Sarah that’s really kind of you. Although I might have misrepresented myself because I’m actually a bit dull. When I was a child I spent a whole day putting together a list of the mustelid family from the dictionary. Sure it was a different time and I was stuck in my parents’ office at their motorhome business dying of boredom, but I still remember it as a highlight and would totally do it again (esp now that I left or so many, including grisons, which I’d never heard of until now, and wolverines, which child me would have been thrilled to learn weren’t mythical).
Yay! Love everything about you and your writing even though I can’t quite recall how I (thankfully) stumbled across you! Can’t wait to read your mystery when I can tag on Goodreads 🤪😜 but if you aren’t doing that I will still actually read it as I loved your quirky sci fi book and I also read lots of fantasy as a teen! 🥰🫶🏻 Didn’t know you had a fancy company and were a pioneer in tech writing. How amazing! 🤩🤩🤩
It’s on goodreads Elaine! I meant to tell you the good news! Someone else put it there. I created an account for Kj Lyttleton but haven’t checked if they let me take ownership of the books.
Yay she’s back!! I referenced you in a recent piece here but it didn’t let me tag you btw, I was crediting you and Stewart Lee for inviting me to include fun footnotes.
I missed this first time round, but loved it. What an interesting person you are!!! I'm buying the book to read on my forthcoming holiday

I loved this - especially the bit about the queen! And thanks so much for the shout-out: I'll have to do my best to live up to your kind words now!
Agreed. Rhymes with ham! Who knew!!!
I should have saved the queen and told the whole story. Dammit! Wasted anecdote.
You still can!

Oh I didn’t know people could pop it on there. Yay! Almost finished with current book. 🥳
Is there a story behind the pen name?
Yes! I will tell it soon. Don't get too excited though... It's more "huh" than "wow!"
😅😂 Hah! Fair enough. Look forward to hearing it. ☺️

I find the tagging is quite erratic here for some reason. (And thank you!)
Here it is (and I'm still amused by footnotes so thank you) https://penfriendrocks.substack.com/p/on-release-day-these-two-words-have
ALSO this is a fab post and I liked learning more about you, and I might steal this template if that's ok x
