the idea is not all that counts. the idea is nothing at all until it has been lassooed, corralled, mutated, shuffled, blended with other ideas, and then expressed over the medium of however many thousand words that you have selected and arranged as best you can. the idea is a promise, not a book.

The opening sequence of the (original) Clangers and my favourite film A Matter of Life and Death, are eerily, delightfully similar.
The first episode of The Clangers was originally broadcast on this day in 1969.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and you, friends and neighbours, can do so too by following this thread down to the end whete you'll find purchase links. Super-complicated family dynamics! Exhausted protagonists striking out against restrictive gender norms! CHEESE!!
A BLOOMY HEAD is my first historical romance, set in 1820 Shropshire. Dr. Thomas Holyoke has been unceremoniously ejected by a horrible injury from the British military, and finds himself being taken home to the chaotic family of his surgical assistant, Henry Gravenor.
hey! Lovestruck Books currently has ONE copy of A Bloomy Head left on the shelves!

I think many of my friends and neighbours will already be following Paul, but just in case you're not - here, have a thread of beautiful, soul-cleansing photography.
Feel like I need to deploy some photography for a mood break. I do need to process photos from the trip I just did (all credit to @bryanhansel.com for leading an excellent workshop even if conditions weren't what we wanted), so these will be from the past. I'd add as I have time and there's interest

Sigh. Once again, things you think are ridiculous or wasteful are often meant to or happen to help disabled people. Forearm pan holder? Not because people are lazy. Tide pods? Have you tried pouring detergent with a tremor?
Don’t get me started on the damned pre-cut ingredients.

All these books are excellent, but I must especially big up SOME BODY LIKE ME which, for a book about a robot in which humanity is gasping its last breath, is surprisingly filled with hope.

The little paperback of Titanchild is out today, bringing to a close the Talon duology 🦅🐉🗡️💖
This one was a wild ride...but I got through it. And enough people have contacted me to tell me how much they loved my soft assassins & gay griffin dads that all the scrambling and wailing was worth it 😂
