I know a lot of us are feeling frazzled based on the responses to my usual Sunday reading thread so please take care of yourselves . There is no harm in not doing what you usually do - concentration is understandably shot and at times like this while reading for some is a great distraction for others its not possible - and that’s totally ok - practise yourself care. I find it very up and down at the mo.

This blog piece is for authors and projects who are getting impacted by the current situation.

For your consideration - Queen of Swords Press is a great US indie publisher and next month sees the publication of The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper by AJ Fitzwater on 7th April. This New Zealand author will be doing a facebook chat 3-4pm UTC. More info here https://queenofswordspress.com/product/the-voyages-of-cinrak-the-dapper-2/ I’ve been a fan of this publisher for a while now and how can I resist pirate tales with talking animals? How can YOU?

Take care everyone and if you would like a shout out next week - please contact me via the link in the menu giving me some details.
