🦇✨ Out this week! ✨🦇

Grimogen Darkstar isn’t like other grim reapers: She’d rather rescue magical animals than spread doom and gloom!

Unfortunately for Immi, Bat-Cats are little monsters, and chaos is never far away

Hmmm… quick tips: Keep writing. Keep putting your stuff out there. Grow your rejection rhino skin. Write what you love - not what you think others will love - and you words will find their place xx

Oh! And write what you love. You will edit it SO many times, you really have to love it. Writing is re-writing and you have to have a whole lot of heart in there to keep pulling something apart and putting it back together again.

The @write-mentor.bsky.social #newsletter today is full of exciting #writing opportunities. But FW by @stuartwhitewm.bsky.social 'When the Well Runs Dry' resonated most. Last week was busy with family & needed rest. This morn I'm unusually lacking in inspiration.

My #bookstagram #bookreview of 'Mismatch of the Season by Michelle Kenney: Author
I loved this witty Regency romance - feisty female pushing the patriarchal boundaries, social intrigue, adventure, romance...perfect for Jane Austen and Bridgerton fans 😍

Front Cover of The Mismatch Of The Season by Mich Kenney - title in red font and author in white font. Cover is primarily lilac, with lilac flowers framing an illustration of a regency couple standing together but looking disgruntled. Behind them is an illustration in lilac hues depicting The Royal Crescent in Bath. The Book cover is set on a lilac coloured digital background with scroll and heart doodles framing the book cover.

My post got buried under other things - good job I found it though because look 👀 what @emmaebradley.bsky.social sent me #TheTowerOfTraitors #book 2 in The Citadel of Souls series. I have nearly finished her excellent 2nd adult book & now have this to look forward to 🤩 Thanks Emma #amreading #YA
The Tower of Traitors YA fantasy novel by Emma Bradley, in a box lined with green tissue paper and around it the yellow ribbon it was wrapped in, a bookmark & postcard. The book cover is mostly purples and turquoise, with the black outline of gothic towers and a vine with yellow flowers down two of its sides.
