Skulls and Hourglasses | World Storytelling Day

 

In honour of World Storytelling Day, I have narrated my Hookland story The Black Biscuit Baker (or Skulls and Hourglasses). If you enjoy, do check out my Hookland novel Creeper's Cottage. An unsettling tale of strange happenings. Hookland is the creation of David Southwell. It's a mythical county in England where folklore lives and breathes. 'Ghost soil,' as he calls it. You can also find me talking about the inspiration for the novel here.

Moto Africa Life

 

Hi everyone. Most of you know that I drive a motorbike in Rwanda. I have a friend, Asha, who does the same in Cameroon. It's not common to see female bikers in Africa so there's a bit of camaraderie. She just released this video and it's such a good one. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll restore your faith in humanity. Please show her some love with likes and subs.
