Using this woodland goat I photographed today to let you know that the GOAT historical fiction writing course, taught by me for @faberacademy.bsky.social, has new dates available to book from today! Run don’t walk. Or do whatever goats do. Scamper?

If you like the flavour of this, there are still a few spots on the online historical fiction course I’ll be teaching in January! Could make a good Christmas present, or present-to-self? If you have questions about it, feel free to message me!

Hello! I wrote a little something for the @faberacademy.bsky.social site on how to go about writing historical fiction! If you’re a historical fiction writer, I’d love to hear which bits of this resonate for you:

And here’s the crochet project I’m working on at the moment. It’s for my tiny nephew. It’s going to be a broccoli but honestly doing all the tiny chain loops on the leafy tree top is driving me up the wall

Hello! I teach fiction, I write literary historical fiction, I sometimes try to write for screen, I read lots more kinds of fiction. I’m intending to use Bluesky for i) jokes, ii) spicy-hot takes, iii) curious thinking and talking about writing, iv) self-promotion (cf photograph of existing books)
