State of the TAM - 6th September
So Izzy’s lump on her back went down after a round of anti-histimines…. Then she ripped her dew claw off running in the field.
She had to go to the vet and have it nipped off to the nub. Then they bandage her up—very dramatically—to stop her chewing at it. The sock didn’t last long, but she’s been pretty good anyhow! She is feeling much better now, and all her nails are clipped down.
(She walks with her wee toes cocked up? So only her middle two nails get smoothed down when she’s out for a walk.)
And just in case you missed the Flash newsletter…
Stone the Crows by TA Moore is now available in audiobook, narrated by the EXTREMELY talented Graham Mack. I’ve been DYING for this to come out since I first heard Graham’s audition. I luuuuuurve his voice! I hope you guys enjoy his version of the Wolf Winter guys too!
And, of course, Footwork by TA Moore, aka me!, will be out on September 10th! It’s very exciting :D People who have read it tell me they liked it!
For the record I loved the characters :D
Check out MMRomanceReviewed for a teaser extract!
And check LoveBytes to see a snippet of my most-played songs while I wrote Footwork. It’s not well-curated, but it is honest :D
Oh, and if you are going to GRL I have extended my preorders for a few days. So if you want to order a signed copy for GRL, now is the time!
Pupdate of the Week
@tamoorewritesTook a walk over in Greyabbey tonight since it was still quite muggy. I think they had fun! #greyabbey #staffylove #staffysoftiktok #eveningwalk #writingstaffies [image error]Tiktok failed to load.Enable 3rd party cookies or use another browser
It is really hot this week (for us!) so taking them out late for a quiet wee dander around. They enjoy it and they’re knackered when they get home :D
Shout-Out of the Week
Don’t look. It isn’t there.
On the day Eli almost drowned in Coup d’Oeil Lake, a boy pulled him to shore and took him to a carnival. Nobody saw the boy or the carnival—not the lights, not the crowds, not the rides. So Eli kept quiet and ignored what he’d seen. He’s good at ignoring things now…
Except for the shadows.
Those he can’t ignore.
One step from homelessness and flirting with assault and battery every time somebody pisses him off makes the caretaker gig on out-of-the-way Greenwood Glen a safe place for Wade to cool his jets for a while. All he has to do is take care of a ramshackle house nobody lives in. Easy peasy.
At first.
The house was quiet until the prickly Elijah Gray returned home with his fluffy cat and woke something up.
Something dark and mysterious… and deadly.
The Extraordinary Locket of Elijah Gray is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series. Each book stands alone, but each one includes at least one visit to Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it’s on, so each visit is unique and special. This book contains a lonely artist who sees ghosts, a fuzzy black cat, a disgruntled caretaker, and a guaranteed HEA.
NOTE: Expect some dark “horror” scenes, but Gus the cat will be living a very long and very happy life.
I love this song so much :D I had to make my own fanvid for my own book. LOL. I’ll take it down in a couple of days so I can put a ‘proper’ ad type one up. But I thought this was pretty cool.
@tamoorewritesBook vibes! This is the perfect song for my latest book. So I made my own fanvid. 😂 [image error]Tiktok failed to load.Enable 3rd party cookies or use another browserMust Read of the Week
I get very excited about Writing Space Improvements (I tried two monitors, but I just find them extraneous! I’ve not got enough going on :D). However, absolutely positive I’d face-plant off one of these if I got it.
It’s not that I can’t walk and do things at the same time, but at least 60% of my attention has to be on my feet. Otherwise someone is going to be lying in the road getting helped up by old men again, and that someone will be me!
Behold the Rise of the Walking PadThey’re compact, and they’re relatively inexpensive. Are they changing how we work for the better?
