Bumped into the Void. It was a bit shy and wouldn't say hello. From now on I shall be pspsps-ing into the void

It's Halloween in New Zealand, so here's a (not very) spooky pupper to wish you all the compliments of the season 🎃

Gorgeous tui at the bird hospital today. He's been released but wants to get back IN for more free food. Isn't he beautiful tho?

A birdman lives here. Only he could need that door (top right) that opens onto the roof. Then he swoops around the harbour...

From this angle you can see the door. It was quite cozy inside but Bess wasn't sure about it. Probably smelled of seals and magic 😘

Took Bess out to Makara to find the selkies had built a house on the beach.

Reminder that I set a contemporary m/m romance in this wild place (no selkies in it tho).

Mended with Gold features a photographer with PTSD falling for a comics artist much younger than him. Ebook available most places.

Oooh that's a good eel and those men should leave it alone. Reminds me of this unit I saw yesterday in Otari bush. Just chilling in the shallows. These New Zealand eels can live to be 80!

Good heavens! My odd little m/m romance reimagining of one of the most ridiculed men in English literature has over 100 reviews on Amazon!

I honestly thought about 7.5 people would read it.

Thanks everyone! 🥳

Can confirm. Mine is in the 'has come for cuddles like nothing happened' phase having done today's yelling, eating and fighting

My m/m romance Pride and Prejudice retelling MR COLLINS IN LOVE is sitting at 93 reviews on Amazon with a 4.5 star rating - that's pretty good! It's also available from Kobo, Barnes and Noble and a bunch of other places

David Bamber did a sterling job but Tom Hollander replaced him in my head as THE Mr Collins. You can tell this man appreciates a potato.

Dull and grey in the hills today but the larks were singing and all the colours were soft

Could I interest you in my latest m/m romance historical MR COLLINS IN LOVE, a Pride and Prejudice retelling from the point of view of young autistic clergyman Mr Collins. He's in love with his gardener (not valet! He doesn't have a valet) books2read.com/u/mgByoD

Apparently 8 Sept is Star Trek day so Bess celebrated with her absolute favorite show. She likes the space birbs best. And the running around.

How the cat mint died 🙄

Baby at bird rehab. Needs feeding every 45 minutes. Look how awesome she is!!

Down in the gully. Bess likes plunging into the little stream #wetdog=happydog 😁

See this? This is 53 libraries buying my m/m romance Pride and Prejudice retelling MR COLLINS IN LOVE in August 🥳 As a life-long library lover this makes me very happy!
September 2, 2025 at 7:49 PM
Is any happiness greater than the utter, utter happiness of a cat in the sun?

Monday morning. On the train to work and this view from Croftton Downs station always makes me wish I was setting off for a day in the hills with Bess...

In Katikati, looking across the estuary towards Tahawai. Getting a bit of side-eye from the locals 😂
