SHIP’S LOG 10: ADULTING AND THE ART OF A GOOD SKIVE
Ahoy me hearties! It’s nice to put into harbour for a breather! I’ve been adulting all month in one way or another, which isn’t exactly natural habitat for this star-sailor. If I’ve missed a few of your messages-in-bottles over on some of the SM sites, me heartiest apologies!
But here we are, with a break in the storm, so to speak, and time to hang our smalls in the rigging to air on a good following breeze. So crack out the grog, stick your feet up on a barrel of smoked mackerel, and indulge me while I talk all the twaddle I’ve been saving up?

BELLE’S MUSINGS IN JUNE 2024
The last few weeks I’ve been masquerading as a very sensible and worthy sort of adult indeed. It has been – as the uptick in hayfever sufferers and stressed adolescents in the streets may have told you – exam season, and where there are exams, there are…
MARLOWE’S TINY TERRORS
Tiny terrifying tale of the month and silly horror stories I want to write anyway – the June 2024 edition. These micro tales are a recurring feature in my Ship’s Logs and they can be seen as complements to the monthly Fear Bites on my website.
TIME FOR A TIPPLE
One of my naughty escapes this month was a cheeky early-evening dash to a friend’s house, where I was introduced to a cocktail so magical, that it sparkles. Literally! This little beauty is a tad more extravagant than my usual mixes, but well worth it if you fancy wowing your guests…
PHOTO INSPIRATION OF THE MONTH
The images in this album have been handpicked by our Ship’s Belle. They are more than just photos, they are doorways to the hidden recesses of your mind. We all have countless tales waiting to be spun out – hopefully, these images can guide you to poems, titles, synopses…
And Finally…
Ahhh. Doesn’t that little break from being all sensible make you feel better? Well, no need to dash off just yet. Check out some of the books from our pirate crew aboard The Resilience, and escape into a few new worlds for a wee while.

ABOUT F.K. MARLOWE
F.K. Marlowe is a Shropshire lass who lived in London and Beijing before settling down with her husband, three daughters and rescue pup in Vancouver. She writes horror stories with a tendency to the paranormal, and Young Adult fiction with fangs and sass.
Marlowe doesn’t worry overly much about the placement of semi-colons and the like, having spent far too long pootling about in academia to take them seriously. (She has an Oxford first in English Lit, plus a Master’s and PhD from Leeds). She has, however, discovered that life is the best education for a writer, and plans to continue her studies there as long as possible.
