Great little bookshop in Amsterdam. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the city #books #amsterdam #theenglishbookshop

Ordered 👍

Found a fantastic little exhibition on the medieval origins of Amsterdam, located in the City Archives. It's really interesting to see the history of a city in a country other than the UK. Unfortunately it's only temporary and closes in 4th July #amsterdam #medieval #history

Short trip to Amsterdam this week. Hoping to take in some medieval history whilst I'm there #historicalfiction #amsterdam #author #books

Today i've achieved a personal milestone and passed the 10,000 word mark on my first novel. Time for a short family break and then back at it next week #novel #writing #author #historicalfiction

In Bruges today and admiring the historic architecture. An absolutely incredible city to explore. A must if you're ever nearby #bruges #belgium

Does the novel have to be complete? I am currently writing my first and would love some professional feedback.

Hiking 26 miles around Ullswater for Macmillan today. Not the best weather but the cause is well worth the effort #macmillan #lakedistrict

A little proof reading on the first 6,000 words this morning before starting the next chapter #author #historicalfiction #writing

Continuing my journey with Hunlaf on the way home from Liverpool. Another gripping read from @matthewharffy.bsky.social

Taking in Temple Church ahead of a wedding tomorrow. What an incredible piece of architecture

So here goes. My first ever novel is underway and I'm just over 1000 words in.

Set in 7th Century Mercia, it tells the story of a young man who's life is transformed following a night of fire and betrayal.
