A week dropping off proofs of The Other Girl at various brilliant bookshops in Cornwall, featuring Waterstones Truro, Edge of the World PZ, St Ives Bookseller, Clemo in Newquay, Falmouth Bookseller, and The Bookshop in Helston, plus lunch with @whycraigwhy.bsky.social 😍

I am not very good at Bluesky yet and don't know if anyone will see this but.... The Other Girl is out in May, which I can now say is 3 months away 🙌 I'm excited about this one: if you like train-based identity switch thrillers this might be for you...

(and if you do see this hello and thank you)

Imagination Unleashed 2025 - Monday 10th February CreaTech is where creativity meets technology, inspiring new ways of telling stories, engaging audiences and driving business growth.

Cornwall based people - is anyone else going to this next week? Now that I've submitted a manuscript I've signed up, and am excited. It looks both brilliant and totally relevant to something I'm writing 😊

Thanks Wyl!

Three loaves of irregularly shaped home made bread

I’m off to Scotland tomorrow, battling the weather to spend the week at Moniack Mhor. Have left the family with home made bread so they might not miss me that much…

The last three books I’ve read: I loved every one of them 🙌

No! You can't!

I'm delighted to be teaching this course in January: www.johnyorkestory.com/course/story...
I started my screenwriting adventures with a JYS course - applying the screenwriting lessons to novel writing is eye opening and fun. Bursaries available #amwriting #writingcourse @profwriting.bsky.social

Nice and sunny here in Cornwall but yes COLD

I'm doing everything! YA, currently writing an adult thriller too, and screenwriting. I'll make the bio a bit clearer!

Hello!
Yep, no matter what's going on my brain always decides that 5 is the time to worry about it 😂
Solidarity!

Spectacular to see this on the big screen last night, complete with overture, intermission and playout music as Kubrik intended. I'm inspired with my writing today - thank you @patkelman.bsky.social

Yay you're here! Feeling a bit confused by it all...

Hello - I'd love to be added. Thank you!

Hello! This is lovely ❤️

I've been awake since five, am currently meant to be working on my third writing project of the day, and yet seem to be here wondering how you get started and feeling like an awkward new girl. Bookish, and other lovely people - hello.
