Excited to get this in the post today. Ælfric of Eynsham’s writings formed the basis of much of what Brother Wilfred says in ‘Kith’. Find out more about ‘Kith’ at .#writingcommunity #historicalfiction #medieval #medievaltheology #novel #amwriting

Nice pile of the sequel to ‘Kith’ for testing with my book group! Thanks @Doxdirect! Found some funny typos:.‘I think a little brother would be good for you.’ (Broth!).‘My wife is wider than I am.’ (Wiser!).‘It was only the first day of the hat harvest.’ (Hay!).#WritingCommmunity

Layover in Egypt on our way back to the UK. @dcsandbrook’s latest 10yo fan wanted her new best book to come too, and her long-suffering parents had to cart it round the sites! She wants the whole series now and fields trips for all of them.

Books are wonderful, but how about enjoying them aloud with others as people have enjoyed stories for thousands of years? Blog post on just that: #WritingCommunity.
