Launch party yesterday of The Water That May Come (with cupcakes) at the wonderful Lark Books Lincoln, with the awesome Rob Weston. We talked immigration, inspiration, intimacy and, er, volcanoes... Wonderful turnout! Am feeling very blessed ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

PUBLICATION DAY! ๐Ÿฅณ To celebrate, I've made a little video of an extract from The Water That May Come. My character, Jane, is driving up to Scotland to flee the pending natural disaster. Here, she realises the power of the kindness of strangers ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“šโœจ๏ธ
Massive thanks to @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social

Oh, that feeling when you see something you made (while hunched pyjama-clad over a laptop for weeks on end) for sale in an actual SHOP! My chuffed-o-meter has reached new levels thanks to @waterstones.bsky.social , Lincoln

TWO WEEKS until The Water That May Come bobs up to the surface, arrives on a publishing wave, makes its splashy entrance, ALL the water metaphores! ๐ŸŒŠI'm a bit nervous, I must admit... (That's normal, right?) ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Very inspired by parambulating poet John Welsh at Lincoln Steampunk Festival this week ๐Ÿฆพโœจ๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„

'Leather, lace and parrots
every punk uniquely dressed
as unalike as peas and carrots.'

Never a truer word spoken (apparently, there were parrots!).

On the day Nigel Farage spouts off about mass deportations, @amylilwall.bsky.social asks a very different question. Who gets the chance at safe asylum in Europe when it's the people of the UK at risk from the flood? Turn the political diatribes on their head. Who would you choose to save? ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Imagine a scenario where Brits need to escape UK as sea levels rise & threaten. Turn the Farage diatribe on its head. Where are WE going to escape to? Europe? Would they have us? What would the criteria be for admission? Imagine no further - @amylilwall.bsky.social has done it for you. Out Oct 25 ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

August bank holiday in Lincoln means one thing: The Steampunk Parade! Nothing warms the heart quite like a collaborative commitment to mass silliness. Thank you to all the participants; you are properly fabulous โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™‚๏ธ
