We loved hosting ‘Nothing On Earth’ at our @WGC_Central_Lib and Watford libraries earlier this year. It was a brilliant show, and this is sure to be a great event, so come along if you can!

We had such a great evening with Rebecca Wait last night at Hertford Library to discuss her superb novel I'm Sorry You Feel That Way. Look out for our next #HertsWinterReads event at @WGC_Central_Lib with @BelleSchuler on Weds Nov 29th.

You can tell I'm no gastronome. I thought we had a dead mouse in the food cupboard. Turns out it's truffle powder. #culinaryadventures

@housemanwriter Thank you!

Coming to terms with the fact that this wodge of words may now never see the light of day. Agent FB is it has fundamental issues and needs a trip back to the drawing board. It only took me 6 years😣. Guess I’ve got to keep plugging away. Feeling all out of plug. #WritingCommunity

@jaldous Thanks 🙂. Trying!

Heard a really loud knock on the door late last night that disturbed us all. Went downstairs, turned the lights back on, unlocked the door. It was an Amazon delivery driver. The guy said he thought no one was in. I said we’re in, we’ve just all gone to bed. IT WAS 8:45PM.

@paulforbes201 Haha. Yes I’ve heard that you start getting your life back around 6/7. And I guess sanity’s another one of those trade-offs. Oh well.

Our 2yo loves his books. Going to sleep like this is not an uncommon occurrence. He also insists on having his TBR pile within easy reach.

[John Lucas @WordofLucas]

@paulforbes201 Yes the hours really are a killer 🤪

[John Lucas @WordofLucas]

@paulforbes201 Nice 😊
