As a treat for you, here is a new video for "Tamsin: An Artisan-Sorcerer Novel".
Behind the scenes, there's a lot happening. To accompany the publication of the 5th Artisan-Sorcerer novel, all four previous novels are currently being revised/edited anew. So not only are the books about to be given the new covers which have already been revealed, but all five books from the series will leap onto bookshelves at the same time!
A publication date has yet to be finalised, but we're looking at spring 2027.
Our small urban garden currently looks more like a small urban weed patch. I've either not had time, or not had the weather, to clear the patio of junk that grows between the paving stones. The plant pots need weeding too, and some need topping up with fresh soil, and a few plants have outgrown their pots and so they need either repotting into bigger pots (with fresh soil) or splitting and repotting into two pots. The lawn resembles someone's DIY covid lockdown haircut.
On top of that, you may recall, from earlier this year, me accidentally pushing my hand through the shed roof. The roof was rotten and soggy already, and the walls of the shed are well past their best too, and so its demise was not quite the dramatic act of vandalism that it at first sounds. My hand shot through the roof like a pen nib through tissue paper. However, since then the roof has got droopier and soggier, and has now caved in altogether. There is nothing of financial value stored in the shed, which begs the question of why bother to store any of it in the first place. Some of those semi-derelict DIY bits and peices have been going to come in handy since they were stored there when we moved into this property some eleven years ago.
