I saw my book on the shelves at Waterstones and couldn't quite believe it. After so much blood, sweat, tears, so many books, all those moments of self doubt...it all feels surreal. I'm so tired! And happy!

Out in hardback, ebook and audiobook in the UK. USA readers, your hardback is coming in Jan.
