Time for Charity

I guess that my life as a blogger has come to a pretty much complete standstill over the last few years.
Since I still sell some books, and want to keep giving money to charity I decided it was easier to give monthly by direct debit since proceeds are not that much.
So I now donate to UNICEF, British Red Cross, Red Nose Day and the NSPCC from proceeds of my own books.
And I am donating to Diabetes UK Read more of this blog post »

“She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn't fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school's graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn't scare her. It made her feel alive.”
― Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil
