Welcome to my page. Poppy is a Steampunk character (the books are over at Amazon). I'm actually an overweight middle-aged writer, hiding behind the character. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08MV8KMYN?ref_=dbs_p_mng_rwt_ser_shvlr&storeType=ebooks
One year ago, Constructing Churchill was published by Tenebrous Texts. The reactions were split between intelligent introspection and frothing-at-the-flag anger.
If you want to read Constructing Churchill and make up your own mind, the link is below. Enjoy!

Is 2026 going to be my year?
I spent five minutes this morning searching the house for my trainers, and eventually found I was wearing them.
So, probably not.
Sort of phased out of social media a few months ago, (and I seem to have given up on Twitter completely, though FB remains a necessary evil) so apologies if I have missed any notifications and new followers.
What a reviewer said:
Constructing Churchill is an hilarious, quite scathing, satirical look at the British establishment
What social media said:
COMMUNIST TRAITOR

A diabolical historical mystery only a polymath can bring down to Earth - a nice mental exercise for Mother's Day

A little anniversary of the publication of my cosy The Shires Mysteries. There are now 5 books in the series.

Coming up in April:
With huge thanks to Anna for the review 😁
Constructing Churchill has managed to get to 19 in Books and Reading on Amazon. I had no idea Books and Reading was even a category 😐
Authors if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line of your book.
Warning: this book may contain scenes of socio-political commentary.

Huge thanks to Tenebrous for having faith in me; the book is available at the following link:

I do like it; priorities!
The book is live on Kindle.
Constructing Churchill; a satirical meta-novel looking at how Winston Churchill the man has been rendered into Winston Churchill the Myth, and how the Establishment sustains itself despite its incompetence, greed, and corruption...
www.amazon.co.uk/Constructing...
A book cover showing a picture of Winston Churchill with a cross-section of scaffolding inside his head, thus visually depicting the construction of the man and the myth, with the title Constructing Churchill below the main image.
Out soon:
Constructing Churchill is a satirical meta-novel investigating how national mythology is used by the English Establishment to perpetuate itself down the generations, with the specific focus being on the populist rendering of Winston Churchill the man into Winston Churchill the Myth
The new novel should be out soon, a work of meta-fiction dedicated to "the woke lefty immigrant atheist PC Muslim Marxist trans gay agenda."
It's that sort of book...
Upcoming releases from Tenebrous Texts. I'm in the top left:
Hey everyone; does this work as a blurb?
Happy birthday, and thanks for the chance to share! How about Romanticism Lost: a thrilling, bleakly comical steampunk adventure of derring-do and totalitarian paperwork?

Having finally finished the last book, which pretty much sucked the life out of me, I'm trying to get some energy to either start the next one or go back and finish an old manuscript that needs a huge amount of editing.
Neither appeals 🙁
Never had a chance to log on yesterday, but anyhoo; the edits are finished and the book is in!
Not, admittedly, a new Steampunk book, (and this profile is usually for my Steampunk series and the general enjoyment of other Steampunky things) but heigh ho, it feels like I've actually done something.
This is already shaping up to be a long week 😬
I joined Blue Sky and one the Poppy books sold over on Amazon; coincidence??? 🤔
PS I should add that getting any sales at all is pretty rare, hence I don't know if this was coincidence or cause and effect...
Nice, though 😁
Hello to my new followers, hope I've followed you all back; I'm still struggling to work out how this site works as I'm not a natural with technology.
At some point, I will start posting some book/writing news, but I've been getting very lax with such things recently as I've mostly given up😵💫
Thank you!
Just landed on this app, stiff finding my feet. Or Steampunk boots.
