THE BEST time visiting @daturabooks HQ this week, signing some very special edition ARCs of BE MINE. Swipe for a peak at the infinity tattoos going into these special packages - a little hint of what to expect in the book… 👀♾️

Happy #PLR day to all who are celebrating! I am totally blown away that 12,730 of you loaned copies of my books from libraries in the last year. What a fantastic resource libraries are - thank you to all the hugely hardworking librarians and to everyone who has borrowed my books. I’m touched ❤️

My Name is Anna by Lizzy Barber has been at the top of my “to read” list since hearing her speak at Iceland Noir in November. Snow outside, hot tea and my fav chair inside. Ready-set-go! @bylizzybarber.bsky.social

Authors often get asked about their earliest memories of writing. Reminiscing with @charduck.bsky.social led me to dig out my first ‘novel’, aged 11, an homage to my childhood heroine, @jacquelinewilson.bsky.social. Here’s the first page in all its glory! ✨

Hugh Grant in his villain era is the trend we didn’t know we needed. Superb.

Reached the stage where I can’t understand my kid’s maths homework. He is 5. We have a lot of school left to go.

Before I had kids, I’m not sure I realised that the question I would be asked most frequently, that would fill me with the most existential dread, would be ‘what’s for snack?’

Today in ‘things I have discovered during editing’: did you know the colour ‘puce’ is named for the French for ‘flea’ as the colour resembles the bloodstain that dries after a flea’s been smashed? Hmm.
