I am delighted to have been featured on the BBC twice in December, talking about Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary.

Time for trip number two for October - this time, Time for trip number two for October - this time, to Spain. I am very much ready for an Andalusian adventure, and also some blue skies and sunshine. Belgium was terribly grey last week, so I am looking forward to seeing some sun. Keep safe, my friends. Chat soon x

I am super excited to share that I will be part of I am super excited to share that I will be part of the brilliant Milton Keynes Indie Book Fair on 25 October. I really hope to see many of you there, where I will be showcasing The Magical Mister Mishkins series. @mklitfest @magicalmistermishkins
I missed the supermoon as I was away, so I was thr I missed the supermoon as I was away, so I was thrilled to get this shot of the moon creeping up over the trees last night to see whether I was back in Norfolk. The answer is yes - but only until Tuesday. Having thought Aachen would be the last of my travels, this month is hectic. I am feeling lucky to be able to go and do all these things, but I am so grateful to be cuddling @magicalmistermishkins right now. When I can take photographs of the moon and have Mishkins by my side, I know that all is right in the world.
What else to pour tonight but a Sancerre in honour What else to pour tonight but a Sancerre in honour of the incredible Jilly Cooper. I was introduced to Jilly's work in my first year of university and Sancerre in my second year. For me, the two go hand in hand, and even though I am in Belgium tonight, I just had to find a bottle to have so I could raise a glass in her honour. Jilly, your work made me laugh, cry, and want to be a better writer. Sandstorm, now under the name @adelaide_halsey__author is in your vein. This is such a huge loss, and I hope you dance in the stars with all you have loved before. Sleep well, Monica will miss you.
We have made it to the last quarter of the first q We have made it to the last quarter of the first quarter of this century. It's rather crazy when you think about it like that, as I swear the 1990s were just a few years ago. With acceptance that the 1990s were over 30 years ago, I will instead look to October. I love this month - not least as all the trees begin to change colour. I can have my Himalayan salt lamp on in my office, creating a warming glow. The Sunday roast returns in all its glory and the slow cooker/soup maker come into their own. This month, I have two trips abroad, both for business. The first is to Belgium, the second to Spain. And then I hope to fit in my traditional writing retreat, even if it will be at home this year. What plans do you have? How will you celebrate the full arrival of autumn? Make it a good one, whatever you do. Samantha xx
The Magic of Mister Mishkins is now out in the wor The Magic of Mister Mishkins is now out in the world - and now we need your help in order to spread the word! Doing any of the the things on this post will cost you nothing, but will help me hugely as an author. If you can do just one of these things, that would be amazing. Thank you so much in advance.
