A massive pile of brown cardboard box packages on a flat cart from UPS. They're stacked wonky because the UPS guy ran into the wall a bit.

This big pile of 23 boxes is what I had yesterday at work! 🤣
It's not too bad. UPS guy is lovely. BN would get 100+ boxes a day so.
But last night we had events! So I didn't get it done. 😭 I actually really love receiving books because I get to see all the cool stuff.

It's a pleasure to have you in the anthology.

I am delighted to say my publishing house, Scott and Lawson Publishing, will be releasing a new Anthology - A Right Cozy Christmas Crine - in July 2025. Congratulations to all the contributing authors #anthology #cozymystery

When your book shoots to number 2 in the charts. WooHoo. If you have ever thought about writing a book about your passion, now is the time to start. Non-Fiction Matters takes you through every step from idea to publication books2read.com/NonFictionMa... #bookwriting

I talk about niching down and how that can help you sell more books in the book itself. I also have a book called Marketing Matters. You are in a good position as niche means it is easier to find your audience.

Everyone has a passion. Turn that passion into a book to educate, entertain and inform others. From idea to publication Non-Fiction Matters will help you through it. books2read.com/NonFictionMa... #writeabook #nonfiction

What a fabulous trip to The Ivy, Covent Garden with Safeena Chaudrey. God food and fantastic company. Everyone has to do it at some point in their life. As writing deals were done here in the past, I felt part of literary history. #writerslife

Thank you.

I am delighted to say Non-Fiction Matters, book 4 in my Writing Matters series, will be available soon. I am proud to say it was the winner of the prestigious Janetta Bowie Chalice for a non-fiction book. #writers

Thank you for sharing.

I love this series. My favourite has to be The Last Camel Died at Noon
