20k into my new novel in 20 days! It’s one of those stories that feel like it’s already happened, and I am not the author, but someone running after real people with a notepad and pen trying to get down what’s happening as accurately as possible. #writing #writer #author #seventhnovel

Oh, I am loving my new WIP. I just want to spend all day on it. Alas, I cannot. For I have other things to take care of, like walking the dog, making toast, editing novels, and the like.

Amazing time at the #NorthernPublishersFair with you all!
I'm a stablehand two mornings a week, and I have to say, there is nothing that brings me joy like working with animals. It is possibly my favourite thing, even if I’m just changing water and cleaning stalls. Just the smell of the stables is joy. What makes you feel that way?
