Amy and Flynn love each other - but don't always understand each other. Cue a body swap and Amy's sister's wedding... what could possibly go wrong?

Reminded this week that the best writing tip is to get out and about and talk to people and/or eavesdrop in cafes. I’ve had 2 AHA moments this week where an accidental convo has led to an idea for my MS. Also it means you get good coffee. WIN WIN! These are my wise words (and excellent new shoes)

The downside of writing a book about a cursed creepy kid painting is that everyone sends you photos of other creepy kids paintings. 🤪😅👀

Looking at my bookshelves, it’s unusual for me to have read more than 2 or 3 books by any single author

I’m still really quite fast when I run despite doing nothing to keep fit and when I, inevitably, beat you in the sports day parent’s race I’ll do it in bare feet and pretend it’s a surprise.
As we're all getting to know each other, I propose we volunteer something about ourselves which will infuriate everyone else. But no politics, religion or other nastiness. we're looking for cheerful infuriation only. I'll start.
I sleep amazingly. I've had maybe 10 bad nights of sleep in my life.
