Definitely don’t start this fabulous book at 1am! Socialist journalist Josef Shapel meets aristocrat Alex at the WWI front and discovers the war has unleashed more than he realised. 🌈📚💙 🪐📚 📚🌶️ 🌈🚀💫 #booksky #fantasy #queeradultSFF #romancebook #romantasy #romancem/m @sallymalcolm.bsky.social

A book. Sally Malcolm. No Man’s Land. A historical paranormal romance. Image: a bloody handprint surrounded by a heart made from barbed wire.

And another favourite line from @sallymalcolm.bsky.social. The Last Kiss! Harry watched him, chewing on one lip. “Do you remember it, then? When you were hit?” When I kissed you. “I hoped you wouldn’t.” (p. 73) FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Have dropped the paywall for one day only on one of my old favourites – the story of my first gay kiss, in Edinburgh, on New Year's Eve 1997.

When the kids were little, Tom started making a gingerbread house each Christmas. He’s still at it! This year it’s a church complete with choir. I think it’s pretty good!

I miss Father Christmas. You don’t hear him mentioned much these days. It’s all Santa this and Santa that…

Right? Unless you’re lucky enough to have a big fan base KDP is necessary. I put all my books wide for a couple of months last year. Total income? $60 😂

Definitely made more selling direct through Amazon than with trad publishers.

It’s nice to have ninety different platforms where we have to ensure we are sharing different things specifically for each. Keeps me from having to do any of that pesky “write things to sell for food money” stuff.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!! No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

Yes, it's a wonderful book. I read it back in my teens and still remember it. ❤️
