Greenwich is incredible!

EVIL NEPHEW'S REVENGE 😂 (sorry John Ross, ❤️ you too 😂)

Had a great time last night at the Local Authors Showcase at the Play On Words Festival📕 A fantastic initiative and a great community feel of creative people. Also so pleased to find Leeward at Waterstones Lymington amongst some lovely company including Hornblower ⚓🌈

DOUBLE WINNER!!!

To say I'm shocked and so grateful is an understatement! I have notoriously bad luck with awards so to win the Fiction category and Book of the Year at the Isle of Wight Book Awards 2025 is amazing 😭😭😭😭🥰 I'm so appreciative to the judges ❤️

Today is A Merciful Sea's paperback release day! There are a lot of mixed emotions today - excitement, sadness, gratitude... Mostly I am so appreciative of all the people who have supported this trilogy and given it a chance 🥰

Press ganging my assistant into service to show off the paperback edition of A Merciful Sea!! The paperback is out on October 2, a week from today! 🌊🌈 It's amazing to see AMS in paperback, she looks gorgeous 😭😭😭

(Also representing my Leeward jumper 🤣)

My author copies of the paperback of A Merciful Sea are on their way!! 🌊🌈⚓

Always a strange feeling to send your manuscript off to your agent! It's hard to emphasise how intense and all-consuming this story has been. There were many times I wanted to abandon it all but it's finally done 😭😭

Trying to channel the love I still have for Leeward as I struggle through my current (nightmarish) manuscript 😅😂

I'm sure my Feathers McGraw has a mind of his own 🤣 Every time I sit down at my computer in the mornings, he's turned to look another direction 🤣🤣

It's a relatively serious piece but you should know that I unironically used this meme in it 😂

How I periodically feel while writing 😱😂

Pleased to say that A MERCIFUL SEA is in Waterstones' pre-order sale! Just use the code SUMMER25 when ordering 😍 The paperback is due out on 2 October 🌊🏳️‍🌈

I'm officially moving over from the bird app! Currently following as many people as I can here haha. Here are my babies, the queer Age of Sail Nightingale/Courtney series ⚓🌊🏳️‍🌈
