This is an absolute JOY of a book. It made me laugh and cry, it has some WONDERFUL characters in it, and it is so, so romantic. 💖 I properly love it, and you should all add it to your reading lists.

OUT ONE MONTH TODAY! Includes a v beautiful but spoiled heroine called Stella, an ageing private detective called Marjorie, a retired police dog handler called Harold, and a handsome but deeply mysterious man (who may or may not be an arms dealer) called Fitz. All this and more!

We finally, FINALLY watched Top Gun: Maverick. Feel like I have been knocked over by a massive wave of nostalgia. What a film! I have cried ALL the tears. All of them. There are none left, anywhere.

Friends and lovers. I am (briefly) back on Twitter to say I am taking on freelance work for January, February and March - editing and consultancy. Authors have said I am quite good at editing and publishing their books if that helps. PM for more info/ fees. Do spread the word!

🚨This is not a drill🚨 The Dead Romantics by is deliciously romantic and so emotional - I think I cried at least once every chapter. It’s about love and death and ghosts 👻 which is basically my perfect book, and editions are stunning.💖 🥰Treat yourself!🥰

Every time I get to the end of a chapter, I add another one to my Scrivener binder, because there is more stuff I want to write. At this rate my first draft is going to be 200,000 words. (Kate Bradley please do not look at this: I promise I will sort it out).

Hang on… HANG ON. General & Literary Fiction . But split Crime & Thrillers into TWO SEPARATE lists, and COMPLETELY omit Romance & Saga? How is this possible? Where is the #RespectRomFic list??
