Haha. Thanks, James! x

It's my birthday! 54 rocks! 😜

Working on it!

NO! Shit! I'll take it down immediately. Thank you for helping me avert disaster. Phew!

😂

Christmas tree.

Tree up. Port poured. It's Christmas!

Aw, thanks! ☺️ It's a huge relief to send it off. Just in time for our get together! 😀

So cool to see them all together! x

Well, I quit over twenty years ago so . . . 😆

So, 140,00 words, 18 months and many mornings waking with anxiety later and SERENITY FALLS is finally finished! I started this book in July 2024, two weeks after my mum died. It's been a slog. At times, I worried I'd never bring it together. But today I wrote those two magic words. Now for a gin!

How cool!

It was crazy busy. Exhausted when I got back yesterday but great trip! x

Beautiful and spooky Halloween biscuits from my lovely publishers @michaeljbooks.bsky.social! 🐈‍⬛🕯️🎃

Such a brilliant time at #KnihaBrno (Brno Book Fair) in Czech. Beautiful city. Amazing audience. Signed books for an hour and a half - oh, and bumped into these scary dudes! 😱🤣

Prague is a beautiful city - plus they have the best bookshops!! 😆

Sadly, it's a very short trip - a mostly work. But I plan to come back! x

Got the best greeting from my Czech publishers when I arrived in Prague yesterday!

Tomorrow I fly to Prague, en route to the Brno Book Festival (Kniha Brno). Very excited. First book event in a while and first visit to Czech! 😃

😘

Pumpkin carving today. Betty carved Alastor from Hazbin Hotel and Freddy from FNAF. I went for classic scary pumpkin! 🎃🎃🎃

AI can help authors beat writer’s block, says Bloomsbury chief Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

This whole article is massively offensive, displaying a complete lack of understanding of the writing process. Plus the stuff about 'famous authors' is insulting to every other author slogging their arses off to write great books. Tone deaf.

Thank you! x

So chuffed to be included here alongside some of the very best horror authors around. If you're looking for scary Halloween reads, dive in!

Oh, this is great. So chuffed to be included. Brill recs from some insanely talented writers.

Started Halloween-ing the house today. Spiders and cobwebs to follow tomorrow. 💀🎃🕷️🕸️

Visited @waterstonesblue today. Thrilled to see my books on display (in fine company). Also, met the lovely Alice who told me she recommends all my books which made my year! I've been out of the publishing bubble for a while so it was a nice reminder I'm actually an author! 🤣

Haha! Loved it - maybe as a 53-year-old woman it spoke to me! 😆

I think it's a very confused film. No storyline is given enough time. Pacing is all over the place. The cliched KK guys don't even come in till the end and the vampire part is resolved far too quickly. Just my opinion, obviously - and I really wanted to love this film!

Ah, thank you!
