Getting ready for the dark nights...

Firstly, 

here's a dark knight.

Feel better?

Secondly,

(to bring some of you up to speed)

I'm co-writing a novel

with the writer, B.R. Marsten

(of 'Oliver' fame)

and the first chapter is up for review, here.

 B. R. Marsten and I would be delighted

if you could pop over and have a (free) read.

We'd love to know if you can read it on your device,

and if you enjoy it.

What's it about? 

It's the picaresque adventure

of a woman of low repute,

Mabel Bunt.

I'd insert a picture of Mabel here,

but all I have are rough sketches.

That's ok.

 Mabel is a pretty rough kind of girl,

living in a changing world;

a world that has corsets and daggers and masks.

(Yes, there'll probably be a doll, too.)

Thirdly,

I'm having a lot of fun with my 

Gloomy Tea Sets.

I'll be making them all the way to Halloween!

I've had a couple of lovely people 

commission a dolls' tea set,

which is a delightful idea.

I'm open to all kinds of suggestions,

(including pretty ones)

and if there's something special you'd like

just let me know.

Hot tea and a book to read.

That's one of the best things

about long dark nights.
