I’m cutting back on my social media, sticking with where my readers and regular author friends are. This means whilst they’ll stay live, I won’t use my Threads or BlueSky for the foreseeable. Have a great rest of the year! πŸ’™

It’s been two months since A Night of Thunder was released and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who bought or downloaded a copy. The messages, photos and reviews have been incredible too and the support means a lot. Thank you so much! πŸ˜ŠπŸ’™ πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·

A little tip for debut authors. If an author posts about their book or promotes another author’s book, please don’t promote your own book, multiple times in the comments of that post, adding multiple links. It’s incredibly rude!
