A photo of the Author Shan L Scott, her face partially hidden by the book she is holding, a hardcover copy of Curse of Perdition. Shan weara a black knitted jumper, and the background is light with white furniture and curtains.
Hi to all the awesome readers out there π₯° I'd like to ask... if you've read any of my books I'd be so grateful if you could return to your place of purchase or Goodreads and leave your honest review or rating. It helps me more than you may know.
Thank you π©·

Its interesting how people will happily see multiple fireworks events a year in Aussie cities that cost millions, while the homeless exist in plain sight around them, and yet still blast a single light show in Alice Springs to celebrate Aboriginal culture as a waste of $$$.

A small section of the desk of author Shan L Scott, as she is preparing to write. There is a small lilac coloured desk fan, a pair of white, JBL headphones, a typewriter style keyboard that glows with rainbow lights, and a keyboard wrist rest that is decorated with the artwork, Starry Night, by Vincent van Gough .

An image of two DVD sets, seasons one and two of Carnivale.
Today's watch... 2003's 'Carnivale'.
A total masterpiece of a TV series. Only 2 seasons, but that's all that was needed.
I think it's on HBO Max.

End of the week and perhaps a rainy weekend ahead. Not much I can do about the state of the world, except keep writing stories that will hopefully bring a little distraction and joy to all of you wonderful folks out there. It's going to be a #writing weekend.

I Am Australian
YouTube video by Bruce Woodley - Topic
I know this is a song about Australia, but it could be a story about people just about anywhere. It speaks to my heart about our similarities rather than our differences. Together we can move mountains π©·

We are living in dark times... sometimes it feels hopeless and I don't know how to help. But even small actions can make a big difference in the life of another. I try to help, in the only way I can, through small acts of love and kindness. 'We are one, but we are many' - Bruce Woodley, Dobe Newton

Hi friends, just wanted to offer a gentle reminder that just because you've been friends with someone a long time, doesn't mean you have to keep being friends with them. If people treat you badly, it's okay to walk away. Others will love you in the way they didn't π

Paused the movie to go mow and whippersnip since it had cooled down and now I need to lie down π
It's almost dark and still way too hot out there.

A picture of Brisbane Street, Ipswich, in Queensland Australia at night. There are fairy lights wrapped around the tree trunks, and rustic street lamps. Car tail lights glow in the night.
The Ipswich Parklands river walk at night. Massive Moreton Bay Fig trees stretch their canopies above a quiet street, lit by rustic street lamps.
I started writing again today, it's been a long hiatus.
I've circled back to a book I started 2 years ago, it's a MASSIVE story and I don't think I was ready for it then, but I am now.
So, full steam ahead on this trippy story set in my own beautiful city.

This is why you should consider the Huntsman spider a beneficial house guest. I have a couple, and they work free of charge, though they do fascinate Nando.

A grey cat and a black cat sleep deeply on a single sofa lounge. There is a blue patterned cushion and the grey cat is resting his head on it as he sleeps.
Bought a second hand Ikea sofa bed chair thing yesterday and my bebbies are in love with it. Such sweet little dudes π©΅

A photo of the book Curse of Perdition by author Shan L Scott lays on a white table. A cup of hot chocolate in a blue bug, and a pair of reading glasses with clear frames sit next to it. A bookmark peeks from the top of the pages.
It's a cosy, rainy weekend here in South East Queensland π§ and what better way to spend the days than with a hot drink, a warm blanket and a good book π

Two paperback books lay on black, darling fabric. One book is Curse of Perdition and The other is The Rebels Guide, both are by Author Shan L Scott.
Two different books, with two different themes, both exploring the light and the dark sides of human behaviour. Within these pages you'll find love, loyalty, betrayal, despair... and hope.
Which will you choose?
