A must read : One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin. Set in a hospital, the story of Margot aged 83 and Lenni 17, both dying. Don't let that put you off. It's brilliant. Gentle, insightful, a friendship of the two that evolves as they reveal their past lives.
There are some brilliant people out there, who should be in government and one of them is @YvetteCooperMP. Please share this monumental take down, to which the only response from the government benches is smirking and laughing. None of this is at all funny.
Come on Mr Johnson, you wear a high viz jacket and hard hat when visiting the building site of a "new" hospital, a silly hairnet when visiting food factories. If you can't follow your own advice to wear a mask anywhere else, at least do it in an NHS facility.
I just noticed that my second novel, Because of You I Am is selling on Amazon at £3.99 instead of £8.99, and The Glass Girl at £1.99.
Their pricing strategies are a mystery to me.
I just signed a @MakeVotesMatter petition!
The government is trying to impose First Past the Post for Mayoral and Police & Crime Commissioner elections.
Tell them we need less First Past the Post, not more! https://t.co/tmxTrjTMtx

Superb writing. Usually don’t like historical fiction but loved this. Based on Shakespeare. Characterisation of Agnes - wife - is superb.
I couldn’t work out how she could possibly end it. Wonderful ending. Loved, loved, loved it.
Just returned from two weeks in Outer Hebrides. Sun, snow, hail, bitterly cold but fabulous. Worked on my third novel, The Other, when not walking the beach after received developmental edit from Julie Gray. Asked for tough love and got it. Seems I have some way to go.
