One of our Astronomers, Apostolos Christou, was able to capture the total solar eclipse yesterday in Port Stanley, Ontario in Canada!

Where's she been? Well I've been a little busy 😅

Growing a new human is tough work so it is! Progress on my book The Dragon of Moors and Mist has been zero 😂 the brain power is not there.

But I know Stephen Black will have my back when I get back to it!

We just had to! Thanks to Barra Best for highlighting that tomorrow's storm is named after one of our favourite astrophysicists. Lurgan born Jocelyn Bell Burnell is a pioneer and discovered one of the most interesting things in our universe. Pulsars!!

I've got my first editorial report to read through today from Stephen Black Black Thoughts Editorial Services

We decided that it would be better for me to get the editorial report in increments so it would be easier for me to work through! I'm excited to see what Stephen has to say

How to spot an Irish person with very very Irish skin in the sunny wild.

Look for the person who is pasty white, sitting in complete shade and is still layering on the factor 50 ☘️☀️🥵

So I'm about to start packing my suitcase, and I am practically vibrating with excitement at packing all the books I want to read!! I can't obviously take my whole TBR pile but still!!
