'I know so many neurodivergent writers who have had rejections for "unrelatable" characters.'

Novelist @alethearlyons.bsky.social joins me on Northern Voices today to talk about diversity, writing and why AI isn't actually 'intelligent'.

A photo of Thea in front of a glass bookshelf filled with old gold and leather-bound books. She is side on from the camera and photographed from the shoulders up. She is smiling at the camera and has swirly eye makeup, bronze lipstick, blonde straight hair and brown eyes. She is wearing gold necklaces and a black vest top. The Tyne Bridge is pictured in the centre of the frame over a still, reflective River Tyne in Newcastle, UK. Either side of the bridge are buildings with a warmer glow as the sun rises. The words Northern Voices in white lettering feature in the bottom centre of the image.

We think in stories.
We talk in stories.
We believe in stories.
We are stories.

Our identity is the character we play in the story of our lives... And it is of immeasurable importance to us.

My books are now available on Rakuten Kobo starting December 18th 2025. Pre-orders are available.

When the unconventional daughter of a British Spy joins the family business and meets the unorthodox bastard son of an aristocrat, murder, mayhem and romance soon follow.

Loose Ends is hitting that sweet spot for thriller fans—tight action, real tension, and a story that won’t let go once you’re in it.

If you’re looking for your next “read way too late at night” book, this might be the one.
