Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 13/01/2025My mum's a former teacher about the same age as this one. She can definitely afford to put her heating on. 010
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Hallo to anyone who's found me here! I've been writing sapphic crime/thrillers for 10+ years. I'm a frontline paramedic which means I swear a lot, I'm always knackered and I'm bad at working to deadlines. My cats are dreadful, and I love sheep and mountains and muddy hikes. That about covers it! 2201
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Seems like loads of folks are jumping off Shitter's sinking ship and onto here. Hallooooo! TBF, I'm far livelier over on Threads (mainly because I enjoy talking about random stuff!) where I'm also well, Cari Hunter. But I wanted to say hi to new followers 👋👋 1141
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 21/12/2023It's great liking the hated chocs. They're always left over in the xmas tubs at work. Meanwhile, the green triangles can get stuffed. They're nasty AF. 020
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 21/12/2023Pls send me all your coconut cast offs. Thank you kindly. 210
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 20/12/2023Ah, the lesser known B side #queer #wlw #happytobeanatheist #gaystuff #cantdancetoit 0161
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 27/11/2023Tell your wife thank you kindly 😊 If she has any entertaining Scottish phrases for Ms. Isla Munro (A Calculated Risk) feel free to throw them in my direction. 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 27/11/2023Yeah, I've never listened to it. I am SO grateful that BSB accidentally found Nicki for the rest of mine (she'd originally auditioned for another BSB author). I think we've grown together as we've gone along. I'm a better author than I was and she's hit her stride and then some as a narrator. 120
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 27/11/2023That's probably for the best! I'm fond of both books but they are very obviously early novels and I'd change a ton of things if I had my time over. The audio of Tumbledown is better than DP, mainly because Sarah is cute as a button in it. 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 27/11/2023Snacky cravings are NEVER a bad thing! Oh, if you're listening to the books, Snowbound has a different narrator to all my others. Some people have got on well with her...I never made it past the sample 😬 230
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 26/11/2023I have a lot of very wonderful US readers who take great delight in being fluent at northern English swearing. And then there are the indignant minority who think everyone should write in their standard vernacular and those people, quite frankly, can please go and read something else. 150
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 26/11/2023Thank you! 😊 I do read my reviews, for better or for worse. A bad one might linger for a while if it's sensible, but the ones that say more about the reviewer than the book are like water off a duck's back. 120
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 26/11/2023Ha! I get my share. Main themes: "I chose a crime book and I am pissed off it is not a romance." "I am an AMURRRICAN and cannot cope with anything not written in AMURRRICAN." "I hate acronyms and uh...plot." And occasionally: "GAY 😱" (when they've got me mixed up with Cara Hunter 😆) 210

Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 22/11/2023My equilibrium is just fucked. There was Gluhwein and fairy lights and everything! 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 22/11/2023Moody weather, moody crime and Nicki Vincent's dulcet northern tones, what's not to love? 1101
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 22/11/2023Just written a scene so sweet and festive, I'm going to have to have a lie down in a cool, dark room, then probably murder someone in the next chapter. #WLW fiction #crime writing #author stuff #not a romance writer #REALLY not a romance writer #sapphic 1160
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 13/11/2023They're all deplorable. It's difficult to overstate the damage they've done to this country during their time in power. I hope they get annihilated at the next election. 230
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 13/11/2023Good riddance, you vile flesh wasting piece of crap. How long now till we can get rid of the rest of your mates? 180
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 12/11/2023It's been on there for ages winding me the fuck up. I'm going to write to them again. It's been a while since I've reminded them that they're a useless complicit bunch of twats. 000
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 12/11/2023Oh fuck off Goodreads. If you genuinely gave a damn about "authenticity" of reviews and ratings you'd have binned off Charles and his 7000+ 1 star ratings of WLW books years ago. * WLW fiction * Sapphic fiction * tossers who need binning 2220
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 31/10/2023With spookily perfect timing, my freebie codes for the fabulous audio version of ‘A Calculated Risk’ are now mine! I have ten codes available for either Audible US or UK ONLY. If you want to enter say BOO! in the comments or ‘like’ this post. Closing date for entries is 12pm GMT, 2nd Nov. 0143
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 28/10/2023On a scale of 1 to British, I'd put my books at 11 😆 050
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 28/10/2023🎵 The middle of fucking October, you absolute weirdo...🎵 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 28/10/2023I've been writing British WLW crime fiction for ten years and I still regularly devastate readers who prefer their British crime to focus on a romantic pairing and not be so bloody British. I add more British just for them. 160
Reposted by Cari HunterAdele Buck @adelebuck.com · 27/10/2023That Home Depot/milkshake analogy is going to live absolutely rent-free in my head forever. 402118683
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 28/10/2023LOL, I know! "Wow, you picked up a book clearly labelled 'crime,' written by a British author, and you are devastated that the book is not an American-sounding Romance?" I don't think the book is the problem here, Karen. 1110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 26/10/2023It looks like a dog's dinner but it went down a treat. There's bonus cheese in there as well, of course. 010
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 26/10/2023I LOVE them. I usually have to prepare loads because I keep eating them as I chop them up. 010
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 25/10/2023Did you see M&S are doing choc covered bourbons and custard creams?? I'm not sure you can improve on biscuit perfection but I'd def give them a try...for research. 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 25/10/2023Aimed for mushroom omelette. Missed. #fooddisasters #tastedgoodtho #betteratwritingthanmakingomelettes 250
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 24/10/2023My only car commentary is a stream of "who taught you to drive, dickhead?!" and other variations on the theme. I adore writing Jo, she's endlessly entertaining and I love coming up with new ways to land her in trouble. 130
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 23/10/2023Never before have I been reviewed by someone literally driving a car. High risk stakes! Did she like the book (yes!) Will she crash the car...not telling. 170
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 23/10/2023How did you do this without crashing?! 😆 much love for the gleeful review. I will get on now and write more Jo Shaw for you 😘 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 21/10/2023I am going to give it a go! I love making curries but am very bad at not going "ooh it needs more of this!" and then sticking in the entire spice rack. 110
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 20/10/2023Me: "I will definitely write all the words today!" Also me... 🤦 #sapphic #amnotreallywriting #butishouldbewriting #jigidiisaddictive #wlw 0131
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 20/10/2023I will err on the side of vanilla ice cream but Daisy loves custard so I usually make some for her (Bird's Eye, obvs) 010
Cari Hunter @carihunter.bsky.social · 20/10/2023We scrumped a load of apples from our neighbour so we have a freezer full of crumble and apple sauce-ready bags! The mac and cheese will go again for tonight's tea, then I think it's curry tomorrow. Not decided which - korma or jalfrezi, I have new recipes for both :-) 110
