Let's all grab our tents and camping gear and go set up villages in the bush and grow our own food and sing around campfires and see a night sky full of stars every night 🩷

It's a cosy, rainy weekend here in South East Queensland 🌧 and what better way to spend the days than with a hot drink, a warm blanket and a good book 📚

If you're a fan of a dark & mysterious tale, check out Curse of Perdition at 👇

www.shanlscott.com

A photo of the book Curse of Perdition by author Shan L Scott lays on a white table. A cup of hot chocolate in a blue bug, and a pair of reading glasses with clear frames sit next to it. A bookmark peeks from the top of the pages.

Two different books, with two different themes, both exploring the light and the dark sides of human behaviour. Within these pages you'll find love, loyalty, betrayal, despair... and hope.

Which will you choose?

My neighbours are having a little get-together, and hearing them all laughing and so happy is just wonderful. It's those kinds of moments that are important 🩷

Watching The Canterville Ghost from 1996. What a blast from the past!

I used to blunt the edges of the stories I'd recount about my youth, I didn't want to upset the people who had harmed me. Now I understand that my truth is all I own, and I don't owe those people the consideration they had no desire to afford me. It's time to raise my voice.

I love how my cat gets the dreamiest, most loving look in his eyes when I pat him, and then immediately cleans his fur where I touched him when I stop 😆🥹

Often times when we listen, and others start to heal, it heals something with ourselves as well 🩷 giving a little of our hearts, our time, can create massive change for everyone.

I've been asked on several occasions by non-bookish folk why I have so many books, and why don't I just get a kindle or read ebooks. I have several replies. The first is that I love the experience of reading a physical book. The second is that books look nice and they make the room feel cosy. (Cont)

I had a little fun this weekend recording the first chapter of my short story - Welcome Home. I wrote this piece for an anthology and have decided to release a chapter a week as a free audiobook.

Highly recommend watching 'Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones', on Netflix. We can all learn a thing or two I think.

I feel like a really good investment to make in this day and age is in heirloom seeds. Fruit, veg, herbs, medicinal plants. Time to get planting, no matter how small your garden is. Every bare patch of soil is an opportunity to grow food.

Apparently there's a new Mandela effect that says John Jarratt was NOT in Play school, and he says he wasn't in it, and I feel like my whole childhood was a lie 😆

Taking some time out from reality today and re-watching 'The 4400' for the first time in 20 years. I wish they wrote TV like this these days. Good stuff!

Stay safe with the heat today, my #Aussie friends. Put water out for wildlife and check on your elderly neighbours.
