IT'S OUT TODAY! The story of finding Mum's diaries from 1951/52. They paint a vibrant portrait of the age and the people. Do you know anyone who lived in Kent, or is of an age to enjoy a trip down Memory Lane?

Can recommend meeting another local author for coffee, cake, and lots of discussion about writing and publishing. Sara's work is awesome! 5 stars. No notes. @sara_fox_author

@millareed.bsky.social on my morning walk earlier I listened to the Loneliness pod, then the subsequent pair of shows about Friends/Friendship. Enjoyed. Plenty to say!
Byt first, my 3rd novel (Secrets We Hide From Ourselves) is all about enduring friendship, and how things can be blurred.

And it’s a hat trick!
Today Yours became the third national magazine to feature an article about me finding Mum’s diaries and ‘According to Eve’, the book that was the outcome.
I even made the cover (the tiny pic above Dawn French’s head 😁)

@millareed.bsky.social I’m just reflecting in the rosy glow of being mentioned in The Emergency Chicken. I enjoyed it. Some great points that I related to, especially the bits about how change can feel hard because of how people will react.
Thank you so much for the book plug…

Out today (UK) In Take a Break monthly, you can read how I met Fred’s son, and more about Mum and Fred’s reunion (middle pic) and the heartache that followed. Picture top left is Mum and I on a cruise shortly before she died. Bless you, Mum.

I wrote to MP recently saying I'm appalled by Ofcom's decision to grant Tesla energy a licence to supply electricity in UK &, given Musk was trying to get far right to overthrow gov last year, he should be nowhere near our infrastructure. I asked whether there's anything we can do.

Do you know what your purpose in life is? If so, how did you find out? Has it changed over the years? I have so many questions...

Podcast recording starts this week! The first thing we're discussing is how we deal with change. Does anyone have examples of what has helped you get through big changes?

Why is that you immediately know the names of some characters, and others go through zillions of changes before you decide what they're called? #writingcommunity

Today is the last day that According to Eve is free in the UK, so please do take advantage, even if it's only to look at the glorious pics! (although the love story between the lines will break your heart too)
