Happy Halloween! A Gloomy Night, a Gothic Read & Possibly No Sleep
<p>Happy Halloween everyone! I’m currently curled up reading “Victorian Gothic” by D R Miller. Not my usual genre to read but perfect for a gloomy Halloween binge. It’s so atmospheric and the writing is beautifully descriptive as well as being pretty damn scary too! Might not sleep tonight.</p>

My children's book update
<p>My children’s book is coming along, albeit slowly. The artwork is proving a bit troublesome to faithfully recreate, being as it’s 40 years old and well worn! We’re getting there though.
