I’m doing a batch of cover classes @crouchendfitnesscentre this month. I LOVE it here. Huge space with daylight, really clean & good equipment. I love personal training & my Zoom sessions but I’ve missed the sense of community you get in classes. Thank you Kaan & the team for all your support. 🩷πŸ’ͺ🏽🩷

How it started with Tiggy & Pip.
How it’s going.
They’re now all grown up & thriving. Pip had her MOT at the vet this week & was declared PERFECT! Proud mummy moment. She had a lot of issues when we got her at 4 weeks & hand-reared her with the help of #hillsvets

Writers. Do you spend almost as much time blowing your own trumpet as writing? Does it even help? #amwriting #marketing #authorlife #bookstagram #writer

Early author photo - in the school library* sporting a haircut I hated & a cardigan I hated so much I ate the cuff so I wouldn’t have to wear it.
I still had to wear it.
* #library was 2 shelves & a fold out screen thing.

Morning campers.
A lovely message from a Nobel Prize in Literature winning author! What a time to be alive!
Strangely her email address says AUTHUR. You’d have thought she’d have got that right at the very least.
I’m shooketh. #scams

As a big fan of #slowhorses on tv this was my first time reading an original #thriller from #mickherron LOVED IT! Hugely entertaining. Characters I cared about.

Pip: Mother dear, why are you not writing? Those Dreamies won’t buy themselves.
Me: I’ve been battling Thames Water due to the lack thereof.
Pip: Those Dreamies won’t buy themselves.

The BBC’s new #LordOfTheFlies is visually lush but doesn’t move it on from the original.
When I first saw it at school my first thought wasn’t β€˜how shocking’ but β€˜we’d have eaten those posh kids within a week.’ #feral

Another cunning AI #scam. Apparently my book will feature alongside icons like this - although not sure who this Margaret Atwood is supposed to be. Beware book clubs making outrageous claims. #booklovers #authorlife
