It took me most of the afternoon to draft this, but it's finally here - a bonanza of Unusual Historicals debuting in February 2025. Hey, you know all that talk about historicals "dying?" Yeah, maybe not so much. wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2025/02/cand... #RomBkBlog #Romancelandia

I’ve been away from home for the past week - I think I was missed ❤️#Figtherescuecat #catsofbluesky #caturday

ICYMI: @profromance.bsky.social got tired of hearing that romance only became popular recently & I got tired of hearing that romance bookstores started in the US, so we wrote an article about it. Our contribution to the Valentine's Day romance hot takes is on the long history of romance bookstores

At least I understand test cricket!

#caturday morning vibes with Fig.

I was born in Kenya and I always have my eye out for books set in this beautiful country. Thank you @tonyriches.bsky.social for the recommendation.

My free download on the craft of writing historical fiction is always available on Bookfunnel. #HistoricalFiction #HistFic #WritingCommunity #Booksky dl.bookfunnel.com/m68epxbsms

Never forget!

Fig TRC is fascinated by the tennis #mensfinal #australianopen #catsofbluesky #rescuecat

How To Be a Writer, #111: Open laptop Look into the void Scream into the void Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you Ask the void if it takes milk Choose a nice mug for the void And maybe a chocolate biscuit Lose yourself in the void Tea

#bookmail saw the Conclave movie today. Highly recommend!

#caturday Life with Fig - an intensely curious cat! what’s in that mystery bag? Is it food…or a toy? (No he didn’t eat any and no grapes were harmed)

First booksigning of the year. Always nice to meet new people (and sell a few books). #writerslife #indieauthorbookfair

With my local friend Danella Olsen here in the Yukon, we're creating warmth and joy in the snowy wilderness at -20°C through uplifting music and movements, sharing our celebration with the universe as we wish you a Happy New Year. Gurdeep.org

As we head into 2025, I'll be sharing 25 MEDICAL HISTORY OBJECTS starting with... #1) 5,000-year-old prosthetic eye made of bitumen paste with lines radiating out from iris. Worn by a 6’ tall woman (possibly a priestess), found near the city of Zabol in Iran. The eye would have been painted gold.

Or write them into a book 20 years later…

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

A very Happy New Year to my friends and readers ❤️🥂🎆

Happy New Year from a picture perfect Melbourne, Australia. ❤️

Have a wonderful Christmas day… I know we did. Even Fig got into the spirit ❤️#catsofbluesky #christmasday

I have some precious gemstones under my Christmas tree 🎄

Sometimes it is the simple pleasures, such as showing my 3yo granddaughter how to make witchy fingers with Jacaranda flowers ❤️

On a scale of Fig, how are you feeling today? #catsofbluesky

Not dead. Sleeping. #catsofbluesky

Left the cat for a night (with food and a breakfast service)?and the little sod punished me by deliberately tipping a full glass of water over my work, me, the carpet… at least it wasn’t my computer!

Summer is here… the REAL cricket is happening (I’ll arm wrestle anyone who tells me that BB is real cricket). I finally got to write characters who play cricket ❤️ #harrietgordonmysteries

Good morning from Fig TRC (the rescue cat) 😀 Hs’s bright eyed snd ready for the day … which is more than I am.

A warm welcome (wonderful authors and lovers of all things historical and cats) to everyone who has found and followed me over the past few days. I have mostly followed back but just a tip for newbies - if you want followers and engagement, you do need a profile (pic and basic info).

Maybe releasing a new book in the same week as a US election was not my brightest moment but it’s out now - the 5th Harriet Gordon Mystery- and the world needs happy endings … books2read.com/AgonyinAmeth...

it's official — 1,000,000 people have joined Bluesky in just the last day!!! welcome and thank you for being here 🥳

I've been here a while... just sitting quietly in a corner waiting... and waiting. Now the party has started and the X-ILES are coming over to join us! Time to come out of hibernation. Meet my writing companion... Figaro the Rescue Cat (or Fig for short) because we all need cat pics.
