#Author, #writer, dad, cat and dog owner, more than a list of things. Probably. #Books : Beat The Rain, The Pursuit or Ordinary and Life, Slightly. Working on 4th novel, first in a new series.
Throwback to my second novel in Waterstones with it’s not great first cover.

This makes it look like my life isn’t a right old shit show.

✨ Is this the most underrated book you’ve never read? Probably. Let’s change that. #ThePursuitOfOrdinary by @NigelJayCooper is waiting for you. Trigger warnings, Man Booker noms, and big feelings inside. Don’t miss it! ✨

💔 Love, loss, and life’s messy twists – it’s all here in *Beat The Rain*! Grab your copy now (or dust off the one you bought in 2016 😉). Look where Bluesky cut the clip off 🤣

At mum's in UK. My laptop charger died. Got a USBC charger instead which charges at a rate of 1% every 72 hours it seems. Now ChatGPT is down. (I'm not authoring today, btw - I don't use ChatGPT to write my novels, before anyone asks).

Also, mum's house is freezing.

How many of you get these automated dm’s from authors when you connect - always asking ‘how’s your writers journey going’ and very obviously ai chatbots?

It really makes me want to run a mile from them. It does seem to be a thing particular to here.

My very talented artist friend (not on blue sky or I’d tag him) just sent me two paintings and I love them! What do you think?

Today, fellow writers. I’m bloody loving my #wip - just a few days ago, I was a talentless loser piece of shit who should never put fingers to keyboard. It’s a magical mystery tour this writing lark!

I decided to grow a big ginger tache. But I can’t take other half and the kids telling me how ugly I look so I’m gonna shave it off tomorrow - so I thought I’d show you all it on all its glory before it goes! 🤣 #totacheornottotache #gingertache

In case anyone wonders what life in a 2 dad family is like or how the kids understand things 🤣🤣🤣

Back in May, my then 12YO painted 'Pence' (Pensive Bear) and now he's just painted a follow-up of Pence, sitting with a bee, looking chirpier. It's for his Nana this xmas. (Nana isn't on Bluesky, it's safe to share). 😍

Don’t tell grandma but 13YO just painted her this…

I’m in London still - but there’s snow at home, apparently!

Catching up with lovely humans in London. In 20 years we haven’t changed a bit!

Photo of me and Luka dog stuck on my mum’s fridge. I was actually in my early 30s here but I look about 12!

Well, my lovely Americans. Keep doing what you're doing! 😍

I know it's boring, last one, promise (unless they get to 1 or something in which case I won't shut up about it)... but Life, Slightly is currently 15 in the USA Amazon chart for LGBTQ fiction and 39 for Contemporary Lit Fiction. It's free on kindle right now for anyone who wants a free kindle read.
December 4, 2024 at 4:06 PM
Beat The Rain is 8 in contemporary lit fiction... again, it's free at moment, so it doesn't really count! Still 😀 #writerslife
December 3, 2024 at 9:57 AM
I mean, it's free on Kindle at moment so it doesn't count, but The Pursuit of Ordinary is 19 in psychological literary fiction right now... (and Beat The Rain about 46 in Contemporary Lit Fiction)
