The paperback (hopefully out this weekend) will be my loveliest, chunkiest book yet—the spine is just over an inch thick!

And then the last task is to put together a reference doc for if/when I want to write more in this world. 😆

I’m allowed to be happy. I’m allowed to look like a frazzled Muppet. I’m allowed to build a fort out of books and hide inside for a day or a lifetime.

❤️ Thank you so much! Hope you do enjoy it! 😁

You know, I just keep blanking on what to post on Bluesky, and it has been *months*. So, to push on through, how about this:

The weekend is almost upon us, prepare the books and blankets! - Michael

Glad you enjoyed spending more time with these two! 😁❤️

Thank you for the lovely review! 😁❤️

It really *was* the best Sunday! 😆 Nothing beats getting cosy with a book. And thank you—glad you’re looking forward to the release! 😁❤️

Thank you, Ellie! 😁 And it was *so* nice, seriously. I always find it’s so much easier to relax and read when it’s raining!

I’m also further along with this line edit than I thought! I’ll finish the draft today…and then go back to the beginning for another one. 😆 I’ve done all the major rewriting by now, though, so the next one should be a lot smoother. 🤞

Absolute peak Sunday yesterday—I had the whole day to myself, it was raining and grey outside so I got to put on fairy lights and make a cup of hot chocolate, and I sat watching the rain with a quilt around my shoulders and my Kindle good to go.

😁 so glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important.

Lads the HONK I just honked

I can't keep away from these guys, it seems. This makes short number three! 😆 And yay, I'm *so* glad you enjoyed The Naiad's Lover. Thanks for reading! 😁❤️

The answer to that particular question is:

Well well, I blogged again, once again surprising myself, and possibly also the people who subscribed to the website a couple of years ago and are now wondering what's going on with me that I'm all up in their inbox for the FOURTH time this month.

I’m making the most of working outside before the sun hits my patio full on and I run screaming for the shade. That’ll happen in about 10 mins, by my guess. Juuuust enough time to repost this. (Because I *still* keep forgetting to use tags. 🤣)
