We’re looking to move house soon so we’ve been doing a massive clear out and look what I found! The three novels I wrote BEFORE The Wolf Road was published and then the first draft of The Wolf Road when it still had my original (terrible) title and I was dabbling with adding a K to my name 😂

One printed manuscript with the title Thunderhead

Good news klaxon!! I am utterly thrilled that THE RUSH has been longlisted for the Historical Dagger and (appropriately 😉) the KAA Gold Dagger. I am bouncing around my office failing to act cool about it. TWO DAGGERS!! 🗡️ 🗡️ The Rush is also out in paperback next week 🥳

Trying to switch off from the chaos with some #drawing. Deadlines have meant I haven’t been able to pick up a pencil for months. I’m not very good but it brings me joy for a while. ✍️

With shades of Fingersmith, @laurasrobinson.bsky.social’s latest novel, THE ART OF A LIE, is a twisty, turny masterpiece. I loved it! Out in July 🍍

Another one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken. London at sunset. Makes me miss living there, walking across the bridge into the city after work was always my favourite part of the day. Longing sigh.

Do I know anyone who knows anything about churches? Please, what is the big box on the wall to the left of the giant cross? I’m at a gig and not knowing is distracting me from the music. Google is, of course, no help.

Still one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken, from a trip to Canada many moons ago. Whenever it pops up on my phone, I give a longing sigh.

I’m so innocent, she says. I’m not destroying your bedspread, she says.

Woken up to heavy, gorgeous snowfall. The WhatsApp groups are buzzing with talk of school closure and street salting. The children are vibrating with excitement, pulling wellies and coats on over pyjamas. This little bit of magic was exactly what we needed.

As cats seem to be magical on social media, here is kitten Jinx, planning my murder. *please ignore my messy house. I’m a writer, mess is part of the process.

Hello new followers! As is the Bluesky way, let me introduce you to my cat. This is Jinx with her cuddly triceratops. She is 4 months old and as unhinged as the Arcane character she’s named after. Jinx loves chin scritches and tearing souls apart.

New favourite research discovery. The Author's Book from 1925. "Being Notes for the Guidance of Authors in Dealing with Publishers". I think this needs an updated edition...

Some FUCKER stole my Halloween pumpkin. The one I’d grown from seed, that my daughter was so excited to carve next weekend. I go down to the plot this morning to get a couple of cucumbers and it’s gone. RIP beloved pumpkin 🎃 🤬😭

Along with a full time job, writing books, and being a parent, last year I decided I needed more punishment so I took on a 35x25ft allotment plot. I’ve been growing all kinds of fruit and veg. But today, I discovered the dark side of allotment life
