I asked authors about how they keep going when it gets tough. Hesper Leveret said, ‘I wrote a very self-indulgent novella about time travel, drinking and designer clothes. It helped me to rediscover the joy of writing for its own sake.’

Today I found this Chuck Palahniuk first edition in a bookshop in Sedbergh, Cumbria (apparently England's official book town) and one day it will be worth a fortune but for now it's just my wonderful treasure and I love it.

So I've started a substack, and I'm currently my one and only subscriber. Feel free to take a look and subscribe if you like the look of it. It is light on content for now, but I have big plans. It will contain short stories, book reviews, and articles.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Family Next Door by @charlottestevenson.bsky.social is a fantastically creepy domestic thriller, with twists and turns that had me captivated and wonderfully drawn characters who kept me guessing to the end. The plot is totally original - it's edge-of-seat stuff! Highly recommend!
The proofs of my debut cosy crime novel are officially signed off! They're now on their way to becoming paperbacks, ebooks, and audiobooks ready for publication on 4th March.
It's getting close. It's getting scary!
