Delighted to have the chance to meet @authorctowndrow.bsky.social this afternoon, and get a copy of Wicket Maiden, a cricket romcom! Right up my street.

When I was writing Wicket Maiden in 2024, the first women’s Test at Lord’s was announced. I wrote that game into the story (spoiler!) to make my character part of history. To be here to watch Ellie’s real-life counterparts was never in doubt. I wonder if anyone will match what she achieved…

Researching and writing this book gave me the greatest year – although it’s not about whether I think it turned out well. For sure, it’s not your run-of-the-mill sports #romcom, but it’s shot through with love – both mine and the characters’. Hopefully that’s enough. #BookSky #womenscricket
