It’s many years since I first read The Picture of Dorian Gray and I’ve no recollection of the excellent preface written by Oscar Wilde as a response to the critics who condemned the first edition for its ‘immorality’… there are some real gems for writers and readers 🧡💚

Snow is falling in London (son sent us a video!) so thought you might like a reminder that here in Scotland we name the gritting machines and there’s a site that tracks where they all are!
My favs are Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and Spready Mercury ☃️😂

A major #authorgoal of mine is to write a book with a map at the front 🗺️

Looking forward to getting stuck into this one after I’ve visited my husband in hospital - he had a double knee replacement yesterday and is currently high as a kite on OxyContin 😂
