Books, The Crayfish and Me
I am not a sociable person and I do not receive many visitors, so I was surprised when this one turned up, unannounced at my front door.
He is an American Crayfish. I’m assuming it’s a he, I don’t get female visitors. His visit was all the more surprising considering that there is very little water around here. Initially, I wasn’t aware that he was an American Crayfish, but then the postman arrived and informed me that ‘it’ was, and that American Crayfish are a clear and present danger to our native fauna. Rather like grey squirrels.
On another note, after years of using social media, I have finally decided to include a bio pic of myself, rather than an image from one of my front covers. It feels a bit like being naked in public. Anyway, here it is:
I will be rolling it out to my social media profiles in due course. Now, for a reading update. What with all the writing I have been doing, I haven’t been reading that much of late, but I am poised to embark on two books. The Blade Artist (Transgressive Fiction) and The Butcher (Black Comedy). I will be posting my reviews of them here and on Goodreads.
Just a reminder that my next book, Tomorrow’s World: Darkly Humorous Tales From The Future is being released next month (November 22nd). Click here to view its Goodreads page. Have a good weekend.
Fantastic photo, the crayfish that is. Can’t wait to read Tomorrow’s World. The Blade Artist is one Irvine Welsh I haven’t read yet.
Thanks Trina, I thought it was a good photo too.
I can’t imagine how an American Crayfish got to your front door. I like your photo. Glad you decided to expose yourself (so to speak)
Me too John, it was high time. Do you get American Crayfish down your way, or is too hot for them that far south?
Which photo is you? first or second one?
I haven’t decided yet.
