It’s pretty wild to me that complete strangers are reading and enjoying the 85,000 words I put down on paper… I’m not sure I ever really believed I’d be a traditionally published author but wow, I’m grateful I am… this is beyond my dreams. #booksky #debutauthor

Dead chuffed to see reviews like this coming through for my debut from librarians and other early readers over on @netgalley.bsky.social

Knowing people are reading and reviewing my debut is both thrilling and nerve-wracking 😱 but reading things like this makes it all worth it 🙏❤️ #booksky

Final #bookpost today is #TheHideaway by @nikkiallenauthor.bsky.social which will be published on 17/7 by @panmacmillan.bsky.social Apparently this is for fans of #TheWhiteLotus which I certainly am!

Hello, gorgeous back cover blurb… finding out earlier reviewers are now reading my book definitely calls for another cover shot!

#booksky proofs of my debut THE HIDEAWAY are available to request on @netgalley.bsky.social and, for book influencers, via @panmacmillan.bsky.social Book Break. Enjoy!

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

Five weeks ago my amazing, gentle 6yo son got a fixed-term exclusion from school after an autistic meltdown they failed to manage.

Today, I got a letter from the same school complaining about his attendance levels. Please help me make it make sense?

I read so many horror/thriller books that it’s not often one takes me by surprise… this one had twists and turns that I was NOT expecting!

Loved it. Thanks for getting me through the half-term holidays @jasonrekulak.bsky.social
