Quick WIP update! Progress has been really slow, but I'm still chipping away my historical mystery/adventure, which is long enough now that I'm working on splitting it into 2 books. Here's a photo I took last summer of one of the locations from the story, Corfe Castle. #amwriting

@scyian Thank you so much, that's really kind. I'm not doing Mastodon at the moment because I already feel like I struggle to keep up with the social media I've got, but if I change my mind I'll get in touch. Wishing you all the best with your beautiful writing and artwork :)

There was a lot about Twitter I really enjoyed, so I've been reluctant to delete X altogether. But having read about some of Elon Musk's latest comments, & the way this platform has been used to stir up hate, I'm logging out now, probably for good. 1/2 theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Sorry for the political post but this is important. You must vote. Whether there's sport on or holidays, you must vote. Arrange a postal or proxy vote. But vote. Make sure you have correct photo ID & vote. Don't be complacent. Don't throw away what's left of your rights. Vote.

@emswifthook I do love a snuggle blanket for reading. Even better if you can look regal in it 😁

A woman whose courage was astounding. The perils of her landing and the subsequent bombardment she endured from the Parliamentarian navy - not to mention the rescue of her little dog left alone under cannon fire! - were fabulous inspiration for a scene in one of my books!

I am stunned my story made the longlist of the HWA Dorothy Dunnett Short Story Competition. Thank you. It is Dorothy Dunnett's Centenary and entering this was my way to mark that—a tribute to one of the finest writers ever and my great inspiration. Congrats and good luck to all!

Just a few of the lovely library books I read and enjoyed recently. For more bookish content (and photos of castles and stuff) I'm over on Instagram and Threads as @elle_scribbles 😁

The South-West Gatehouse at Corfe Castle. The western tower was undermined by sappers when the Parliamentarians slighted the castle in 1646, causing it to slide a few metres down the hillside. I think it still looks pretty impressive, considering.
