Hello everyone! I just realised there may be followers here on this site who don’t know that I started a newsletter on substack. I started it in November last when I wanted to renew my relation with writing, so I wrote a short story every day that month.

I have decided to take control of my own publishing story and am starting off by republishing White Feathers at the end of March. Here is the subs

Susan Lanigan liked Jamad 's review of Clara and Christina: "I liked this well enough, particularly Christina’s sarcasm, and for me the best parts were the conversations between the two protagonists. There is something entertaining about the dynamic between the older, rather formidable Christina and Clara, and" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Susan Lanigan (?)

“Life mash, Lucia has said, when Eva told her Christopher had gone to war. Eva had asked her what it meant, and Lucia explained it was a patois expression, meaning everything was messed up and broken. Mean life was cruel.”

Susan’s Quotes

“When a German soldier is running at you, there's no point quoting Virgil at him, you're better off kicking a football in his face.”
― Cesca Major, The Silent Hours

“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
