What’s your first book of the year? I’m reading the play August: Osage County by Tracy Letts. Loved the film with Merrily Streep and Julia Roberts and am planning to expand a short play of mine this year.

Please, if you are able, support Indy publishers.

As the big 5 buy up all the book shelves with their astronomic discounting.

It would be grand if you could look at.

🏴‍☠️📖 Quite pleased and surprised that the German version of The Mariner’s Legacy (Das Erbe des Seefahrers) has been made available for free as an #audiobook by the Berlin Blindenhörbücherei (BHB), an audio library for #blind and visually impaired people.

Your favourite punctuation says a lot about you:

— always interrupting people

; looks for connections in vaguely related things

, will tell you a 25min story that could've been told in 2

... trails off and forgets what they were saying

. has no time for anyone's shenanigans

As I’m currently writing a historical novel set in 1880 Australia, I thought I share a great websites to research historical life, news-worthy events, and immigration records for the great Down Under.

I know there's been a lot of talk about not buying books from Amazon, but also how that would hurt so many indie authors who rely on Amazon and KU.

One thing you can do to counter that is request your favorite indie book at your local bookstore and library! Make noise about those books!

I’m binge watching Page One - The Writer’s Podcast on YouTube at the moment while knitting all my leftover wool into a large blanket. Highly recommend this podcast series with lots of interesting writers, agents and editors.
