Ellen Wiles @ellenwiles.bsky.social · 29/08/2025It was a joy to be part of this excellent podcast 🎧 062
Ellen Wiles @ellenwiles.bsky.social · 28/02/2025If you fancy a diverting read in these brutish times, The Unexpected is a mere 99p on Kindle for a few more hours. Tea Leaves & Reads bookshop say it’s ‘an excellent book club choice!… a very unique novel that explores motherhood, female friendships and raising a child from a different perspective‘ 030
Ellen Wiles @ellenwiles.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Interesting — my new novel is about platonic co-parenting, and it’s great to see new research shining a light on this mode of family & kinship which is still widely perceived as taboo for no good reason 050
