Why There’s No August Newsletter, *Hint* Well Wishes Ahead

Hello all! Usually the monthly newsletter hits down in the first week of the month. If I’m honest, it entirely slipped my mind last week! Instead of pelting one together slapdash style, I’ve decided to say welcome and thanks instead :).

I’ve noticed quite a few new subscribers lately – WELCOME! I’m also chuffed to see those who subscribed since I restarted blogging in 2020 still here – THANK YOU!

Bit of background for the newcomers: I blogged on Pages Unforgotten from 2011 – 2016, did the most, burnt out, switched sites over four times (yes 4), and came back to where it all began cause in the end, I guess I couldn’t keep away lol.

Coming back coincided with writing my first novel-length MG Jeremy Gill is Not the Chosen One, which incidentally is longlisted here. Fingers crossed for the short list and of course a win :).

There’s lots of content on my site and you might need a hand deciding where to start even if you’ve been here a while. For a well-rounded selection of what’s available, here are a few posts and pages you can check out:

The newsletter will be back in September – newsletters are always within a regular post as I don’t believe in sending tons of emails.
