Hullillumination is an annual event in Hull organized by the Hull Lifesaving Museum. Hundreds of flares are simultaneously lit around Hull Harbor and the scene is simply breathtaking 🔥

Lucky me got an Advance Reader Copy of Murder Takes A Vacation by @lauralippman.bsky.social 📚 Reading this one to my husband, who can no longer read due to Alzheimer's. We thoroughly enjoyed the first few chapters last night and looking forward to plunging back in tonight!

My dad has aphasia due to Alzheimer's & can only say "yes" and "no." He was a singer. I hung with him this weekend & this happened: he was able to verbalize & sing the lyrics to songs he used to perform. Happy he has retained this ability. Sad that he has been robbed of his gift to perform.

Lew and I are victims of Meta's skullduggery to train their AI systems! My novels & Lew’s short stories have been pirated without permission & without compensation 😡 My advice to writers: write from your heart, not from a machine . . . it's actually rewarding to know that every damn word is yours.

I’m just Irish by marriage but my husband Lew McCreary is the real deal ☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ He was one helluva brilliant writer whose talent was stolen by Alzheimer's.

Happy π Day . . . especially to the fabulous PieLadyBooks who designs pie crust inspired by book cover art. Here's the one she did for my book!

My husband's latest novel THE 13TH STEP is on sale for only 99 cents!! "Fiendishly clever!" “Devilishly entertaining!” "Ingenious premise!" If you’re drawn to tales of revenge that explore our darkest impulses, then I hope you’ll check out his latest novel.

Hands down, best Valentine’s Day movie. #somelikeithot

Who doesn’t love curling up with a fascinating crime story? How about two crime stories? Lew has been writing, well, forever, while I got going later in life. He has been my mentor & writing coach. Lately, I have been his advocate & caregiver. 💕Check out our latest crime and mystery novels...

Back to reality after a glorious vacation in Uruguay & Argentina! And back to doing what authors have to do... hawk their books! The paperback version of THE SUMMER OF LOVE AND DEATH will be released this summer & Barnes & Noble is running a pre-order promotion! Snag it today, read it this summer!

Browsing Libros del Pasaje in Buenos Aires and came across the Spanish version of the book that inspired me to try my hand at writing a novel. A must-visit bookstore! @stephenking.bsky.social

Last night in Uruguay, watching the setting sun kiss the water. Heading to Buenos Aires, Argentina tomorrow morning.

While cleaning out Lew's old file cabinet, I came across this letter from an author who contacted Lew about how much she loved his 1991 novel, The Minus Man. Because Lew has Alzheimer's he doesn't remember receiving this letter or who she is. Anyone know her? A google search tells me she is 92.

The annual Hull Bonfire was lit 🔥 This usually takes place on Thanksgiving but was postponed due to drought conditions. It’s a fabulous town tradition that brings the community together.

As 2024 comes to a close, just a quick reminder that my husband, Lew, is donating 100% of his royalties to the Alzheimer's Assoc. With your purchase, you are supporting a cause that is near & dear to our hearts . . . and our brains. And the best part . . . you receive a brilliant crime thriller!

What a year of reading! I wish I had the time to devour more books, but to have read (or listened to) 57 books is quite the accomplishment for me this year. Many of these books I read aloud to my husband, Lew, who has Alzheimer's. I can't begin to tell you how rewarding that was for both of us.

Lew completely immersed in Handel’s Messiah with his new Beats 🎁 🎄💜 He can no longer read because of Alzheimer’s so this is a great way to keep him engaged with what he loves: music, podcasts, audiobooks 🎶

A rare sighting! Three swans hanging out on the icy Weir River Estuary behind my house. Just need four more for "seven swans a-swimming!"

Oh no! 😲 It's down to the wire and you still haven't gotten a gift for that mystery lover in your life! No need to panic! Because you know what makes a great last-minute gift? Ebooks! Or even better . . . 3 ebooks!!!

On the winter solstice we displayed these luminaries on our porch to raise Alzheimer’s awareness. I’m a little late posting our "light the night" display, but we are fighting all year long to #ENDALZ 💜 You can find our fundraising page at act.alz.org/goto/mccrear... 🙏🏻
