More than Murakami: wrote about new translations of work by Eli Yagi and that contrast the interior worlds of single women with exterior expectations.

Hi friends. The house was too quiet and I had to get away. Spent a few days by the water. First, a place Maggie loved as much as I do. Each time emotions got the best of me, dolphins, deer, pretty “floofs” or a random paraglider interceded and all made beautiful distractions. 1/5

It's #BandcampFriday and times are tough- for some more than others.
If anyone buys my music today, I will give 100% to for the great work they do in relieving hardship. Real help for those who need it most- and you get great music! X

And it's happy UK pub day to ! A bit proud of this one as it's the first time I've had a simultaneous release in OZ & UK (& not enough OZ authors get a look-in in that market I feel). A cracking tale to boot I might add!

As lockdowns ended, people returned to work. Many pets were surrendered for adoption. This has strained services like the Rabbit Sanctuary, where I adopted Dotti.
If you have the means to donate towards food and veterinary costs, it would help immensely.
