Really interesting and informative meeting with the SOA tonight. Thank you to @TheresaLeFlem and the library for hosting.
Honestly people, however you're published, join a writers' union. You never know when you might need their advice and support in this crazy industry. ๐ โค๏ธ
@camillalookalik Thank you Jane. I've just joined the Guernsey Authors Society, are you a member? I'm looking forward to their next event. Theresa has been super kind and helpful with advice lately, and I'm looking forward to being part of a lovely supportive group. X
Due to unforseen issues with my publisher, I kindly ask that you refrain from buying my books from the publishing company or any other online retailer until further notice.
You are welcome to continue supporting your local bookstore, as always!
Merry Christmas to everyone in the writing community, but especially to Victoria Strauss at Writer Beware who is an angel guarding us writers from the villains of the publishing industry. May your Christmas be filled with peace and joy. ๐๐ โค๏ธ
Thank you for your understanding and support. Exciting news reads are on the horizon- look out for fresh and entertaining stories in 2025!

Has anyone else had any major problems setting up a seller account with @Etsy? I've just paid my setup fee, then before I'd even created my first listing, they suspended my account, took my money anyway and refused my appeal, all while refusing to give me any reason for it!
For goodness sake, I'm not a crook, I'm a disabled mum trying to make ends meet by selling some of my artwork to customers who are already requesting it, without having to always be there in person at craft fayres. Why is it so difficult?!
According to Google, it's likely to be because I use a VPN, which they don't like. Would've happily taken it down if I'd had any idea! No clue how to resolve this. And no, bots, I'm not giving my details to randomers. Anyone suggesting it will be blocked.
