raise.ing/9kgvnrlqd0pq6 In unlikely news, I've signed up for a sponsored walk for Blood Cancer UK's 'Walk the World' challenge for the 30 days of October. Since I'm a) not allowed off the ward and b) can't currently walk the length of myself, I've set myself the modest challenge of 30km.

Happy publication day to me! KNIT ONE, HEIST ONE is out today from the fabulous No Exit Press and Bedford Square Publishers. And what a way to start - a review in the Mail on Sunday! I'm guessing that the similarities are Richard Osman = pensioners and Irvine Welsh = Scottish swearing :-)

Donna Moore @badsvillebroad.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

So delighted! And the narration by Mhairi Morrison is fabulous!

Absolutely delighted that the fabulous team at Bedford Square/No Exit Press have licensed audio rights to KNIT ONE, HEIST ONE. It's the first book of mine to be an audio book & I'm so excited. I can't wait to find out who the reader will be. I've also seen an early draft of the cover, and I love it.

Ooooh, just spotted that the Kindle version of The Devil's Draper is now only £1.99 on Amazon (in the UK at least). Not sure how long that promotion will last, so if you'd like to read it, this might be your chance! And for fun, have this photo of a red squirrel eating a nut

Oooooh, thank you so much Alastair Mabbott and @heraldscotland.bsky.social for this fabulous review of The Devil's Draper. I particularly love this quote: "a warm, engaging novel about female spaces and sisterly solidarity triumphing over a misogynistic, narrow-minded system." Very chuffed.

And my character, Mabel, also drinks a Clover Club (2 ounces gin, 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed, 1/2 ounce raspberry syrup, 1 egg white and raspberries to garnish. I've tried that, and an Old Fashioned (research, research!) but I love the sound of Satan's Whiskers!
