I'm making a Jackie Collins clams and chorizo recipe for dinner. So it's only fair to have a Jackie Collins cocktail before I start. Cheers #FridayFeeling

That's the 1st draft of Book 3 in my Basic Instincts series done 😁I'm going to give myself the day off tomorrow before getting stuck into draft 2 on Friday. I want to get this sent to the publisher before the end of March. It's pencilled in for a release Sept/Oct I believe. #amwriting

This is Robert Jerome Pagan. He is an openly queer artist creating queer content at a time where it is challenging in the U.S. to distribute his work. So here's a shout out to one of his latest projects. A podcast called the YADOX files. Check it out at www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ5M...

I wasn't sure how easy it would be to get back into writing my WIP today after taking 3 weeks off for Christmas and New Year, but it was easy. 3k words done. No shade to pantsers but I couldn't have done it without my detailed outline and knowing exactly where the story is going. #Writing

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. 3 werewolf novels from the 1970s. There's a lot for sensitive reads to be offended by as they are very much of their time. But for good old fashioned werewolves as monsters rather than romantic heroes, I loved it. @guynsmith #books

Just done a 15 card tarot read for 2025. Wow, I feel drained after that, but it's given me plenty to consider. I need to dwell on it before coming up with my resolutions and 12 month plan.

These are my book releases from 2024. The end of Jagged Shores, a standalone and a taste of the new series. I didn't think I'd done much this year but this isn't bad considering the stressy day job. More to come in 2025.

It always seems like a great idea to go out the Saturday between Christmas and new year, until the time comes. I need a rest, not another binge. 😴 New Years Eve will be a night in after this. I'm done.

I've overcome another hangover. The #BoxingDay buffet is set. There's plenty of booze to go around. I can now have 5 minutes of quiet time before the party starts. And avoiding Gavin & Stacey spoilers for the rest of the day.

Despite the hangover I managed breakfast, present opening, food prep and got ready in time for a glass of champagne at 1.00. Lunch will be served when it's served but the hard work is done. Merry Christmas
