Opened my emails this morning to find this message from a client. She'd also given me £100 extra as a thank you.
I love my job, and writers are the best!
(If you're writing a novel, I'm always happy to do a sample edit so you can check out my work. See my website for details helenafairfax.com)

It's coming up to Hallowe'en. What's the scariest novel/short story you ever read?
Here's my three:
1. The Shout, by Robert Graves
2. Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? by Joyce Carol Oates

What books have kept you awake at night?

Earlier this week I was at a brilliant event at Shipley Library with author Olivia Potts, about her book on grief and patisseries, A Half-Baked Idea.
The event was free, with tea and mouthwatering buns provided by a local bakery. How lucky we are to have free local libraries! ♥️🥰📚

Amazing to stand on the moors in bright sunshine this morning, looking down on the clouds over the town

Lovely to see the stories of three friends in the @peoplesfriendmagazine Christmas special! 🌲⭐ Looking forward to reading @kateblackadder.bsky.social, Jacqui Cooper and Rosemary Gemmell after I've put my tree up. The perfect start to Christmas!

Today Max met up with his bossy older brother Angus, of the cute eyebrows. (Max is telling me 'Don't let him get my football...')

Beautiful rainbow after #stormbert 🌈 The ground is sodden and muddy, but at least the sun's out...for now!

My latest knitting project, from a 1960s pattern. My mum had a whole collection of these patterns, and made me an entire wardrobe 💙🩷

Happy anniversary to the #PrinceandPrincessofWales. Also 13 years since I decided to knit my own royal wedding...

It's lovely to see so many people giving copies of our anthology to their loved ones. No 1 in 'Gifted Romance'! Miss Moonshine is still weaving her magic ✨💜
If you're looking for a gift for Easter, or 'just because', why not give our stories a try?

Today we took Lexi walking round East Riddlesden Hall. The snowdrops and hellebores look stunning 💙
