So, my thirteen year-old son was speaking to a teacher today about Halloween. The teacher asked if he was going to bring anything scary to class. He replied "yes, the electricity bill!". 🤣 #smartkid

People who have not bought my book, Fenlands. And why.

1. The Dalai Lama
“I come from Tibet. We don’t have any flat land. I can’t relate.”

2. Donald Trump
“I had Natalie ghost read it to me, but as it had no diet coke, and tasted bad, I quit.”

3. MAGA
Ordered 100,000 copies but couldn’t find anyone to read it to them and cancelled.

4. My parents
Being deceased is a poor excuse.

5. Everyone else
Because who the hell are you? I’ve never heard of you. You don’t even have an agent and you haven’t spent a penny on promotion and frankly, I doubt it’s that good anyway.

Update! This week we started drilling wheat. This involves buying the seed, then drilling it & waiting about 10 months for it to grow...not knowing how much it will cost us to grow, how much will grow & how much it will be worth at the end of it all! I think this is a definition of madness!

In 1940, with fascism raging across Europe, the world's most famous silent movie actor spoke out. Five years later the shameless liar Charlie Chaplin mocked in The Great Dictator, who persuaded a third of Germans that whoever opposed him was their enemy, celebrated his "winning" by killing himself.

That's why it's always good to take the time to root through the book bins and shelves in all the charity shops. You never know when you may strike gold. #bookshops #reading www.bbc.com/news/article...

It is expensive to go it alone, but the independence is worth all the tea in China (3.9 million metric tonnes), all the gold in Fort Knox ($640 Billion), or all the fish in the sea (3.5 trillion). NB: All numbers are approximate only. Do not quote me! #poorwriters #newbook #booksky #IndieAuthor

An informational image with a dark aesthetic. On the left side, a black cat is draped over a weathered, leather-bound book with the title "THE BOOK ABATTOIR" printed on its spine. On the right side, the text reads:

"The book is finished. I refuse to call it by the terrible name of novella or novelette. It's a short novel. A book. A story. It's 32,000 words. Too short? Needs more? No! It's exactly as long as it was meant to be.

What's it called? THE BOOK ABATTOIR
When is it out? When I can afford to buy an ISBN!

Big news for The Katrina Calm Series Book 3, Losing Calm. October 1st: the cover drops. November 1st: the book releases. Are you writing a book? If so, what’s it about. If not, why aren’t you? If indie authors matter to you, a repost would mean a lot right now.

My book is now on unread.cloud — a platform for indie authors and readers. Earlier today I was interviewed about my books. The fun part for me is the writing. All the rest is torture! So this Unread may prove very useful! #IndieAuthor #BookSky

It arrived! 📚 There is something rather wonderful about holding your own book in your hands for the first time, even though they charged me €11:43 in customs duty! Bloody Brexit! #Fenlands #RichardGreen #WellandBooks #AmWriting #BookSky #IndieAuthor #ShortStories #TheFens #NewBook

The Model Fish Bar, Stamford, was where a night out would often begin, end, or both when I was in my late teens in the early 80s. Still going strong! Nothing beats the classics: cod and chips with scraps, battered sausage, saveloy and mushy peas. #Lincolnshire #StamfordUK #FishAndChips #nostalgia

“So, how much did you spend on the trinket you just spent the last hour telling me about? If it were the statue of a woman, I should be jealous!” She was teasing him. “Oh, just a few thousand.” “George! Just a few thousand! Have you gone quite mad?” #Fenlands #HistoricalFiction #BookSky

Inspired by my year in Montenegro I am working on a new story: a French intelligence officer, an Australian spy, a suspicious arms dealer in a place where nobody is quite what they seem. No explosions. No bodies. Just secrets and perhaps, love? The Coast Watchers #amwriting #spyromance #booksky
