State of the TAM - 8th March
I will be joining Rainbow Gold Reviews on March 17th to celebrate their 9th Anniversary! Make sure and join us, specifically me! But there’s lots of cool authors there that day!
And we have a date for GRL registration! I am hoping to go again this year.
Thank you for reading TA Moore Writes. This post is public so feel free to share it.
Pupdate of the WeekWe are having an unexpected cold snap here in NI. Jax has seen snow before but this was Izzy’s first exposure. I think she did pretty well!
@tamoorewritesWe have a yellow warning of snow here, which in newtownards consists of about a lightly tossed two cms of snow so far (but we do have the rest of the week!)#funinthesnow #dogsinthesnow #snowuk [image error]Tiktok failed to load.Enable 3rd party cookies or use another browser
Jax also got his first go in the pool at hydrotherapy. He wasn’t all that sure about that, but hopefully this week will be a little easier. He likes the water, but he’s never been keen on his feet leaving the ground.
@tamoorewritesJax went to hydrotherapy today! He got to go in the big pool, which he was dubious about. He came around though! #staffiesoftiktok #cutedogs #hydrotherapyfordogs #pooltime [image error]Tiktok failed to load.Enable 3rd party cookies or use another browserFree Audio Chapter of the Week
‘Feet of Clay’ by TA Moore is a Lost and Found short story and a prequel to Prodigal. It took fifteen years for Sammy Calloway to find his way home, find out what those left behind did with those years.
You can find Prodigal at most online retailers.
Must Read of the WeekFifteen years ago Sammy Calloway disappeared on his way home from school. Now he’s back… or is he?
Boyd Maccabbee has spent his life second-guessing his actions on that fateful day. What if he’d done something differently? Maybe Sammy would have made it home safe and never become Cutters Gap’s most tragic famous son. Or would it have been Boyd who was never seen again? When the police find new evidence on the disappearance, Boyd hopes to finally get some answers.
The last thing Morgan Graves needs is to be dragged into some old case about a missing kid. He doesn’t know why police hit on his DNA, but he’s not Sammy Calloway. He thinks he’d remember being kidnapped.
He knows he’d remember firefighter Boyd.
Drawn into the complex web of suspicion, grief, and anger that has knit Cutters Gap together in the years since Sammy’s disappearance, Morgan struggles to hang on to himself when everyone already assumes they know him.
And somewhere, the truth about Sammy Calloway is waiting.
I love weird words. This is a fascinating look into the science of this one: petrichor.
Why You Can Smell RainA weather expert explains petrichor – that pleasant, earthy scent that accompanies a storm’s first raindrops.
When those first fat drops of summer rain fall to the hot, dry ground, have you ever noticed a distinctive odor? I have childhood memories of family members who were farmers describing how they could always “smell rain” right before a storm.
This is really fascinating.
Aaron Lecklider @AaronLeckliderThis is going to be a very long and niche gay history thread, so I apologize in advance. But something incredible happened and I have to share it.10:40 PM ∙ Feb 3, 202316,303Likes4,259RetweetsI used to live in Newcastle (in England, not the Newcastle down the road which my family thought I was being very over-dramatic about moving to) and I saw a lot of pets walked. Pigs. Horses. Ferrets.
People just want company when they are outside sometimes :)
