My writing was rejected multiple times on submission. But I kept going until I realised that writing unafraid was the answer. And finally, YEARS later, 5 books got published. Number 6 was turned into a TV series. And I’m going to see it today. Well, me and Dickie 🐽 #NeverGiveUp

I’ve seen the first episodes of Sweetpea. It’s taken 28 years to realise my dream of seeing characters I wrote on the big screen. I can’t quite process it. So this is me rn:

Finally got round to watching #Saltburn and I don’t know what it says about me but I bloody loved it. I’m such a sucker for a divisive protagonist who mixes up the status quo. And the script/direction is just exquisite. Would totes recommend if you’re a nutball like me🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Not an achievement in itself but I visited the set of the TV series that’s being made out of one of my books, despite 11 years of rejection by agents and publishers, five novels that more-or-less tanked and once being told I’m “not really a storyteller.” That was a good day 😊

Had a few comments questioning my fictional serial killer's stance on women's rights because it turns her on when she kills someone bad. Yeah um, she's a psychopath. A tad desensitised. And sometimes the stuff she does isn't quite cricket, u know? Hope that clears it up a bit😐

I bought the Sylvanians Seaside Restaurant during the first lockdown. And the ice cream parlour in the second one. 🐰 🐻 🐱

If whoever wins this stack doesn’t have the first book in the Sweetpea series, please @ me in and I’ll send you that one as well. Seems only right to have the full set. #InBloom is book 2, #DeadHead is book 3 and #ThornInMySide is book 4 😊 🔪 🌸

Looking for a publisher who’ll just buy my ideas now so I don’t have to write the fucking things, ideally.

The #publishingindustry has recently seen a rise in violent and criminal female characters. From Colleen Hoover's Verity to Bella Mackie's How to kill your family 🔪 there's a spike in women being the literary killers over men

This is the first sighting of my debut in a book shop, circa 2010. I always share this picture with my writing students to illustrate my point that you have to stay true to what YOU want to write, nevermind what the market is doing. #ToThineOwnSelfBeTrue #AmWriting

My edit for Sweetpea book 5 is back safely from the menders and my GOD it feels good to be a writer again. I’ve been quite depressed the last few weeks without Rhiannon by my side. Now, it’s like I’ve been reanimated ⚡️

I hate competitions that are all 'To enter just Follow, Comment, Tag 8 friends and Tell me how awesome I am.' Fuck all that. Just RT this and I'll pick a name to win a signed set of new cover editions of the first 3 Sweetpea books. Ends 14/11. UK only. #CrimeFiction #serialkiller
