You ever get that ‘groundhog’ day feeling? I’m coming to the end of mine. Since December I’ve been reading the 12 books sent to me by the Society of Authors in order to shortlist 8 for the Paul Torday Prize. Nearly there. Phew! It’s been great visiting all those countries between the pages, going back in time, learning about the chemistry of love, life & God. Meeting interesting & vile characters, getting an insight into the minds of the narrators - it’s been freaking amazing. Going to need a ‘Do Me’ break after this. #paultordayprize #judge #bookstagram #reading #timetoread #authors #readers #groundhogsday #nearlythere #soa #societyofauthors #domebreak

Writing for Well-being is the creative writing class I teach at the Adult Education Centre in Hammersmith. The budding writers are on point with their imagination & creativity, I’m completely impressed by them. You should’ve seen the short stories they turned out during their half term holiday - I listened to them reading out their masterpieces, enveloping me in their worlds of descriptions, dialogues, tones, humour, adjectives, metaphors & Smiles. One of the writers shared his book he had written for his three sons when they were kids. It was lyrical & it rhymed and proves you can accomplish your writing goals. So you don’t have to publish your writing for the world, you can write & share it with family and friends. #buddingwriters #writing #writinggoals #writingforwellbeing #writers #writinginspiration #writingforfun #writingforfamily #writingforfriends

Two days to my author interview & review of my novel, Love Again, with @thevirtualsundaybookclub The past two weeks has predominantly been reading weeks for me, as I plough through 12 books for the Paul Torday Prize in order to shortlist 8. But this Sunday I take a break and chill with @thevirtualsundaybookclub #thevirtualsundaybookclub #bookclub #bookclubofinstagram #bookclubs #booklovers #loversofbooks #readers #rashedaashantimalcolm #romanceauthor #romancebooks

I wrote this book five years before it got published. My bestie, first love & father of my children was still alive. He thought the title should be, Who Can Love You Like Me. 😆 How poignant that a day before he transitioned, he reminded me, his voice nearly depleted by the cancer, ‘who will love you like me? Take no less.’ He passed away the very year of publication, but he knew it was on its way & that although the story line has nothing to do with our reality - I would dedicate it to him. So, I’m looking forward to being a guest of @thevirtualsundaybookclub - because the greatest feeling for a writer is to be read. And being just a few days from the international day of love ❤️ Valentines Day - it’s a great time to get lost in this book. #thevirtualsundaybookclub #loveagain #rashedaashantimalcolm #loveisintheair #readers #readersofig #romancenovels #romancebooks #readme
