New micro! "Alice Should Have Known Better" is out in the latest issue of Trash Cat Lit! This was part of their pop up call where I was given three random things to make a story from. I got falling, an unlikely hero, and at a festival.

You can read it or listen to me read it on their website.

Huge thank you to JP, the EIC and founder of @trashcatlit , for designing the prompted pop up, picking my micro, designing the collage to accompany my author photo (look at slide 4!) and all the other work on the website.

I'm very excited to be joining these awesome authors, several of whom I have had the opportunity to workshop with in the past through SmokeLong Fitness.

Made out so well at the library book sale! The last time I moved I devastatingly got rid of my Goosebumps books, so I need to fix that. Happy to find Beast from the East because it was the first Goosebumps I ever read. And always happy to add musical soundtracks to my collection, especially different cast recordings.

Happy autumn equinox witches. Mulled wine tea. Celebrated with a lime passion fruit slushy, pizza, lime & coconut cupcake, and watching Jawbreaker for the first time. What 1999 magic.

Kiki enjoyed my shoes after my morning jog where there were loads of geese.

Went to the Jersey zoo and got to feed the giraffe! Been on my list for a while. Happy I got to do it.

The Raven said hello (and I really want someone to teach raven to say Nevermore).
Playful lion cubs & a sleeping hyena.
Pelicans & penguins
Cow nose rays are like seas puppies and love being pet.

What a freaking legend Lily Allen is. An amazing show, an amazing audience. A one woman act I'm so happy to have gotten tix to. I loved the cello group opening. They were so talented. May we not have to wait another 4 years for new music.

PS the ice cube tray came with very specific instructions that it is for food use only 😂
