

“I cannot love you any more” has two meanings, depending on which emotional state you are in. #amwriting

I need to ask authors to really consider how physically taxing and difficult it would be to drag dead weight around and dig graves. Too many books make it sound effortless

Absolutely!
Does anyone else take the estimated time left to read on their kindle or e-reader as a challenge or...? 😅 💙📚

Are you a:

- Jigsaw Writer

#amwriting - Today's task is to ensure all the salutations and sign-offs on the Attachment project are correct, or even flow more importantly.

It's interesting watching relationships develop through this process, from a formal sign-off, to more and more casual (and the reverse in one case).

Happy #caturday all.

Here’s to the Paws on the space bar, the Jaws rubbed on the monitor corner, the purr that weaves past the headphones, the blanket of love on your lap.

Thank you to @netgalley.bsky.social and #Bookcouture for the advanced copy.

It's not normally a book I go for but the blurb intrigued yours truly. I ended up having to write a #BlogPost about it.

A fantastic #quote
Finished my 1st book of 2025 🦢 “There is something strange about a moment. We can’t ever live inside of it. We live just after it. We live the moment better in trying to relive it, than in living it the first time around.” #booksky

Still keen to find some active #BookBloggers for advance copies of Attachment.

I feel this could be quite a fun unboxing opportunity for those keen...

Please do get in touch.

Follow up question: are there any crime thrriller book bloggers who would like to get a physical advance copy?
Quick question for the #bookbloggers on here - I’m planning something pretty special for my physical advance copies of my forthcoming crime thriller.

What’s the most unique advance book package/item you’ve received or would love to get?

RTs for reach greatly appreciated! #books #bookblog
