Ooh, that would be great!

I sold 18 copies when Prima was out - I wasn’t running any ads - so yes, it helps. The harsh truth is many millions of books are published, so no one will find yours unless you shout about it. It’s very hard work!

I hjad a lovely article in Prima last October too, Gill, What I've learnt is that when you get into one mag, sometimes the others get in touch. Every day is a school day! Hope you're ok x

Out today (UK) In Take a Break monthly, you can read how I met Fred’s son, and more about Mum and Fred’s reunion (middle pic) and the heartache that followed. Picture top left is Mum and I on a cruise shortly before she died. Bless you, Mum.

Now up to 39% in favour, 45% against …so a good hard push should be able to turn that poll around

I agree that we must do everything in our power to prevent the spread of dangerous and polarising far right wing ideologies across the UK. We unequivocally condemned the comments you referenced from Elon Musk. As Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said in her response, his address was “abhorrent” and “no-one gets to mess with British democracy”. I would be happy to relay your concerns around the approval of Tesla’s energy license to my ministerial colleagues in the Department Energy Security and Net Zero. Please let me know if I have your permission to do so. Thank you once again for contacting me and for sharing your views. With best wishes

I wrote to MP recently saying I'm appalled by Ofcom's decision to grant Tesla energy a licence to supply electricity in UK &, given Musk was trying to get far right to overthrow gov last year, he should be nowhere near our infrastructure. I asked whether there's anything we can do.
I got this reply

If I’ll be your Other Mother, will you save me some too?? 😁

Now that’s lush!

I believe it isn't a small club!

Things.

Do you know what your purpose in life is? If so, how did you find out? Has it changed over the years? I have so many questions...

Thank you Nige, you might find yourself quoted on the podcast 😁 (I’ll give your books a plug!) it is a personality trait - some of us welcome change and others are terrified. I guess knowing where you are on the line is a good starting point.

Podcast recording starts this week! The first thing we're discussing is how we deal with change. Does anyone have examples of what has helped you get through big changes?

A message from Liverpool:

She made a pass at my (straight) daughter once. And yes, she is brilliant.

Incredible, isn't it!

Terrible, but standard for talent competitions. I read the entry forms for a couple of things like X Factor and Star for a Night and the day the same. No wonder songwriters rarely perform their own stuff - it’s a huge risk.

Enough procrastination! I finished the first draft of my WIP and did a couple of read throughs before getting some eyes (4 pairs) on it before Christmas. Now is the time to start the Serious Editing. Wish me well. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Thinking the same thing. The little pieces of life that used to spark some interaction seem almost inappropriate. Didn’t mean to stop but… yeah. It’s hard.

Of course it is! 😁

Should I watch Zone of Interest? I have much trepidation. Views welcome.

Why is that you immediately know the names of some characters, and others go through zillions of changes before you decide what they're called? #writingcommunity

I’d dispute the useless. There’s been a lot of improvements that have gone unreported by most.

Today is the last day that According to Eve is free in the UK, so please do take advantage, even if it's only to look at the glorious pics! (although the love story between the lines will break your heart too)

In that London. Got myself some new friends.

Can’t see how these work. Any ideas?

6 days left of According to Eve being free. If you have senior citizens in your life, they might well appreciate the memories and old photographs
