Best friends, a fake engagement - you know where this is going, right? Wrong! Loved writing this Christmassy duet with Sophie Pembroke - get your Scottish castle, snowy, Christmas romance here!

Dogs enjoying the snow.

I have a book out on query to agents and this is the opening.

My new obsession is following a cheap Scandinavian houses account on Instagram and imagining myself living in aesthetic perfection by water.

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £7.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £16.99 for a completely blank notebook?

Today I scrap 20 000 words and start again. At least I will when I stop procrastinating.

I have just spent far too much time figuring out how to change my Microsoft default font back to calibri.

Unsure what I’m loving more; peaceful counter protestors vastly outnumbering far right in Brighton & Walthamstow (see below) or Times reporting a woman in a nightie marching up to the half-arsed Blackpool wannabe protest & demanding that her kids get home to bed

Walthamstow you beauty.

There's something kind of embarrassing about a first post. But maybe not as embarrassing as seeing that I apparently posted over THIRTY THOUSAND TIMES in the old place...
