One year ago today THINGS WE HAVEN'T SAID was released. My work is a small slice of the book but it changed me, in complicated/painful/beautiful/difficult/freeing/not-done-yet ways. #MeTooK12 #YAlit 1/

@LizzaAiken One of the first of hers I read - I was given the Puffin collection All But a Few in 1973. Has stayed with me for 50 years & her imagination is still a big inspiration. Oddly, I didn't realize until now that the story originally came out in ER II's coronation year.

In the 1953 Coronation year Joan Aiken's first book came out and her long partnership with the artist Pat Marriott began... 👑 But where is the King? 👑

@ElaineDimop I was so glad to be there - and yes to the gloriously inviting illustrations! I always enjoy text + image conversations, and this delightful one had extra special layers to it - can hardly wait til I can hold the world of #MilkweedMeadow in my hands!

@AbraHanen Sharon, I was really hoping you would be there! Thank you for taking the time to attend and for your kind words. Aren’t the illustrations scrumptious?

@AbraHanen @HorrorTree “Darkest Dark” leaves me cold in the warmest way! I love that you use a solstice setting to explore creative doubts. Every crunchy word makes an impact in this chilling bit of writing. Congrats!

If you write or make anything and ever have doubts creep up, this little thing I wrote to face some of mine may feel very real. Thanks to the writers' resource @HorrorTree's #TremblingWithFear for publishing. #100words #drabble #darkfantasy

This week's @HorrorTree #TremblingWithFear edition is a bloody good one, if I do say so myself! A fantastically eerie short from Ariadne Zhou, and drabbles with a distinctly mythological feel from @pipcardstarot, @AbraHanen & @CorinnePWriter. Read it here: horrortree.com/trembling-with…
