Retired editor and proofreader, now full-time writer. I love fantasy, sci-fi and romance, but if there's a good story any genre will float my boat.

@dinnydaethat @KiaThomasEdits Ooh - gotta get a copy! Congrats @KiaThomasEdits

@CatherineDunn8 Red and gold if you're a royalist, with all the pomp and pageantry we've recently seen; the other two may be swayed by sports teams people might follow. It's not to say that responses are intentionally biased, but we may be unconsciously swayed by what we are seeing most in life.

Highly recommend to both novice and more experienced writers the following summit (4 days). It's an annual summit and has always been worth its weight in gold. Starts this year in two days' time:

@CatherineDunn8 All factor 50 sunscreens are not created equal. It's not regulated (weirdly – it should be imo), so try changing brands. Having said that, factor 50 is not total block. It's not meant to be and some (limited) sun is good for you.

@ChadRAllen Loved the stuck-asaurus

@CatherineDunn8 My preference: either of the bottom two, although I'm possibly drawn more to the blue one. The backgrounds are too busy in the upper two, detracting from the beauty of the blooms.

@RFaithEditorial I track, not to know the number (as you say, who cares), but to make sure I don't purchase twice. Nice for the author, but less so for my finances.

@GeckoEdit I'm still a pestle and mortar girl – guess I'm an anachronism! ☺️🤭☺️🤭

[Katherine Swailes @KathySwailes]

@The_CIEP @BookMachine @KiaThomasEdits Awww, sorry I missed this. Serves me right for not looking at my social media accounts often enough! I'm sure you were a delight.

[Katherine Swailes @KathySwailes]

@KiaThomasEdits Oooh, didn't know it was the year of the Ox - I think that's me! Okay, now you're trying to figure out my age, lol.

[Katherine Swailes @KathySwailes]

@CatherineDunn8 Lovely. And we're not yet into autumn colours ... but soon.

[Katherine Swailes @KathySwailes]

@racheljrowlands Congratulations. Every completion is a victory.
