Twitter has finally let me back on - right in time for my last day of 2024 with you! Today is #SundayFunday, and I'm thinking about #Christmas! What festivities were around in the period you're writing? #HistoricalFiction

@emswifthook @for_fi Oh no! This doesn't sound tasty at all!

@HistWriters @for_fi Probably Rennies are the best consumable to keep on hand when editing - and maybe paracetamol as a chaser...

It's #WhatsHappeningWednesday, Writers! What's your news? #HistoricalFiction #History

@for_fi @emswifthook I love coconut 🥥 Coconut Haystacks are absolutely amazing - especially when they goo all over the rice paper!

@HistWriters Coconut?? @emswifthook we need your input here!

@rdhandy2 As a teacher, I totally get this! You DO NOT touch anyone else's mug in the staffroom!

@HistWriters Another #WWII snippet from my #WIP. Alan Turin's genius conceived the Bombe computer for codebreaking at Bletchley Park. Strange habit - he didn't like sharing his mug with anyone - so he chained it to the radiator in his office. #spy #HistoricalFiction

Today is #FunFursday! Share a snippet of your stories on the theme of READING & WRITING (always an interesting topic in the realms of #HistoricalFiction).

@for_fi It's got to be chocolate for me! And if there happens to be toffee and coconut in the chocolate, that's even better!

@HistWriters Hmmm I see a great thread here on “Favourite foods while editing”. I’ll go first:

My next #spy #thriller is on the theme of espionage in computing during WWII. I love the phones at Bletchley Park with a warning that calls are not secret. No voice encryption back then! @histnovsoc @HistWriters @MilHistMag @ExeterNovelPriz

@LynnBry29527024 Yey! Congratulations!

And it's here! Welcome to book 9 of the #PeninsularWarSaga. #AFormidableFrontier takes Van Daan's brigade over the border into France. Of course they're taking the usual gang of hangers-on, so anything could happen... #histfic #newrelease #Napoleonic amazon.co.uk/Form.../dp/B0D…...

I'm currently in 15th century Florence with spies, pilgrims, priests, and traitors! How's your Wednesday going, Writers? #WhatsHappeningWednesday

@for_fi Ah yes, the never-ending cycle of editing! Good luck - and remember: editing is always improved with snacks!

@HistWriters I finished another edit yesterday! Today I start again! Yay!

#HistoricalFiction #WIP. Research on codebreaking. Atlantic convoy Oct 1943. Small red dots are our ships. Only 3 escorts. Hunted by twelve U-boats. Didn't stand a chance. @HistWriters @ExeterWriters @histnovsoc @cusslerOFFICIAL
