My book “Casting the Runes: The letters of M R James”is a “Marmite” Book: TLS & The Telegraph hate it, but all it’s readers (apart from 3 Amazon reviewers❤️it)
My books so far: my poetry chapbook Chiaroscuro (printed by the wonderful small press @thealienbuddha & available on Amazon) & “Casting The Runes The Letters of M R James” available in bookstores worldwide (& online/Amazon) I’m currently editing my third book 😊
Today is St Mark's Eve, the "spookiest day of the year after Halloween."

Angel Wings Auroras spotted last night over Lapland, Finland 🇫🇮
A once-in-a-lifetime display where the northern lights unfolded in perfect symmetry, forming what looked like enormous glowing angel wings above the frozen forest.
The rare mix of pink, red, and green auroras only appears during intense solar activity, turning the Arctic sky into something that feels divine.
A moment so surreal it hardly looks real — yet it’s 100% nature.
And a festive special with the one and only Larrmaster, @Number10cat . He is getting interesting in that tree! Played under it for a little while like a kitten (but literally under it, so a bit hard to snap). Good on you, Larry, have fun, you only live once. Ok, nine times 😉.
When police in Turkey were called to a bank where the alarms were sounding, they had one unlikely culprit to deal with...
Instead of arriving at a crime scene, they just found a small cat, meowing to get out.

Dick Van Duijn, a Dutch photographer, captured the viral photos in Austria. He took almost 500 pictures before capturing the exact moment when the Ground Squirrel leaned in, smelled the flower and even appeared to give it a hug. The photographer says the squirrel later decided to eat the flower.
