A guide to neurodiverse characters in my books, as of 2024. (Check out the grid early in the post for the current complete list.)
The ideas behind Shoemaker’s Wife: returning from the Great War, theatre in Albion, and making connections in Trellech.
Let’s take a look back at 2023: books that came out, things written, what’s been happening on the Patreon and Discord, and some website and wiki notes.
Ideas for 2024 reading challenges (with some help about which of my books fit some prompts.)
Shoemaker’s Wife is full of theatre, making a marriage work, and a mystery in 1920.
Recently, a friend commented on how much she loved the alt-text on my images, and I promised I’d do a post talking about how I think about that. I’m aiming this at people talking about things like book covers – whether you’re a reader, a librarian, or an author – though I’ll be linking to some more general resources as well, some of which talk about describing more complex images.Â
Now that I’ve talked about what I got up to in 2022, it’s time to look forward into 2023. I’m incredibly excited about my plans for 2023. There’s quite a lot to come! Publication dates may shift a little, but I expect them to be fairly close to the following. Coming out in 2023 This year, I’m alternating between a series of 1920s books (Mysterious Arts) and books dealing with the Second World War (the Land Mysteries series).
It is the time of year where a roundup of what I did seems useful for a variety of reasons. (Come back next week for what’s coming in 2023!) What came out in 2022 I put out four novels, two novellas, and a substantial extra in 2022. That’s a lot! Links here that aren’t the title (in the header) will take you to my public wiki. There you can see more details about people and places.
