Show me you're a writer without saying you're a writer✒️📖

I'm in here!!

Slipping back into the stranger of my two ongoing WIPs. Working on these two at the same time is working weirdly well - both are very dark in their own ways so give me a bit of relief from the other!

Love finding little notes in second-hand books. WHO IS SWEDE? WHO IS SNOOZE? These are from 'Good Faeridles, Bad Faeries' by Brian Froud.

I'd absolutely love to find them. Might it be possible, if this post is shared, shared, shared?🧚‍♂️👀📖

So pleased to be included in this gorgeous anthology from @panmacmillan and illustrated by the ever-wonderful @chrisriddell50 .

Look out for two pieces from me - one about the Morrigan and one about Norwegian trolls🏔I want to do so many things about trolls in the future🖤

I've done the #threads thing, and begun with a list of all the #inbetweenplaces in life where I've tried to write and failed. Fun times!

I'm reading a poem! Just for YOU.

From my @ValleyPress collection, LITTLE QUAKES EVERY DAY. A lovely poem about death and war and blood and violent Irish goddesses. Hurray!

Tonight should've been a night to drive through those second draft edits, but instead I'm incapacitated by a sore neck that's been getting worse all day.

Anyone else wake up with atrocious neck pain almost on the same date every two years, or is it just me?!

We are so happy to announce MOTHTOWN, @carolinehwrites's utterly brilliant speculative novel, with a haunting story that's perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson.

Fading of the veil. Souls. And dancing in the rain.

Cosy into a chair and listen to a spooky little poem from my first collection, Bone Ovation, published by @valleypress . I quite like this one😊🌧☂️
