This is sad. On a day when I could have been writing my second novel, I'm instead packaging up copies of my debut that I paid to have printed - because of the collapse of my publisher, Neem Tree Press, taken over by Unbound. I felt none of my friends who preordered it should be out of pocket.

I've always had Samsungs but now my work has given me an iPhone and I need a 10-year-old to show me how to use it. For starters, switching it off is always a struggle, taking me at least half a dozen goes.

Exciting news about my debut novel. I finally have a copy in my hands (yay!) despite the demise of my publisher @neemtreepress.bsky.social. It's complicated. Here's why: jane-dalton.com/book-blog

How serious are these warnings? Will my PC crash or is Norton just trying to scare me into buying more stuff?

I have no idea whether there's a real danger to my PC here or whether it's just Norton trying to sell me things. Does everyone with Norton get the same sometimes?

To my delight, a women's book club has been set up in my town. This is our first read - and it's not an easy one. Malala Yousafzai, famously shot by the Taliban, recalls in vivid detail how evil took over the beautiful place where her family lived, the Swat valley in Pakistan. (Pic: Wikimedia)
