🥳Final draft of the final book in the #ProfessorEustaciaRoseMysteries has finally gone to the copy editor which means my 2026 year of resting, reading and reconnecting has officially begun. I bought these beauties in the ‘80s (yes, I am a proud Gen Xer) Any ideas which one to re-read first? #BookSky

I was going to do a 2025 writers wrap up, reposting the triumphs and shout outs from the past year. But I’ve already celebrated those triumphs with you and shouted at you about the things I thought you might be interested in, so instead here is the final incredible Brighton sunset of 2025. #Booksky

🎄Behold! My very first attempt at a festive book tree! It’s a bit lopsided and bottom heavy (like me) but it’s built with the different editions of the #ProfessorEustaciaRoseMysteries published over the past five years, so it’s presented with pride Happy Holidays! #Booksky @bwpublishing.bsky.social

Like many of my writing friends, I’ve also had my books stolen by the LibGen pirates and the Meta AI maniacs and I am mad! I will be calling on our government to demand protection for the work of creatives and an assurance that we will be fairly paid for our (years of) work. #DoTheWriteThing

As a kid my local library was a special place. It was were I waited every day for my mum to finish work. For an immigrant kid who hadn’t yet made friends, it was a safe space. So finding my books in my local library and seeing that Devil’s Breath was borrowed 3000 times last year is a wee bit emosh!
