A Bump re the monthly comp. You know it makes sense. Always let those words unload, because I won’t be there when you cross the road.

Happy birthday for this month, Ath! I’m not far behind you. It all feels quite unbelievable.

I shall be 65 this month. For most of my life, that was a significant date. It was the year that you became an Old Age Pensioner. Not now. It was a Labour government that did that. Hey Ho.

Ta ever so, Gail. My little story is about real people I knew a long time ago, and a real bar, so it was easy in a way. I liked your theme and I liked Sandra’s entry too. Pity about the numbers but that’s the way things are right now.

Sweep Weep
Shit! That’s Gaz over there. He mustn’t see me like this. Oh my God! I don’t even know how he got into those jeans. I can see the bulge of his iPhone. He’s looking my way. Stay busy with the cart, keep my hood up, pick the big brush. He’s never going to recognise me.

Really interesting. The sales figures are astonishing; a group of authors up there with Stephen King, Stephenie Meyer etc. but a million miles from household names.

Rose the Cat
One day when I was seven, my sister Rose turned into a cat. I expected it because Rose had said βYou wonβt catch me here much longer. Not like this.β Mr Cobden, the old man at the end of the road next to where the people had little walls all over their garden that my mum said were βcommonβ, said to us that we would both live long…[Read more]

What a brilliant review. I hope this generates some activity/interest/sales!
Incidentally, I see that Carol McKay wrote a pandemic novel that just beat the actual pandemic to publication, as did Kimmery Martin and Lawrence Wright. But they got splashed all over the papers and radio for it. Not a fair world.
