I might have an indie bookstore pre-order campaign brewing.
And this might be one of the pre-order bonuses I revealed on IG yesterday to celebrate reaching 800 followers there.

Guitar Concerto in C Flat Major, Op. 12: Lucina
A girl playing guitar in a bar was more than enough to catch Daniel's attention. But she was more than that: something hypnotic, something ethereal, something familiar. What if the girl of your dreams...

One year ago, this little book hit the shelves in the UK. It didn't have much in the way of fanfare, no one will nominate it for awards, but despite everything, it's sold so much better than I expected and has made some solid fans, which, at the end of the day, is what matters.

Day two of counting down to my book's pub anniversary. This story possessed me on an October morning. I wrote it faster than anything I've written before.
It is by far the hardest book to pitch. because really, it's two stories curled around each other, like serpents.

I love this book so much.
In a week, it will be the anniversary of my second book coming out, and my second anniversary as an author, so I'm going to count down the days by trying to convince you to read it, starting with the cover - designed by Lydia Blagden and art by Mia Carnevale.

Don’t get hung up on the first draft. It took me forever to finish my first draft of my first book because I kept trying for perfection the first time, and it’s flatly not possible. Let yourself do it badly. You can always make it better later. #HiveMentor
