I’m celebrating #WorldBookDay by giving away a signed copy of Dance with the Fae. Leave a comment & share (if you like) for a chance to win. U.K. only because of postage & I’ll need your address (I’ll delete after use).

Please do keep sharing and telling people! Some beautiful work so far but numbers are much smaller than in 2022. #carers #writingcommunity πŸ’™πŸ“š

Post you from a different era. Circa 1986 and 1992 respectively. I thought I was hideously fat and no, that was not a perm πŸ˜‚

An image of the paperback and hardback covers of The Hollow Sea by Annie Kirby. The hardback is a swirling blue & gold sea and the paperback is sea green and gold waves with a mermaid's tail disappearing off to the edge. Both covers have the title & authors name in gold.

I've been quiet on social media recently but thought I'd hop on today to introduce myself. I research cybercrime & economic crime by day & write literary-ish fiction (often with a supernatural twist) by night. Here's a picture of my debut novel looking gorgeous. πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™ #books #writers #literaryfiction

The Hollow Sea in somewhat stellar company on this table in Portsmouth Waterstones recently. Seeing my little book alongside literary luminaries has been one of my favourite parts of publishing. If you see The Hollow Sea out in the wild please take a photo for me πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
