Hey Blue Sky! I'm new on here. I'm a writer and filmmaker. I love genre and tend to write lots of fantasy, especially aimed at children (and the young at heart, obs.) but not only! My short films are available on various platforms. I hope to connect with storytellers linktr.ee/rjffieschi
A kid at school came up to me and said 'Ms Fieschi do you know the movie Sylphvania Grove?'
So, quite taken aback and all smiles, I said 'I do, I made that movie.'
He said he watched it on the weekend and liked it.
This absolutely made my day, still smiling about it days later 🥰

Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books

In 2023, I read 59 books.
44 were library books.
I put all those library books in a shopping cart on That Site.
It came to £401.90!!!!
And that's just for me - not my kids.
Eldest has borrowed 62 books this year SO FAR.
