First read of 2024

First book of the year read: #TheDrift by the brilliant @cjtudorauthor done blown my tiny mind! 

Cannot recommend enough, clever, clever plotting (but not the annoying kind of clever, clever) and an all-round brilliant read.

My 2023 reads

I thought I'd read more, to be honest, but they were all unique and extraordinary in their own ways.

Words From Wonderland

Late last year, @c.p.press published a collection of short fiction from the writing group I belong to, made up of fellow @theopenuniversity scribes, The Twenty Twenty Club, entitles Words From Wonderland.

I forgot to post about it at the time, foolishly popping it on the bookcase as Christmas was coming and the table needed clearing. My bad!

I have four pieces in #WordsFromWonderland some very short, some merely short.

A great and varied collection, available to purchase from Amazon for £9 paperback, or £5 Kindle (free on Kindle unlimited)
