@bookmarkobrien.bsky.social Hello! Just thought you should know (if you don’t already!) that someone is sending scam emails from you to authors. I got one yesterday. It was very convincing!!

For 10 short weeks of punishment Mike Amesbury gets paid, yet I am covering my nursery worker daughter's wages while she is sick with flu. Where is the justice in that, asks Jen Faulkner

I’ve just written an interesting sentence in my latest WiP and now need to research whether or not two crumpets can be eaten in six mouthfuls. This is research I can get on board with.

The 2nd author multipack. Even more flavours and varieties. I've had to stick to people I'm connected with/follow elsewhere as I've had lots of requests and I just don't have time to check through them all, particularly with the site lagging. If I could have included everyone, I would!

Clearing out my stuff ready to move and this afternoon I found some of my earliest writing, including a story I wrote for my BA that has literally terrified me. It’s horrific. Clearly I was very troubled at the time… < shudders >

Bloody hell sorting out your stuff and having a clear out before moving is tough. Ex is staying in the house, I’m not. Keep finding little love notes he’s written to me over the years. Oof.

Friday for me means no teaching (phew) and all the writing. I might not be able to write my shiny new idea (see previous post) but I can plod on with the current wip which, if rumour is true, because it’s the hardest book I’ve written is going to be the best, right? 😂 #amwriting

I have come up with an exciting - and what I think is utterly brilliant - idea for a retelling of a childhood classic with a dystopian twist. Trouble is, I have to wait until 2039 for the original work to be in the public domain 🤦‍♀️

I was so excited to read an early copy of What Goes Around by the brilliant @jenfaulknerwriter.bsky.social and it did not disappoint! Packed with secrets and lies, this thriller kept me reading long past my bed time. If you like your books full of tension and drama, you'll LOVE this. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yep, I’m the muppet who thought parents evening was online - just as it has been for the last four years - and was sat at her computer trying to log on when her 14yo walked in and asked what time we were heading to school for the IN PERSON parents evening. 🤦‍♀️

For the first time since July, and since separating with my husband, I am writing new words for a new novel and I am SO HAPPY ABOUT IT! 💪🏼 I’ve been struggling to be creative soooo much, so this feels very, very good.
