I did it. Draft 1 of the next book exists, which is something. 3 weeks to make it presentable now.

Just realised that tomorrow marks ten years since being published with my first book, Fir for Luck! I knew it was this month, but had to look up the date, and I nearly missed it. TEN!

Okay - convince me Bluesky is worth the effort! Where are the like-minded booky people - librarians, teachers, writers, readers, Scottish history nerds, historical fiction buffs, travellers, political lefties, fiddle players, folk show listeners...

we have a writer pal and her husband staying on Friday. No guesses how long it took me to do battle with the bedding. Who invented king size duvets and their cursed covers!

Boom, just over 1500 words of the next book written. I love my notebook for The Secret Loch Ness Correspondent, a gift! I work best in the library, with no internet distraction and a sense of urgency. Where do others write?

Woman rushes into my book signing at Fort George today. Woman: I loved your book! Me (flattered): Oh, how kind. Which one? Woman: The... wait... oh, I've got it. The Bookseller... Me (helpfully): of Inverness? Woman: YES! That! Me: Erm, that's not one of mine. 😁 @shonamaclean.bsky.social

Oh, give it a go. It won the Young Quills Award, so maybe it's one of my better efforts. 😊♟️ My Dad was a competitive chess player. There is a chapter where my hero has to play chess for his life!

I’m always a fan of @scattyscribbler.bsky.social and her latest children’s book out from @luathpress.bsky.social is another cracker. Here’s my review lindasbookbag.com/2026/07/06/e...

Happy birthday, #PearlSBuck! Her novel East Wind: West Wind was one of the very first adult books I read as a teenager. Books like this ensured I remained a reader as I moved away from the excellent children's books which still shape me.
