It’s only 6.20 and I’ve already picked up three mosquito bites. It’s a humid morning again, and we’re heading for yet another hot day by the feel of things. We’ve been in the high 30s for how long now? Seems like forever. Fine if you’re here for a couple of weeks’ holiday, but every day and night for three months… It gets a bit wearing without the usual wind and with more humidity than in previous years. The way we’re burning up the planet, it’s not going to get any better, so may as well get used to it. Some rain would be nice though if someone could arrange it. Perhaps once a week overnight, just to keep the plants happy and the dust down. Someone have a word, will you?
Still, at least I’m not outside working on rooves or building sites, standing in a shop all day, or worse, in a kitchen. Mind you, Noufris at the taverna says he’s quite comfortable and his kitchen is the coolest place, because he has so many fans on him, I guess. I have one on me here at the desk. It’s beneath the open window which doesn’t let in much cooling air, only mosquitoes, it seems (four now), as I set myself up for a morning working on the next book.
Talking of books… If you’re after a thriller or a mystery read, here’s a list of over 100 titles – you might find something there. This is one of those promos I do to promote my work. It costs nothing to browse, but each click on the banner/link below gets me a point and allows me to participate in more promos, which means I get more free publicity. It’s a scheme that works for everyone involved and, as I said, costs nothing unless you actually go and buy a book, or read one in your Kindle Unlimited.

That’s enough shameless publicity for the moment. I am off to find the anti-bite cream, and set up the typo-writer ready for the next chapter in my dark tale of stolen children, Grand Guignol, London sewers, and whatever else ‘A Case of Make Believe’ is all about.
