I noticed about halfway through this morning, in the midst of running errands and nothing much to do with writing, that today is my 3-year self-publiversary. My first self-pubbed book launched on 1 April 2016 (I picked that date for a reason, honest!), and hey, here I still am. I published a post for my …

I only noticed this about half an hour ago (it's latish afternoon here in the UK), but today is my 30-month or 2.5-year self-publiversary! Yes, two and a half years ago I unleashed The Secret Notebook of Sherlock Holmes on an unsuspecting world, and then, well, I just kept going. 30 months feels like a long time …

This post was scheduled to go out yesterday: I held it over due to the continuing election coverage. Today's a pretty big day. Yesterday was the UK general election, so by now we may know who's in charge of the country for the next 5 years (although I suspect we won't). [Edit: well, that shows …
For the last couple of years I've done an Easter egg hunt for the boys. Last year I was a bit lazy (and pushed for time) and I recycled some of the clues. Which of course they spotted immediately. And they also noted that the Easter Bunny's handwriting is exactly like mine. Not much gets …
