Pan Macmillan is home to so many of my favourite authors so this is a bit of a surreal moment. My debut novel is officially hitting the shelves in mid-2026, published by the amazing team at @macmillanaus.bsky.social 📚

Day 4!

Same here!!

Yes!!

This!

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

I’m trying to strike a healthy balance between being informed and being oblivious.

I’d be worried my hair would get sucked up into the nozzles

I really hope not. #Booktok is an amazing community!

This is so great!!

Not yet an influencer but definitely indie friendly! 📚📚

I got mine secondhand ten years ago and it’s still going strong - Hitachi from the 1980s 🎵

Day 3!

I like to think my typos help keep the people reading mentally agile. You’re welcome

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

That feeling when you put your book down somewhere yesterday and now you can’t find it but you really really need to know what happens next

Thanks so much! Will do!!

Day 2!

Update: I have an opening line and four paragraphs. Stopping to clean the house for a few hours. Not quite the glamorous profession people assume 😜

Thanks!!

A cover of Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves that says "Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves" and with an illustration of Herr Dumpidump looking especially dumpidumpish (forgive me but I can't stop repeating the word dumpidump... DUMPIDUMP!)
