Got invited to go an event on young people and access to outdoor education and its impact on social mobility at the House of Commons the other week. Heard the revolutionary notion that profit and purpose do not have to be mutually exclusive! #houseofcommons #socialvalue #socialmobility #london
Rediscovered this fantastic book by #amystewart used for #thegoneandtheforgotten There's million ways to take people down, no wonder old folk love hanging about garden centres - its entirely unregulated!!
mum always asked why I could write romance.#wickedplants #thegoneandtheforgotten #plants
I mean, I had hoped to meet someone who adored me at some stage in my life, I suppose a dog will do! Actually he'll more than do. His breath smells but he has good intentions #puppy #dog #blacklab
Bit late but a shot of me and my sisters from my big sisters birthday lunch in Clapham! I think they like me, not sure why they are holding onto each other like I've taken them hostage!
Happy Monday! Feeling the need to rebel? Why not indulge your criminal inclinations by losing yourself in the rip roaring shenanigans of The Forty Elephants #poorgirls

Feels like a good time to repost this amazing book, Traitors by Josh Ireland. I loved it. The reality is traitors always think of themselves as the true patriots. Which this book illuminates in a much better way than I am doing now! #traitors #patriotism #joshireland #history #truecrime #amreading
This was taken a few years back in Shetland in research for #thegoneandtheforgotten I am glad I bent my wrist in this photo, otherwise it would be getting a bit Leni Riefenstahl #crimefiction #crimewriter #shetland #thegoneandtheforgotten
It does look like José is having an existential crisis here or in Amsterdam. He's not he's under the patio heater at the pub - his happy place. Either that or he's been reading the news - don't do it, José, there's nothing you can do. Stay ignorant.

The Gone and The Forgotten - someone told me the other day this was their favourite book of mine! Thanks Jade! It was based in Shetland which is a beautiful place and I really long to go back and hunker down by Jimmy's house again! #shetland #thegoneandtheforgotten #plants #twisted #crime
This popped up from when Caitlin was about 5 I think? Still way cooler than anyone else and its giving Courtney/Kurt 90s grunge vibes 😘 #90s #grunge #hole #courtneylove
Can't believe its been well over a year since #poorgirls came out! I think its quite the time for a bunch of ambitious and rebellious young women to decide who they want to be rather than be told to be obedient and pleasing - pleasing to whom!? #crimefiction #thefortyelephants #badgirls #girlgang
I think everyone should know that when they shout at me that this who they are shouting at! Although maybe I'm more like the bunny from the Monty Python film. Was it The Holy Grail!? I think we need a new generation of monty python esque comedy.

Pretty sure it was a year ago or so I made it all the way to the BBC! I peaked I believe! Got to talk about Poor Girls and The Forty Elephants on Woman's Hour. @pollyreadsbooks

As found in Southampton ! Come on! I must have at least THIS many friends who I can guilt into buying a hardback of #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants #athousandblows #southampton #waterstones
This flagged up from a year or so ago and it reminded me of how much Caitlin hated my short fringe. I've had some other feedback, apparently its the fringe of a crazy woman! I love that! Do you mean crazy, or one not socially conditioned to meet others needs at the expense of her own #hair #fringe
Here's a picture of a lovely donkey for your timeline. If it weren't for the money would we not all be skipping around the forest dancing with squirrels and forest dwelling creatures making wind chimes out of bark? Just me? #nature #donkey
Not sure about anyone else, but I'm not much liking this new 2026 boxset called reality. However, its very book 4! Which I'm really hoping to be able to share more about soon.
Have you ever suffered the feeling of cruel bullying treated as if entirely normal #denial #narcissim #scapegoat #gothic
Been lurking in graveyards again! Maybe I'll meet some dark romantic soul here who also loves to lurk about graves! Sounds like hassle tbh and knowing my luck I'd end up meeting Ed Gein, its ok! I can change him! #netley #victoriacountrypark #dogwalks #labrador #dog
This is badnam creek. I love this place its possibly my favourite place on earth. It gives me eerie vibes and the water is green and I've always been a sucker for green water (?) I once based a short story on a murder here... I think I called it Green Soup 😊 #walks #creek #bursledon #badnamcreek
This has to be the most exotic adventure Prue has been on! on the way to Mumbai, India...
thank you! #thegoneandtheforgotten #india #mumbai for a book set in Shetland that's not bad! #shetland #crimefiction
Love this photo! Taken at Victoria Country Park and #Netley Military Hospitals Cemetery, full of #commonwealth graves and lots of beguiling stories from the past. I did include this place in Poor Girls, briefly, as the hospital in which Nell's dad was sent after he was injured in WW1. #poorgirlsbook
Happy new year 🥳 to all! May your year start like josé’s, with light, snuggles and snoozies 🖤

So many years ago! I think about 17!!! Cripes! And check out the upside down tree! (it was space saving and actually historically accurate I think you'll find. #christmas #memories #xmas
Hung out with a bunch of women in a rather epic yurt for Winter Solstice. I had a great time! May join coven, any one know of a local one? What harm can it do!? #yoga #wintersoltice #yurt #christmas
What would I do without this queen! We had a nice amble around Winchester like ladies, but don't believe it, she's an animal! Jokes. Thanks for listening to me wang on and putting up with my ugly snot crying. Merry Christmas to all! Especially beloved friends #mates #christmas #holidays #friends
He came running over like a puppy! I love him! I'm in love. I shall call him, Ned. He's just so friendly #sundayvibes #mylovelyhorse #horse #swanwickshore
Haha this flashed up from when I went to Waves of Nostalgia in Haworth! I love it! Makes me look like a wanted fugitive and a member of the Forties! I only wish I had their lady balls! #thefortyelephants #poorgirlsbook
Really enjoyed the event and met lots of lovely people. #crimewave #haworth
Currently being modelled by the beautiful @mrs.lovely24 in the archipelago in Sweden.
