So... my funny short story Front Page News, based on a real incident, is set in Fortrose on the Black Isle in the early 2000s. One character mentioned is real, but which? It's the second story read, about 15 minutes in, free here - thanks again, Sherry! 👇 www.mixcloud.com/invernesshr/...

And finally... still 1919. Joe is the only son of Mary and Henry. They are my paternal grandparents. But Joe is not my father. 📚 Anyone fancy a long, immersive, escapist read about two real families, one of them Indian/Irish and royal, the other Canadian/British - and my own? #scotwriterpitch2025

(Cont'd.) These two books based on real events. Mary and Henry are my paternal grandparents. Joe (pictured here as a boy with Mary) is Mary and Henry's only son. So... if Joe fails to return to Vancouver from India in 1919, will I ever be born? 😳 Saga/Historical Fiction/autism #scotwriterpitch2025

Just curious, fellow #scotswriterpitch2025 folk. Did you set up your account just in order to do this event? I've had a BlueSky account here for a while but found it hard to fathom at first. Have been more active on Threads since leaving TwiX last year. Enjoying today though!

(Cont'd) Will strange, courageous Mary find her missing son Joe as she travels through India? And what is the shadowy connection between Joe and the court of the Maharajahs of Patiala? Will either Mary or Joe ever see Henry, or Vancouver Island, again? (TBC!) #ScotWriterPitch

Vee Walker @veewalker.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

(Cont'd). 1919. Mary and Henry's only son Joe grows up on Vancouver Island, just as strange as his over-protective mother. When he runs away to India, only to vanish feared dead, Mary leaves philandering Henry and travels to India alone to try to find him. (TBC!) #scotpitchwriter2025

(Cont'd...) C19th child bride Mary is cut off from the family fortune that dodgy husband Henry was relying on to shore up his fortunes. And Mary is pregnant, with no idea what childbirth will mean. Shamed and broke, will Henry choose Canada or India for their new life? (TBC!) #ScotWriterPitch2025

On her 30th birthday, a small-time reporter suddenly finds that every time she asks someone a question, they tell her the truth. Excellent news for her career, less so for her personal life. Truth hurts... Yellowface x Really Good, Actually Speculative/book club fiction #scotwriterpitch2025

Strange Mary Southgate is locked up for most of her childhood. She bites, paces carpets, shatters wax dolls. When she siezes her only chance to escape, eloping with dubious lawyer Henry, what could possibly go wrong? (TBC!). C19th - C20th. Two-novel historical fiction/saga #scotwriterpitch2025

Hello! I've set up shop on #Threads rather than here on #Bluesky - but - a literary pitch event I enjoyed supporting on TwiX before I left has now been moved to Bluesky. As an author, what bookish delights am I missing here? Any advice? Pic of blue sky with mimosa. #Books #Writing #Editing #author

Bonne année 2024 from Nice! Soggy morning when the Promenade des Anglais precisely mirrored this equally soggy Matisse. Palm trees have grown a bit though and I expect they enjoy the occasional deluge!

Sigh. I don’t think everyday folks quite realize the connection between the gutting of legacy media, with all its failings, and the rise of fascism.

I visited the Royal Engineers Museum in Kent on a research trip this week where I spotted these tiny phials of #WWI poison gas, complete with a cheery poem by which to remember the smell of the different kinds. The heartbreaking normalisation of warfare from 100+ years ago. So little has changed 💔
