The best feeling in the world!

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Have you done this, Marie? One of the best days of my life, and my children are still (e.g. only last night) talking about what it was like seeing their dad fly through the air (once) with the greatest of ease (not). www.flying-trapeze.com/schools/euro...

This was just the best chat and, but do please excuse my rasping voice (a horrible summer cold mixed with hayfever). Loved, loved, loved doing this.

Not ending, but definitely pausing, as I have a New And Exciting Idea I want to try as my next book. There's no way I could walk away from Judith and the gang forever...

Wow what a lovely shoutout - and massive congrats on your new arrival (although I’m a bit disturbed that my maths is saying that 265 days is almost exactly 9 months……)

Thrilled to be longlisted for a CWA Dagger—it's a real pinch-me-dream-come-true moment. As much as anything, it's a fab list of fellow authors to be amongst, even if, as my photo suggests, I look like a vet who's about to give you bad news about the family Labrador... thecwa.co.uk/awards-and-c...

Thank you, @marlowbookshop.bsky.social, for such a wonderful event - and I'm delighted to see that I seem to have an orange face to go with the orange book. (Gosh, just realised that orange is quite a triggering colour at the moment... sorry, everyone).

It's always exciting to receive uncorrected proofs in the post, and I can't wait to dive into these two books that arrived within 24 hours of each other (what are the chances!), but... um... it also feels a bit like pigeons coming home to roost.

Oh gosh, PD, yours is the first comment about the book in the wild that I've seen, what a lovely thing to wake up to. (And I'm really smiling at your use of the word 'devious'. If it means what I think (presume?) it means, then that makes me *very* happy indeed.)
