Patricia Marques

Guys I have had some lovely feedback about my Novel Hustle course 🥹 pretty much everything I hoped! But it’s 11:13 PM so I’ll be back to talk about it at a more decent time of the day 😂

I’ve written an update after the Anthropic Settlement announcement last night nadinematheson.substack.com/p/update-the...

A reminder that money is power. *Our* money to be precise. A company is nothing without its customers. A government is nothing without the people it is there TO SERVE.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

It is indeed! But still very early on so I’ll hold onto details until I’m sure it won’t do a 180 on me 😂

Advanced copies arrived today 🥹 the final book is here! It looks so pretty 😭

👀 A certain something goes to print today #inspectorreis #book4

I would love to 😂 but unsure how many of them might actually happen so I’m trying to stay humble and take it one snippet at a time!

I’m actually going to be sharing snippets of Isabel’s world here and there once I have a little more time, so she’ll still be there around the corner 😊 and absolutely, will continue to write - just trying to decide to work on next!

All I can share is that this is the last one in the series (at least for now) and all reader questions are answered!

Sadly no book tour plans but I’ll definitely make a number of signed copies available and will make sure I get the word out as soon as they’re available! ❤️

Thank you for sharing!
