I love being read to. So of course I host a monthly storytelling open mic where people read from their works in progress or published pieces. Poetry, fiction, true stories, hybrid. It’s tonight 7:30-8:30 BST. If you’d like to listen or for a five-minute open mic slot, let me know.

I’m reading an arc of Good Good Loving by Yvvette Edwards for today’s Every Other Sunday book club. It’s a read your own book club where everyone reads what they want for two hours wherever they are. I’d love to read with you for the next hour and a half and then talk books here #amreading

For as long as I can remember I’ve told myself I am not a 5 AM writer. I’m challenging myself to break this myth or to see if it’s true. I’m writing from 5:05 (or so)-6 AM (BST/GMT).

I’ve recently found out the money I was expecting to be “paid on advance” isn’t paid on advance to me. So I may not be able to go to my first reading in the US. Do you use Patreon? If so, does it work for you? Also looking for writer in res opportunities

Happy Large-Print Publication Day to Curdle Creek! I’m celebrating by planning an obstacle course race similar to the Running of the Widows scene in the book. How can you celebrate with me? Buy, borrow, read, share, and shout about Curdle Creek. Or, run with me. #reading

I’m late, but for International Women’s Day I’m celebrating characters I love. From Remembered: Ella, Agnes, Spring, Tempe, Mama Skins. From Curdle Creek, Osira of course, and also Mae, Mother Opal, and Cadence. What fictional characters are you celebrating for International Women’s Day?

I'm sorting out my Mother's Day Wishlist. First, is anyone up for a book club where we read from our favorite passages from Ms. Tina's book, then dance while a DJ plays music inspired by Matriarch? #bookclub the picture is from @waterstones.bsky.social pre-order

Time for some #Bluesky thinking. I’d love to be writer in residence and be paid well to host monthly literary salons with readings, music/dancing, and good food. I want to bring people together over stories, food, and community

Taking a short break to invite you to read with me. I needed to make time to read for pleasure. So I started a bi-weekly book club. Every other Sunday from 6-8 PM (GMT) we read what we want. If you’d like to join us in zoom, let me know. Or read when and wherever you are.

I keep putting off doing the things that make me happy. As if I need to finish everything else first. Time to break that habit. So, I’m scheduling time to read for pleasure at my new book club, Every Other Sunday. We’ll meet in person or online. BYOB. Today was the first one.

I like bringing people together over stories, food, spaces. I wanted to host an after hours one that I could attend after work, momming, whatever else. Now, I’m hosting an event in my town. I’m hoping people can come. If you can’t make it, please share my book club party.

What I like most about this picture is the light. It was early in the morning at a little train station in Appleby. #pictures

I’m going through my phone for pictures I like. No context really. I don’t know how I took this picture. It looked completely different when I snapped it.

Last year, I saw a beautiful, little blue bird. We were in Leeds. I’m sure I saw it again miles away in Dewsbury. Yesterday, looking out my window I saw this blue bird. I’m telling myself it’s the same one.

Forever in awe of my cats who find creative ways to have fun. Here they are treating their toy to lunch. Or, they’re planning to eat it.
