Author, mother of girls. Gimme snow, mountains, beaches and travel. Keep your raw tomatoes to yourself, you crazy kid.
I read this. I loved this. I urge you to read it too because frankly READING is legit what helps right now and this is a belter. Happy pub day Anna Sharpe and your evil (ok, not evil) twin @annamazz.bsky.social !
What a week to have a book out about political corruption and powerful, abusive men! At least in my novel they get their comeuppance.

My first Anna Sharpe thriller. Out today in all formats in the UK, and in eBook and audio in the US.

It is a great read and very difficult to put down. Very much recommend it.
Very pleased to see #BeautifulPeople selected as an Editor’s Pick in That’s Life magazine’s Crime Scene special. Thank you so much!

‘This brilliant tale of privilege, class and angst about being able to ‘fit in’ is absolutely mesmerising.’ 😊🙏😊

It was a fantastic read. Can’t recommend more highly. Loved every second of it. @amandajennings.bsky.social
When you’ve started reading a book and it’s brilliant, and don’t want to put it down. @amandajennings.bsky.social I am hooked on #BeautifulPeople. Thanks so much for sending it! xx

I also crept back on to Twitter/X when my book came out and I need to turn away from that cesspit. I’ve been rowing with weird American Trumpers and misogynists. This is not as fun as my apparent commitment to it would have me believe…

Anyway, pleased to meet you. My name’s Amanda and I’m a self-destructive over-thinker.

Also, I’ve spent the last two books not reading any Amazon/Goodreads reviews at all and I was happy. But I’ve forgotten all my own advice. Obviously. #StoopidWriterBrain

Despite all the good stuff, Amazon glitch has split the editions and taken a nice lot of 5 star reviews with audio and left the other editions without, which has brought average down. They are trying to fix it. Reason tells me not to worry but #WriterBrain thinks ‘reason’ is for losers… 😖😭🤷‍♀️

Met up with university friends for dinner tonight. We met 32yrs ago in our first week at university. There’s something very life affirming being with old friends. Discussing changes, transitions, life events, telling each other we haven’t changed a bit. Lovely

Beautiful People has been included in The Mail’s Best Books to give as Christmas presents. It’s been listed under Best Psychos which I’m not sure is wholly accurate, unless they’re talking about me of course…

Trouble is I don’t think anybody really enjoyed watching It’s Two Gs Wallace enough to leap to his defence or wave an apologist’s flag. The man won’t be on our screens again? *unbothered shrug*

Love this. So pleased 🙏🙌🥰
My stand out in November was Beautiful People @amandajennings.bsky.social

Meetcutesnyc and Meetcutesldn are Insta accs where couples are stopped in the street and asked how they met, what they’re looking forward to, what they love about each other. If a male/female, almost 100% the woman says her favourite thing is his kindness. Not looks, money, status. Always kindness

Behold this beautiful cover for latest masterpiece by
@bethlewis.bsky.social - naturally it's COVERED in gold.

Proofs landing any day…
We are thrilled to reveal the cover of #TheRush by Beth Lewis, a gripping historical fiction coming June 2025.

Canada, 1898. The Gold Rush is on in the wilderness of the Yukon. Fortunes are made as quick as they're lost and Dawson City has become a lawless settlement gripped by gold fever...

It’s actually compulsory to say “pig” after “that’ll do”.
