I'm genuinely wondering if the person who wrote this is in one of my author chat groups cos jesus it's an assemblage of everything that's been said in there. Well, not everything. Sometimes we talk about dogs. www.thebookseller.com/comment/who-...

Who holds publishers to their promises?

We need accountability for the gap between what publishers promise to authors and what they deliver

Not every writer wants to be famous. Some just want to be found by the right reader, at the right time, when it matters most

writing a book is conjuring fictional characters in a fictional world & obsessing about whether they're real enough forever

A gorgeous Cornish escape that will both break your heart and stitch it back together again! When disgraced actress Isla Quinn flees back to her small-town grandmother, she’s forced to confront her past—including Kit Harding, a first love she left a decade before..

I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other. That really resonated.

Oh no, I'm taking my one man show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival & I've just seen that I've sold a grand total of ZERO TICKETS for the first two shows. It's on from 7th August and I promise it's not rubbish. If you know any families around Edinburgh next week, please do tell them about my show.

How do you capture atmosphere in your writing? 🪶✨ I’ve been working on Thomas’s story (aka Fairfax Sisters Book4) since the beginning of the year and as the eldest of the siblings with *a bit* of a gloomy reputation, I knew he needed a tale to match…instagram.com/reel/DY_p7sjon…

While Thomas’ story takes place in and around Knightswood’s Manor, Devon this pic provided so much mood inspiration while writing - can you guess where it was taken? ‘The Kiss of the Season’ (aka #FairfaxSistersBook4) is coming in audio, ebook & paperback this November 2026 .. 🎩❤️
