Hi 👋😊 my debut thriller, The Deadly Spark, was published last year with HQ 🔥 I've just sent the first draft of my next novel to my agent - fingers crossed this one sells too! 🤞
Would love to connect with other writers, especially crime writers 🔪 and queer writers 🌈

Consumers are becoming so savvy at spotting AI-produced copy. If you want to leave your #blog in the hands of AI, that’s cool… but I reckon you, your business and your customers deserve wayyy better. I have several pieces published and my rates are competitive. Interested? Let’s chat! 💬 #Copywriter

So amazing to see the #Lionesses doing so well.

If you are feeling inspired, why not read a book based on the original Lionesses - The Dick Kerr Girls - some of the most underrated and gifted players to have graced the game

Lets not forget how this journey started
