It's so horrid!

Urghhh! Someone out there is trying to scam people. They reach out to authors and offer to promote their books in my writers' groups or book groups. I don't do book promotion! If you get such a phishing email, please report it. This is how: support.google.com/mail/answer/...

Deep in the English countryside an evil presence awakes…

The Decadence by Leon Craig is the queer horror lockdown novel you’ve been waiting for. It's absolutely brilliant and launches this Thursday at @owlbookshop.bsky.social

Just a few spots left ..! I'm so looking forward to being guest author on the @arvonfoundation.bsky.social Fiction Writing Course at The Hurst this December. I was part of author Suzannah Dunn's workshop at @manchester.ac.uk 25 years ago and she is incredible. I blame her for everything!

Can you ask them to pop by here and say something similar? Also, can they provide...funding?

To be fair, I'd be happy to be called queen of anything, but "queen of the long-hot-summer lit thriller" is very nice indeed..

I really do - and thank you for writing this. It's such a lovely surprise.

Love this beautiful review of my first novel Before the Ruins by @clothesinbooks.bsky.social The accompanying images are just gorgeous... 😘

Aw, thanks so much @debsca.bsky.social 😍

It's true, @shakespeareandcompany.com is now a no-phone-zone but they kindly made an exception and let my friend Sarah take a snap of my novel on display. Dream unocked!

Thank you to @clothesinbooks.bsky.social for this lovely review of Bliss And Blunder, my modern-day retelling of the Arthurian legend. I also love the choice of images and clothes to go with the novel.

Stuff your face until you can't walk. Buy nice clothes and costume jewellery. I also like the Musee Carnavalet, history of the city - great oil paintings of the siege, etc.

Thanks to @manwithbooks.bsky.social and HMP Erlestoke for inviting me to hold a Life Writing workshop as part of #pennedup - I got to take in some of my favourite authors to share and hear some great stories. Thanks to all those who took part.

My book made a list! Very happy #BlissAndBlunder has been chosen to be on two of Spotify's 'best audio books' lists for 2024 🥰
