Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing marvellously!

I am just quickly letting you know that I am still fully intending on releasing some new content soon! My time is largely taken up by studying and looking after my personal life at the moment so it has been a challenge to find time! 😅

Thank you all for your patience and your emails and voice messages of concern - I really appreciate every one of you! 🥰

Guys, something truly mindblowing happened a few days ago.

Tales By The Fireside hit 1 million listens. 🤯

1 Million.

Blimey.

To mark the occasion, I have uploaded two new episodes, one, a story about superheroes, written by yours truly!

And the other, a highly personal Wonders by the Fireside. ❤️

I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to them, and I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping my humble little project hit such a huge milestone. 🥰

I love you all

Handy dandy random bedtime sleep hint #1

Wear socks to bed - Did you know having warmer extremities can actually speed up the process of falling asleep? Try slipping on a pair of clean socks as you clamber in to bed.

Do you have any weird bedtime tricks or habits?

Hello everyone,

The very first ⭐️Premium Episode⭐️ of Tales by the Fireside has been released on Patreon!

While Tales by the Fireside is free, and will always remain free, sadly, it is not free to run or put together.

Your generosity and donations have been truly humbling up to this point, and I have been working behind the scenes to think of ways I can reward the support. Research has directed me towards Patreon, a place where people can subscribe and support the show on a monthly basis, and receive benefits and rewards in return. 🥰

This is a very new thing for me, and I have tried to price this in a rewarding and flexible way. If you have any feedback or suggestions for what you might like to see here, I would be very happy to hear what you think.

Please take a look, and remember, that every single penny that goes in to this, goes back into the show.

Thank you for thinking of me
