I am not very good at Bluesky yet and don't know if anyone will see this but.... The Other Girl is out in May, which I can now say is 3 months away πŸ™Œ I'm excited about this one: if you like train-based identity switch thrillers this might be for you...

(and if you do see this hello and thank you)

Imagination Unleashed 2025 - Monday 10th February CreaTech is where creativity meets technology, inspiring new ways of telling stories, engaging audiences and driving business growth.

Cornwall based people - is anyone else going to this next week? Now that I've submitted a manuscript I've signed up, and am excited. It looks both brilliant and totally relevant to something I'm writing 😊

Three loaves of irregularly shaped home made bread

I’m off to Scotland tomorrow, battling the weather to spend the week at Moniack Mhor. Have left the family with home made bread so they might not miss me that much…

I'm doing everything! YA, currently writing an adult thriller too, and screenwriting. I'll make the bio a bit clearer!

Spectacular to see this on the big screen last night, complete with overture, intermission and playout music as Kubrik intended. I'm inspired with my writing today - thank you @patkelman.bsky.social

I've been awake since five, am currently meant to be working on my third writing project of the day, and yet seem to be here wondering how you get started and feeling like an awkward new girl. Bookish, and other lovely people - hello.
