It's the last day of the holidays. The decorations are down and a tip run beckons. However, this morning I want to get some more writing done on The Silent Division. I've written 15,744 words so far and I'm pleased at how this novel is shaping up.

Want to know what 2025 was like for me as an author? My latest blog post summarises all the data. It's been my most difficult year in many ways, but I am pleased with my overall progress. I've also set myself some clear goals for 2026.

My handy Goodreads reading summary of 2025 has arrived 😀 With almost 6,000 pages read I hit my reading challenge of 12 books, actually finishing 19 titles. That helped me into the top 15% of reviewers. I've enjoyed some brilliant books and I'm looking forward to more in 2026!

Although I often gravitate towards indie books, I am also a slave to mood, and 2025 was a year I attempted to catch up on many books and authors that I felt I should already know

I know the day of the Winter Solstice means daylight hours are limited but it's so dark I've had to put my Christmas lights back on. It's 10:00am.

My last review for 2025 is for Season Three of The Magnus Archives, distributed by @rustyquill.com. This is already one of my all-time favourite shows and Season Three is easily the best so far!

We're taking a break! We might be a bit less responsive over the new two weeks as we all take a bit of time to switch off over Christmas. There will still be posts going up, but we won't be checking in regularly - we'll be back in January though!
