Off to work with a spring in my step, hoping someone asks me when my book is out so I can finally say: NEXT MONTH 🤩

This week, I met with an orthopaedic surgeon who talked me through the surgery I need on my foot. I won’t be able to walk, drive or work for at least three months and all I can think about is how many books I’ll be able to read in three months 😅

Away shopping to find an outfit for a thing and bought books instead. Not even sorry. Keep seeing these two books everywhere, so… @jennieg_author #thelistofsuspiciousthings Paul Murray #thebeesting 📚

When your 19 year old (who isn’t a reader 🤷🏼‍♀️) asks if book two is ready for him to read yet. Soon, my friend

Authors! I have a very small handful of proofs for this incredible debut, from our PMJ Prize winner @ByClaireWilson . Part-thriller, part doomed-love-story, all set in an intensely claustrophobic prison, it is SO good! DM me if you're keen...

Just received my @prize_novel feedback and seeing how much the readers liked my novel has made my day. Giving examples of how easily I can improve helps me greatly. Thanks all #FivebyFive #CrimeFiction #WritingCommunity

Several years Several drafts Several tears Several false starts Several meltdowns Several relapses of imposter syndrome But only this once can I say, my book is finally, FINALLY finished. [and I’m happy with it] #amwriting #CrimeFiction

Had to say goodbye to this wee guy through the week. Being alone in the house is strange, I keep expecting him to jump up and cuddle in. Our hearts are still broken - there will forever be a dog-shaped hole in our lives 💔

The event I’m doing a reading at on 13th August at the @edbookfest is SOLD OUT! Quite the accomplishment considering it clashes with @valmcdermid 📚 😆 #scotlandsstoriesnow #scotlandsyearofstories #edinburghbookfestival

Have a lot of family stuff going on and a lot of running about so I’ve treated myself to a kindle scribe so I can scribble when I have a spare moment or two. Hoping it’s going to be worth the money 😬
