Today for you I have beard lichen from the laurel forest in Madeira, one of the levada walks from back in November. The air smelled so good.

I haven't been to #Dublin in years but that changes today! #Eolas social media conference in #CrokePark. First, an #Edinburgh Airport deconstructed breakfast burrito.

The dwarf iris in the window box will be open in a day or two, but I find them most thrilling when they're like this, slim pencils of potential. Here with hardy pansies that have endured the winter.

"As soon as I added more backstory and sidestory and aroundstory for all the places and things, January started to feel more like a living place." I enjoyed this #onwriting from @charliejane via @stephanieburgis

I'm finally accepting that deep-shade loving plants are the only thing that will grow in the border right outside my home office. So I'm digging up endless foxgloves from around the garden and replanting them here, looking forward to a beautiful June with spires of digitalis.

Wintersweet (chimonanthus praecox) reliably flowers in January in my part of Scotland, and now in December, the buds are fat and promising. To me the scent is like hyacinths. I love its flowers' shredded petals and deep red centres.

Wintersweet, chimonanthus praecox, now 11 years old and producing a flurry of hyacinth-scented raggedy blooms every January-February. I love it.

@geekaren @bookstodon I know I always talk about this book, but WHEN YOU REACH ME by #RebeccaStead ... feels like gorgeous historical middle grade set in the 1970s but is actually stealth #scifi

@vkfarfalle @bookstodon that's an interesting problem and I suffer from the same thing when it comes to my settings – "I can't picture this" is feedback I sometimes get from early readers. If it's any use I really got a handle on plotting through Plot and Structure by #JamesScottBell and Screenplay by #SydField.

US #librarians: on behalf of #authors may I ask, is there any hope of a Public Lending Right equivalent in US, as in UK & Ireland? Authors whose work is borrowed here get a yearly payment. Has this been mooted in US? I just got my PLR payment here in Scotland but something similar from US libraries would be golddust. All comments welcome -- I'm keen to learn.

CW: My day job
Today I am mostly doing holiday photo shoots for the books that were shortlisted for this year's #WalterScottPrize for Historical Fiction. There's so little good light on December days, I need to do this quickly. This is the book that won, James Robertson's NEWS OF THE DEAD, but they will all get this treatment. I'm the social media manager for the prize.

Today for you I have white bluebells; in the background are forget-me-nots and the pink viridiflora tulip Dolls Minuet. This is from my garden in May 2020.

@wendypalmer @bookstodon for a 12-year old who loves mysteries, #JamesPonti has the wonderful CITY SPIES series with a bunch of 13-ish-year old international spies. He might like WHEN YOU REACH ME by #RebeccaStead too, and ORPHANS OF THE TIDE by #StruanMurray also great (though contains some magic.) Maybe #librarians #schoollibrarians can suggest others?

My friends http://Instagram.com/sourdough__sisters have gorgeous goodies and I'm finally getting to try their cranberry and white chocolate scone. SO GOOD. Come by their shop in #Dublin or find them at a market if you can: it's one of the best scones I've ever tasted.

Shout out to Steve Herman using #Mastodon to post in real time about #PresidentZelenskyy's visit to the #WhiteHouse. He captured the moment Zelenskyy presented a battle flag from #Ukrainian heroes to Congress, and
in exchange was presented with an American flag that was flown over the Capitol in his honor. See Steve's coverage from yesterday here https://journa.host/@w7voa/109554636787170862 -
Writers, and readers, I hope you'll say hello to the wonderful @catvalente who not only authored one of my favourite #middlegrade books ever (The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making), but also writes adult #scifi, short stories, etc, including the wonderfully bonkers #SpaceOpera...love that tagline.
Anyway, she's on #Mastodon so give her a big wave.

Today for you I have honesty, lunaria annua, which is actually biennial; I can see where there are seedlings around the garden and if they're small enough I can move them in fall or winter. It's one of the tallest things to flower in the garden in spring. This was taken last April in my garden in Scotland.
