It was a lovely evening of Cullerpoets Takeover at the Cooking Pot last night, and I enjoyed sharing my two poems inspired by 'ties and tension' - the theme of this year's Whitley Bay Poetry Trail. I'll be posting my poems to my Substack soon. #poetry #writingcommunity

At Lochleven Castle last week, I saw this window, and immediately longed to have my photo taken in it. Happily, my other half obliged! Just wish I’d been wearing a floaty gown rather than a bright blue waterproof. Now, to write the #histfic or #histrom novel to match it...

How did you write your first novel? The Raided Heart was written in Excel of all things, since my accountant mum only had that loaded on her work laptop! (I was 13...). It was much easier, editing it in Word, 20yrs later! www.amazon.co.uk/Raided-Heart... #histfic #amreading #booksky

It’s just over a week until the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School, which means tomorrow is “Pick What Courses We’re Going To Do Day” with the girls! There may (will) be fizz. Which, to be fair, is why we lose the notes we’ve only just made… Still, it’s a cracking day 😎🍾🥂 #writerslife
