Author, mother of girls. Gimme snow, mountains, beaches and travel. Keep your raw tomatoes to yourself, you crazy kid.
Very pleased to see #BeautifulPeople selected as an Editor’s Pick in That’s Life magazine’s Crime Scene special. Thank you so much!

‘This brilliant tale of privilege, class and angst about being able to ‘fit in’ is absolutely mesmerising.’ 😊🙏😊

Met up with university friends for dinner tonight. We met 32yrs ago in our first week at university. There’s something very life affirming being with old friends. Discussing changes, transitions, life events, telling each other we haven’t changed a bit. Lovely

Beautiful People has been included in The Mail’s Best Books to give as Christmas presents. It’s been listed under Best Psychos which I’m not sure is wholly accurate, unless they’re talking about me of course…

This was Leo, aged about 16 weeks, the night he arrived after a 24 hour journey from a Cypriot dog rescue…

And even better to be sharing the page with @annamazz.bsky.social and her superb political thriller Notes on a Drowning which I’ve read and loved (coming early 2025). 🙌

A fantastic review of Beautiful People in Platinum Magazine from Adele Parks. ‘This novel walks a tightrope between incredibly glamorous and deeply dark, asking the question whether money and power can buy anything, even silence.’

Thank you to Adele and Platinum! 🥰 🙌

#NotesOnADrowning by Anna Sharpe @annamazz.bsky.social Ooo, this is a belter. Slick, pacy, with tension that ratchets up in the most delicious way. Add in masterful plotting, witty dialogue, some sleazy, powerful people behaving badly, and you've a surefire hit. Out Jan 25! @orionbooks.bsky.social

This is what all the cars in the uk look like right now. WILD, eh?!

Goodnight you beautiful creatures. May your pillows be as comfy as Leo’s

I am well into middle age. I have three grown children and no amount of make up is hiding my wrinkles. I will never not snigger. Look, I don’t make the rules

Like William’s The Boy I Love, Beautiful People also has a painting which has a big part. Liberty Leading the People is a painting I’ve always loved and in the book influences my protagonist. And not necessarily in the most helpful way…

Leo has always loved gardening. Even when he was a puppy

Roxy. 6 years old. 3/4 Maine Coon. She has opinions and, yes, she’s judging you

And Saffie. 11 years old. Rescue husky cross. She likes picking cucumbers…

And this is Sweetpea. She’s so keen to say hello she kissed the phone. Cutie pie

When I’m not writing I am usually feeding our retired ponies. This is Scooby. He is too busy eating his lunch to look up and say hi. Rude boi

The sky tonight. No Northern Lights. Just old school horror film clouds, a moon, and some shadowy branches for the witches to swing from.

Especially when they help in the garden

You can find details of my books here www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Amand... and for the hell of it - clearly I have no shame - here's some pretty pictures made by my publisher of some of the lush things readers, awesome authors, and newspapers have said about my latest, Beautiful People.

So 7th book - Beautiful People - is out. People have said very nice things. (Which is up there with cake when it comes to making me smile). The book is about certain privileged folk getting away with bad behaviour, obsession, identity, and a lot of champagne. #beautifulpeople

My seventh book, Beautiful People, was published last week. It was such a lovely day. Pretty flowers. Lunch. Book signing. Drinks with family and friends. Dinner with uni friends. Last fast train home. Bed by midnight. A Lou Reed day tbh
