I’m so excited that my next two books will be with Helen at Little, Brown and Charlotte at John Murray Press - and I’m blown away that my book will be published in French, Spanish and German as well!
Thanks so much to Oli and all at AM Heath for all their hard work!

I had such a lovely weekend. Huge thanks to @cymerafestival.co.uk for a great event. The panel was fun and brilliantly moderated by @caileansteed.bsky.social . The atmosphere at the reading on Saturday was so welcoming and filled with people sharing favourite books at the end. Feeling blessed.

My first ever adult-book event and I had an absolute blast. Thanks hugely to everyone who came to and asked questions at the event with me and @saderotica.bsky.social, to @caileansteed.bsky.social for chairing and to @hburghbookfest.bsky.social for organising. I cannot wait for the next one! 🩵🤖
