Can recommend meeting another local author for coffee, cake, and lots of discussion about writing and publishing. Sara's work is awesome! 5 stars. No notes. @sara_fox_author

@millareed.bsky.social on my morning walk earlier I listened to the Loneliness pod, then the subsequent pair of shows about Friends/Friendship. Enjoyed. Plenty to say! Byt first, my 3rd novel (Secrets We Hide From Ourselves) is all about enduring friendship, and how things can be blurred.

And it’s a hat trick! Today Yours became the third national magazine to feature an article about me finding Mum’s diaries and ‘According to Eve’, the book that was the outcome. I even made the cover (the tiny pic above Dawn French’s head 😁)

@millareed.bsky.social I’m just reflecting in the rosy glow of being mentioned in The Emergency Chicken. I enjoyed it. Some great points that I related to, especially the bits about how change can feel hard because of how people will react. Thank you so much for the book plug…

Out today (UK) In Take a Break monthly, you can read how I met Fred’s son, and more about Mum and Fred’s reunion (middle pic) and the heartache that followed. Picture top left is Mum and I on a cruise shortly before she died. Bless you, Mum.

Now up to 39% in favour, 45% against …so a good hard push should be able to turn that poll around

I wrote to MP recently saying I'm appalled by Ofcom's decision to grant Tesla energy a licence to supply electricity in UK &, given Musk was trying to get far right to overthrow gov last year, he should be nowhere near our infrastructure. I asked whether there's anything we can do. I got this reply

I agree that we must do everything in our power to prevent the spread of dangerous and polarising far right wing ideologies across the UK. We unequivocally condemned the comments you referenced from Elon Musk. As Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said in her response, his address was “abhorrent” and “no-one gets to mess with British democracy”.

I would be happy to relay your concerns around the approval of Tesla’s energy license to my ministerial colleagues in the Department Energy Security and Net Zero. Please let me know if I have your permission to do so.

Thank you once again for contacting me and for sharing your views.

With best wishes

Was quietly impressed when 'Zon quickly delivered the author copies of According to Eve I ordered a month ago. Anyways, I just got an email saying they're refunding me because they couldn't be delivered. Now I is confusled. Did I dream them?

If you need an Xmas present for a grannie, great Aunt or your lovely elderly neighbour, please consider According to Eve. They're so hard to buy for, but most of them love a slice of nostalgia :-)

A lady from Hong Kong wanted to tell me how interesting she found 'According to Eve' as someone who hadn't been raised here. She doesn't use Amazon. By the time my hair was done, she had written this. How lovely! #accordingtoeve #1950s #history #kent #rochester #chatham #gillingham #medway

There's a special place in hell for those - and it's not just Mone - whose first thought during a national emergency was that this it was an opportunity to get rich by looting the Treasury.

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

Do you want to see my latest review? It’s possibly a tad over the top. Of course you do, you might want to buy According to Eve for your Granny. She’s so hard to buy for, it’d be an easy win. 😁
