Books one and two are finished and edited.
Book 3 is not moving along as quickly as it's have liked.
Not sure if it's because I started a new job a few weeks ago 🤷🏻‍♀️
But hey, I'm already off zero and at £0.14 for the month with my others! 💪

My first book signing yesterday was amazing! So many people showed up and supported me. I was so busy that I only managed to snag a few photos.

People still like magic school stories right? 🙏
I have 2/3 of my dark academia books written and edited... But not seen any releases in this genre for a while.

So hold me and hold me,
Don't tell me your name.
The morning will be wiser than this evening is.
Then leave me to my enemied dreams,
And be quiet as you are leaving, miss.

Z is for Zombies, Red Cape's final anthology in the series, is now out in the world!
Which Way is Out: Emma needs work shoes, but her friend thinks it'll be more fun to take part in an escape room inside an old shopping mall. What could possibly go wrong?
Definitely nothing to do with zombies... 👀
