I have clicked 'send' and sent the manuscript for The Stars Over Rome to my editor at Piatkus. A glass of wine for me tonight!

Finished this terrific novel yesterday - dual narrative 1939 and 1975 Egypt: love, war and searching for the burial chamber of a lost queen - what could be better? Comes out in April 2025: I was lucky to be given a sneak peak. #books
