My forthcoming novel (out 12th July) is now on Netgalley. Reviewers, bloggers - I'd love you to give it a try! It's uplifting, funny and full of heart.

Thrilled to announce that since joining Boldwood in Sept 2022, I've sold 500,000 copies of my books!

Amen to that x

Meet the teenage money-makers Dylan is 15 and earns £100 a week stringing squash rackets while Gustav, 14, creates music in his bedroom. Gillian Harvey meets the youngest generation of workers

With all the negativity in the press about adolescents, it's great to have interviewed some really great teens who show how enterprising and brilliant young people can be. In today's Times.

Am trying to write something a bit different, which is a challenge for me but a nice one! One piece of advice on the course I'm doing is to write it by hand.
I just tried.
I managed a page of notes and I JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

That's clever thinking!
I desperately wanted my boy to be 'Where's Wally' (easy, plus he'd look SOOO cute. Sadly, looking SOOO cute wasn't on his wish-list) x

Has anyone sold something at auction to raise a little extra cash in recent years? Doesn't have to be an enormous profit or an amazing sum of money or anything like that. It's for a piece I'm writing #journorequest UK based.

I know! Thank god we dodged that pricey bullet!

I know!
I resisted though. Pretty sure he could do some serious damage with his dark magic...

Yeah, I'm holding out for that retrospective appreciation that should be coming my way in about a decade's time! I appreciate everything my Mum did for me so much more now I realise how hard it must have been behind the scenes... :)

Hallowe'en is an expensive, spooky NIGHTMARE! Luckily, I never bought into the Elf on the Shelf. Always thought it was too creepy. Although, as my son said once, 'you should get one mum. He's really small. I don't think he could kill you...' 😆

Yep! Can't win at this game :) x

Also, yes I did buy the costume. I tried to fashion one myself but he was having none of it. I gave into pressure. But he's very happy!

I have five kids, but as I lived in France until April last year, this is my first World Book Day. Only my youngest (9) wanted to participate, and it was so cute/such fun. But I couldn't help be relieved I never had to try organising FIVE costumes. I love books but... 😬

Picture of the novel 'midnight in paris' by gillian harvey, together with some reader reviews.

Like all authors I've had my share of criticism and 1* reviews. But that makes the thoughtful, wonderful reviews all the more special.

Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to read and rate/review 'Midnight in Paris' - I am so thrilled that readers are loving it!

Yay! Glad it went ahead :) xx

Haha - here's hoping :)

At least it's clean washing!
