Great point Hayley . Social media has definitely created new audiences and , for readers , ways of engaging with writers .

But it's a demanding and fickle mistress and, I suspect , the trick is not to behave like it's biddable servant, always ready to respond every time the bell rings in the kitchen . After all you are the cook and need your own time and space to weigh ingredients , chop and blend . ....then rest when the dish slowly cooks in the oven .

Thank you so much for the mention Hayley, I really hope you carry on enjoying The List of Suspicious Things - and I wholly empathise with your dilemma. I’ve found a way of being on my chosen social media platforms that is manageable, but that doesn’t mean I don’t often question it!
