I’d say at a loose end, singular, but assume it’s the same basic expression and you mean you’ve got nothing on and you’re a bit bored, looking for something to do? (Australia)

If you like music, particularly film scores, there is an Australian podcast called The Art of the Score which I really enjoy!

It was so fun! I am always scared of TV versions of beloved books but I think they’ve really got the right vibe going. I’m so happy for you (and us lucky viewers!)

Picture of Pearl's books set up for a signing with all seven of Marina's novels on display and a banner in the background with 'books by Marina Lostetter' on it. Books include the five penalties trilogy, the Noumenon trilogy, and the stand alone novel activation degradation.

Apparently if you write books, you're supposed to sometimes remind people that you write books. (I write books.)

If you like twisty, fantastic tales with everything from serial killers, to body horror, to epic discoveries, my SFF has got you covered!
