The @corastillwrites pitch email blew me away, the manuscript floored me & this chapbook will have you looking at statues and bodies and the world in a whole new way. It's fun, funny, and thought-provoking. MOSTLY SOLDIERS is a work of art, for all. stanchionzine.com/product-pa…

Just overheard a toddler with the thickest Bristol accent talking about mermaids and sea monsters and she sounded like a tiny pirate! 🏴‍☠️

Today's Sea Shanty Sunday is 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' by Gordon Lightfoot. More of a lake ballad than a sea shanty, but it works. corastillwrites.wordpress.co…

Ep 232 out today: The pieces fall into place for the invasion of Mauritius - how will that all play out? Plus resolution for Stephen, a boiled baby for Tom Pullings, grief and anger for McAdam, un-earned glory for Adm Bertie, and delightful news from home for Jack Aubrey.
