Had a blast on the Deadly Women panel yesterday at @chilternkills.bsky.social with the fabulous T.M. Payne, Marnie Riches, Teri Terry and Emma Tallon. Huge thx to Tina and our audience for being such great sports in our finale game of #wouldilietoyou in which I miraculously kept poker faced 🤣

Woohoo, #TheSchoolGates is creeping on the edges of the top 100 in the Amazon #Australia overall bestsellers chart and hit No.15 in psychological fiction 🤩

It would be a dream to break the top 100!

The School Gates is still climbing the rankings on both Amazon UK and Amazon Aus and is in some pretty fine company in the #psychological fiction categories.

Huge thx to everyone who’s bought it, I’d love to see it climb higher so if you haven’t downloaded yet you can do so here:

Finished The School Gates by @aachaudhuri.bsky.social today. It was excellent. Very twisty. Recommend it.
