Hello friends,
I wanted to post some photographs of the beautiful blossom in Cambridge at the moment. It is really cheerful and joyful to see. It has been a long winter, not cold, but a lot of dark days. Spring is always so lovely in England. Perhaps because of the temperate weather, the seasons are always so gentle as they blend from one to another. I have been finishing a screenplay this week. I started back in the summer and keep going back to it. Writing scripts is so different to novels, but I do enjoy it very much. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Cxx

I wanted to post a short blog about Goodreads. I know that it is a great resource for readers who want to find books in a genre they enjoy. As a writer, I have yet to understand how to connect with readers who enjoy my books on the platform. Some authors do so really well. If any readers have thoughts about what works well on Goodreads I'd love to know. I saw one author running polls about their characters on Goodreads. With so many different places to join, connect, talk on and comment through, I must admit I do find it hard to keep up! If ever you want to get in touch with me, I'm usually on Twitter every day. I like it most because it has gone after eight minutes most of the time (viral tweets not withstanding). I like the immediate nature of the posts. The easy way to connect with anyone. Perhaps I should have called this blog Twitter. Perhaps I will come to understand how, as an author, I can enjoy Goodreads more. But, I think for now, I am stretched too thin. Cxx I wrote a poem this morning...
Can’t Take My Soul I knew a man who once was there, who once there was, I knew a man. A man I knew who was not good, no good this man was everywhere. I knew a man who came to ravage Ravage our land, from left and right and right and left, and up and down and down. And up. He took it all. He took our children. He wouldn't stop until the end. But at the end was left my soul. My soul was still, but still at the end was my soul. My soul was at the end. He could not take that Take my soul he did not. For he did not know me, or I him a stranger from afar. He thought he'd win. Win, to win, to win. But he lost. Hearts and minds. Mothers and sons. Fathers and daughters. He lost us, he lost them He lost everyone. He took. Took took Everything but not our souls, not our spirit No matter how he fought. He never understood. Pity the man who cannot feel Who cannot share, cannot love For he is truly alone in this land and no friend of ours this man Charlot King Hello friends,
I wanted to let you know that I have started a book club. It might take some peoples' minds - if just for a short while - away from all the heartbreaking things going on in the world. I am sure my book club will be very small, but in case anyone else would like to read 'Where the Crawdads Sing' Delia Owens, I shall be posting about it next weekend with my review. If you have read it, do let me know what you think. Link below to Book Club. Happy reading! Cxx Hello Friends,
today I am posting a link in case you'd like to download 'Valentine's Day Kiss of Death' along with other books available through something called BookFunnel which are either free or currently on sale. Valentine's Day is currently only 99 pence at the moment. Hoping you all have a lovely day. Cxx |
