Another one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken. London at sunset. Makes me miss living there, walking across the bridge into the city after work was always my favourite part of the day. Longing sigh.

I felt every bit of #TheRush by @bethlewis.bsky.social: the wilderness, the savagery, the loss, and the bitter determination. Immediately among my books of the year, it will stay with me for a long time. Out in June from Viper Books. Thank you so much @mirandajewess.bsky.social for the proof!

Do I know anyone who knows anything about churches? Please, what is the big box on the wall to the left of the giant cross? I’m at a gig and not knowing is distracting me from the music. Google is, of course, no help.

I’m having such fun with chapter titles for this book. Truly leaning into the most poetic, silly aspects of the western genre. #writing

Playing hangman with a 5 year old really shows the inconsistency of the English language and the limitations of phonics. Todays gems included CAYC and ERPLAYNS

Turns out all the words I wrote this morning during #5amWritersClub were not the right words and took the story in the wrong direction. Two steps forward, one back. #writing

Still one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken, from a trip to Canada many moons ago. Whenever it pops up on my phone, I give a longing sigh.

Really hope you enjoy it! I may have watched a lot of Deadwood for “research”. Ahem. 💛💛💛

Loved The Rush by @bethlewis.bsky.social - three strong and intriguing women characters, a superbly well-drawn setting in the brutal world of the Gold Rush, and a murder mystery that kept me guessing till the end. Absolutely gripping.

David Lynch 💔 I adored his Dune when I was a kid and still do. Then as an adult I found Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive and the shift in my writer brain was profound. His imagination was on a different level. A true visionary and a huge loss.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
