I’m just amazed they waited until the third date to ask… 😅

A second NOVELIST starter pack, inc @cauverymadhavan.bsky.social @angelshartz.bsky.social & many more. If you’re a novelist & I follow you, chances are you’re in one of the two packs. If not, then let me know & I’ll add you. Everyone else, please follow the packs & repost #booksky #writingcommunity

Made a little reel about #TheakstonsCrime last weekend and spent most of it missing everyone and being so sad that it’s over 😂 roll on next year @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social - I already can’t wait!

It’s just the most fun! 📚

Friday night theatre and it’s a musical version of Compton Mackenzie’s ‘joyous queer novel’ @jstheatre.bsky.social 💖

It’s a stunning cast so I’m super excited ☺️

Reviewing today for @theatreandtonic.bsky.social 🎭

#PressNight #TheatreSky #Theatre #QueerTheatre #ExtraordinaryWomen

Taking a break from reading and theatre (not really) to explore some of London’s restaurants over the summer… 💖

Had a wonderful dinner at Clarette last night: seabass ceviche and monkfish in a champagne sauce… 😋 highly recommend!

That’s fair! I wrote all of four sentences across the weekend so you did better than me… 🤦🏻‍♀️🩷 worth it though.

So after burning the candle at both ends @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social I went to bed at 5.30am this morning after being corrupted by theatre friends who were jealous of my bookish posts! 😂

Weirdly been super productive so clearly this insomniac has found her sleep sweet spot… 👌🏻

That would be great. It’s such a brilliant weekend. Let me know if you have questions about it - I was a newbie last year and learned a lot! 😍

The @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social comedown is real! 😅

Will share some videos later in the week, but here are a few photos to give you FOMO. 📷

Will we see you next year? 23-26 July 🩷

Final panel (for me) is all about mixed media and varied storytelling… 🧩

Fascinating being able to sleuth along with the characters! 🕵🏼‍♀️

Such a great panel! 🎭

Anyone would think I knew what I was doing… 💄

So many tearful audience members during my final speech. It’s such a powerful piece, I really hope we did it justice! 🥹

I cried three times 😅

Two more shows if you’re in the East Midlands.

Just won a best actress award for playing a hooker… and in the process forgot how to stand 😂

And A Christmas Carol won best play 🕯️

Now if someone could kindly pluck my book out of the #Querying trenches that would be great!

Another fantastic book from @jocallaghankat.bsky.social - out now from @simonschusteruk.bsky.social

Lots to think about now though… what will go down in book four? 👀
