Whilst I haven’t been writing a lot (over last month), I have been reading and these two have been my favourites. I’ve never read Ann Patchett before, but after ‘Tom Lake’ I’ll be reading everything by her this year… And ‘All the Colours…’ by Chris Whitaker is just such an epic and compelling read!

My Jessica Fletcher Christmas Jumper is the best.

Bit of good news today. The opening chapters and synopsis of novel I started writing in September has made #flash500’s novel comp long list. I am in the soggy middle right now so good timing!!

Ted’s keen (although he doesn’t look it).

This is the much less stressful than usual glastonbury attempt-to-buy-tickets-but-fail screen/process this year. I’ll either be very happy or…not…in about 45 mins time!

Lots of doughnuts in the Olive books…

Well I have to join in this one…Ted insists #dogsofbluesky

My wild night is this, plus tea plus toast. And this is my intro to Bluesky…well, start as I mean to go on…
