A propos of nothing, but having been bombarded manifestation posts of late, here's what I want: 1. The Omaze cotswolds house 2. For Stephen King to read and love Splinters 3. For the new thriller I'm starting tomorrow to pour plot-perfect from my pantsing brain. That is all. Thanks universe

Hey, I just visited Goodreads and didn't end up slamming my head on a tear-stained keyboard. Thank you 2025. Keep it up. #ElectricLife @troikabooks.bsky.social

Recently I posted to see if a school in the Wolves/Manch/L'pool area fancied a visit week start May19 because I was doing one up there and wanted to make the most of it. A school got back to me - hooray! - and I'm excited to meet them. However, the first school has just cancelled 😩. Anyone else?...

I think Kylie missed a trick by not re-releasing her dance hit Papam Papam. #pope

I like Leo VIX, but for comedy reasons I was really plumping for Pizzaballa so he could end his prayers with 'In Dominoes, padre'.

We think this is wonderful! This is the mother of Sue Kllauber , who wrote of her family's daring resistance to the Nazis in her older middlegrade novels #Zinc and #Cobalt #VEday #VEDay80

After reading the poem “This is Just to Say,” I’m starting to suspect William Carlos Williams was a nom de plum.

Give me a world where I can gaze at kangaroos and elephants and I will be a happy soul.

Looking at summer jobs for the kids, who love languages and Europe. Thoughts flew to Eurocamp. Teamwork, culture, hard graft, life experience. Perfect. Nope. No longer open to those who don't have a lucky EU passport. Brexit, innit. What a horizon-narrowing pile of b*llocks. I'm so sick of it.

Lights go out, walls come tumbling down. Do they? Maybe. Maybe not. You'll have to read it. Writing a sequel is HARD, and I am so happy to announce this news! #ElectricLifeSurge.

People shocked by 'the blue suit' really don't understand how narcissists work. The Pope, center of attention at his own funeral? Can't be having that.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but watched M*A*S*H the movie last night and I think the characters in the tv series are better developed. I love Donald Sutherland but I just don't think he was that great in this. *ducks* For transparency, Alan Alda's Hawkeye has my heart so I could be biased.

I've just finished writing my next middlegrade and this is both the location and the feeling. Real world beauty with a scifi horizon. My old stomping ground. Beautiful #Anglesey. Praying you'll get to read it sooner rather than later. vm.tiktok.com/ZNd2SP5wn/
