To the reader of The Tuscan Daughter who said she was 'tired of the constant theme of feminism' in novels, female partisans weren't even allowed to take part in victory parades after WW2, even though many died. Women's rights need protection. Ask the women of Afghanistan. #histfic

Pressed 'send' on my next WW2 novel this week. It's set in #Florence and one of the stars is this bridge. I'm told the cover reveal will be on January 14th! #coverreveal #books #histfic #Italy #PonteVecchio

I'm feeling very excited, but also nervous about the upcoming film of one of my all-time favourite novels, Maggie O'Farrell's #Hamnet. I hope they don't Hollywoodise it like they did with another of my personal treasures, All the Light We Cannot See. #drama #Shakespeare #jessiebuckley

John Truby at truby.com is an absolute legend. Attending one of his master classes helped launch my writing career. Fifteen novels and an optioned screenplay later I remain grateful for his wisdom.
