It was a joy to be part of this excellent podcast 🎧

Thanks so much for recommending it, Roxie ❤️

If you fancy a diverting read in these brutish times, The Unexpected is a mere 99p on Kindle for a few more hours. Tea Leaves & Reads bookshop say it’s ‘an excellent book club choice!… a very unique novel that explores motherhood, female friendships and raising a child from a different perspective‘

Interesting — my new novel is about platonic co-parenting, and it’s great to see new research shining a light on this mode of family & kinship which is still widely perceived as taboo for no good reason

Hello! Thanks for this. I’d love to be added

hi #booksky 👋

A bookish newsflash: my new novel is out tomorrow!

It’s about friendship, motherhood, unconventional/queer families, kinship in other animal/human cultures, law… I threw the kitchen sink at it, according to The Times.

Still time to preorder from your fav bookshop ☺️ t.ly/x8Pbq

I post about politics, climate, feminism, but also poetry and beauty because we have to remember what we're for, as well as what we're against.
