I'm hitting the road across south Wales in March to chat all things 'Weights and Measures'. It would be great to see reader and writer friends at Caldicot, Llantwit Major, Swansea and Penarth. Details here:

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a happier one than Lynne and David in the story!
This is tomorrow. There’ll be a big welcome/croeso mawr to my family and friends and readers and writers of fiction. @elaine-canning.bsky.social
Just a little reminder that the event below is 7 days away. It would be lovely to see Swansea reading & writing friends there to share in the chat about all things 'Weights and Measures', Thanks to @elaine-canning.bsky.social for hosting. The event it free but you can register online.
Diolch for reading and posting. Jx
Currently reading: Weights and Measures by Jane Fraser @janefraserwriter.bsky.social. It's described as 'an unhurried historical novel that ends as surprisingly for the characters as the reader,' and with that and my penchant for the #HomeFront #WW2, how could I not?
Thank you. What an idiot I am! I will delete and repost.
'Weights and Measures' publishes today! I'd like to thank #AlanBilton, publisher #WatermarkPress, my husband, Philip at #NBDesign for the cover artwork, my agent @gaiabanks.bsky.social @sheilland.bsky.social, & the wonderful @fflurdafydd.bsky.social & #EurosLyn who were my first readers. Diolch.
Diolch/thanks for publishing this.
Thanks, Jo. Jx
Thank Jo. Didn’t know this had been published! Jx
Really interesting evening. Planning on coming on Sat with granddaughters x 3. Thanks so much. Jx
Thanks so much, Jo. Jx
I'm excited to share the news that my second novel, 'Weights and Measures' will be published by #WatermarkPress on 31st October. As a proudly-based Welsh writer, I'm thrilled to be joining the list of a proudly-based Welsh publisher. More at www.janefraserwriter.com
Glad you enjoyed. I couldn’t get that final image out of my head! J.
Thanks to my publisher @saltpublishing.com for including a new short story of mine 'With You in Mind' in their brilliant House Magazine, "a place where readers can encounter new work, essays, reflections, and conversations from Salt’s writers."

Well you have something to smile about. Enjoy! Jx
Great news. Llongyfarchiadau. It was great discover your wonderful writing last year. I hope you’re celebrating.
Good to be back on my beach. Strong north westerly and a flow tide at Broughton Bay Llangennith Gower Wales. Ideal for kite surfing. I wish! #amwalking #amwriting #aminawe
Sorry for the late reply-I’ve just seen this. Thank you for recommending Advent @honnopress.bsky.social and for all your support. Jx
Thanks to Jane Fraser for this thoughtful reflection on Ghost Town and Wild Twin in Nation Cymru.
‘… Young, through his writing, and his grief, enabled me to summon ‘the ghosts of loved ones.’

Looking forward to this.
This is amazing advice. I have been too close to my second novel in draft. I am now going in again with fresh eyes and see if I can get more narrative propulsion. Thank you so much. J.
Can’t wait to read edition 1.
What an incredible way to welcome our new magazine into the world: with a sold-out event, amazing energy, and readings from four of our brilliant contributors to Issue 001.
THANK YOU to everyone who came out on this rainy Thursday night to celebrate with us. We're still reeling.
The things we leave behind. Timber structures on Gower beaches over the last few days. #PortEynon #BroughtonBay #Llangennith #Gower #Wales #amwalking #amwriting #fiction #senseofplace #ecofeminism #novel
