Definitely resonates for Eva Frostwood…right down to the medieval tower 🏰 Obsessulated!

🎵All that time
I sat alone in my tower
You were just honing your powers
Now I can see it all (See it all)
Late one night
You dug me out of my grave and
Saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia🎵

The lioness does not concern herself with Christmas until Spooky season is officially over! So shhh now until November 1st!

(But download Christmas Eva After to your Kindle anyway... just to be ready, y'know?)

I ordered these ‘5cm’ dragonflies… now worried they’ve been sent through an inter-dimensional rift like in The Mist.

Will they eat me???

In other dramatic news, it’s 100 days until Christmas!

Time to order up Christmas Eva After!!!

Poster drop for The Housemaid! Spookily, I just finished reading Verity today and felt it had the same thriller enjoyment vibes of The Housemaid. Anyone excited for the movie versions of both?

Did Travis Kelce read Summer Eva After before proposing to Taylor Swift? Much like our fave teachers, Eva Frostwood’s fiance proposed two years after they first met, with a GORGEOUS antique ring & their nuptials are set in a fairytale English garden in peak midsummer 🧐 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just emerging from the summer holiday bubble (what did I miss?) & so looking forward to Autumn telly! The Savant stars Jessica Chastain, who is basically a gold standard for quality in our household (like Stanley Tucci!) Anyone else excited for Autumn Apple?

🔥 Ranked in Time Travel Romance. Ranked in Christmas Romance. Ranked in Romantic Comedy. Basically, Eva Frostwood is bending time, space, AND Amazon’s algorithms.Who knew love across centuries could be so… chart-topping? 🎁❤️ Not bad for a girl who keeps messing with history 😉.

The fiery orb is SHINING down here in Cornwall… perfect weather for a sun-drenched midsummer novella. No hash browns included, but there’s plenty of Victoria sponge 🍰🌅🌊

We went 28 first and then Chuck the night after, and oh my gosh, didn’t realise how much memento mori features in both! 🥺 Such a reminder to soak up the beautiful in life, every second you are able! 💞

Sophie Starling @sophstarling.bsky.social · Jul 29

So, I often bore thee with my date night movies, but tonight it’s a choice:

🧟 28 Years Later

Vs

🧠 The Life of Chuck

Figure it’s a case of let’s watch civilisation crumble vs let’s watch our own mortality crumble.

Either way, we’re crying by minute 40. Yes?

Late to this, but oh my gosh, I think writers can relate to the emotional bouncy castle that is first draft, final draft and then… the post-publication mistake 🙀😆
