The Meerkat Muse: 22nd of April, 2026

So, what can I add to jogging? I'm fairly sure there are weights in the house, somewhere...
I'm sharing reviews of books I've enjoyed on Meerkat Books. To that end, if you have any recommendations (self-recs are fine), please let me know. I'm not asking for freebies, I'm aiming for interesting sci-fi and fantasy reads. meerkatmusings.co.uk... #scifi
Another round of jogging today, albeit I sort of jogged around the house as it wasn't especially warm outside. That might count as cheating, but on the other hand, I did go up and down the stairs a few times.
For the first time in pretty much forever, I went running earlier today. Well, I say running, it was a brisk walk with a bit of jogging thrown in. This may be why I ache a bit.
I've hit over 36K words on one WIP and nearly 20K on another. I feel like I'm making decent progress.
I need to see Project Hail Mary.
OK, maybe not. That was a quick response!
Watching Arsenal pile on the pressure, only to end up behind. Is the bottle job well and truly on?
Not for the first time, I wish my book posts got as much attention as some of my other posts! How about some traction for original sci-fi, dogmatic alien orcs, and epic battles?! #scifi www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0CV...
That feeling you get when someone compliments your tattoos #tattoos
It's not confirmed, so don't take this as gospel, but my third book has been slated for a July release. Exciting times!
It occurs to me that I haven't plugged my second book nearly as much as my first. The 2025 follow-up to The Awakening is The Schism, continuing Seluban's story. Can he defend his revolution from a deadly conspiracy of deposed foes? www.amazon.co.uk/Sch... #Scifi
I have *got* to stop arguing with religious nutcases on the internet!
Back to work after a couple of scheduled days off plus one extra after being sick. Still feel shattered but ready to face another day.
"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr
So Peter Mandelson failed his security check but they allowed him to be the ambassador anyway.
If it was a teacher or a police officer somebody would be going to jail.
Are we entering a golden era of video game adaptations?! Street Fighter actually looks good!
The Thinking ‘Kat: 62 Million (Trigger Warning: Rape, Sexual Assault)
Ever heard the expression 'not all men'? It became something of a rallying cry in the wake of women referencing the ever-present dangers they face in daily interactions with men. Whilst women recounted stories of harassment,…
Mew.
I think I can finally brain again.
Look at all that alien ass!
There's nothing quite like randomly puking one's guts up to start the day with a bang (as I did yesterday).
What might the Man Utd/Leeds Utd match mean for Spurs' survival hopes?!
For most people, 'too far' was a line crossed a long time ago. For even his worshippers, Trump might have crossed that line: meerkatmusings.co.uk... #Trump
The Thinking ‘Kat: How Far is Too Far?
There are many times when you have to stop and consider 'how far is too far?' At what stage can we say 'right, this situation or this person has taken things to an intolerable point?' Your mileage will vary, but considering his performance in opinion polls,…
One minute it's sunny, then dark grey clouds loom, then it buckets down, then it's sunny again. We are definitely in spring.
A bit more promo (because how else is an author to sell books?!). The Awakening, my debut book, is a story of betrayal, rebellion and revenge, wrapped in a dogmatic world where faith and piety are everything. meerkatmusings.co.uk... #Scifi
