Picked this up yesterday from my indie bookshop. A lovely sunny day in Ilkley. Look forward to it @robparkerauthor.bsky.social 👍🏻

Wow, Trevor Wood. The characters, setting and true to life realities are gripping. I loved it and it deserves all the praise it is being awarded. Thanks to @interviewroomone for the competition in which I won it. This is one book well worth reading and one I won’t forget in a hurry. X

Haworth today. Home of the Bronte’s. Dry but cold.

Low cloud in the valley this morning. Stunning sunrise.

Hi folks. There is a fake account on here pretending to be me - [email protected]. Looks just like my account but there's an extra 't' in the name. I've reported it. Just double check who you're following! Thanks. xx

Another fake account is impersonating me! This time with two ‘r’s’. They’re trying to get you to take part in a survey to win the books. Don’t fall for it!

Wow - this is a great giveaway. What a treat winning would be. Good luck everyone🤞🏻

Not book related, but I’ve known this incredible young woman since she was 5 years old. She played rugby with my son in the juniors, my husband was their coach. Now playing for England, she’s only gone and won Women’s Rugby Player of the Year. Very proud of her. 🥰

Thought I'd do a thread on writing tips that I might add to from time to time... 1) I've cited this one before on the other place... A description of a person or a place should tell you as much about the person doing the describing as the person or place being described. Examples below.

In Malaga - but reading The Wrong Sister by Claire Douglas - I’m hooked. Drinks by the Cathedral with a book - bliss ☺️

A call to all un-agented authors who have written a sweeping historical love story. My submissions are open, and I am waiting to read your book. www.dhhliteraryagency.com/david-h-head...
