Worth noting that the average age of authors in the top 10 mass market fiction list this week is approx 56 (based on 9 out of 10 - couldn't find age of 1). So if you're a 40+ writer starting out, please remember your best years are still to come!

My OH & I got married 20 years ago this month. His best man & my bridesmaid met at our wedding, went to live in France & have been together ever since. We flew out for a few days together to celebrate & it was so lovely. Lots of chatting, fab food & wine & beautiful scenery!! 🥂
Had car picked up for MOT yesterday. Got told it failed & would cost over £840 to fix. Got the feeling the guy on the phone was just trying to rip me off. Took it to local garage who just passed it with zero work (& a couple of advisories). Moral - don’t use Servicing Stop…😡

Tonight, I received this message from my friend & it felt absolutely incredible. So I guess there’s a couple of things I wanted to say - firstly, you never know the power your words have to inspire others, even if they’re just an off hand comment.
So, it’s my birthday today 🥳🥳 I’m having a day off writing & will be eating lots of Black Forest gateau made by my youngest. And if anyone wants to make my day & fancies leaving a review for
#LookWhatYouMadeMeDo
in any of the usual places, it would be much appreciated!! X
Not only is it HB publication day for
#LookWhatYouMadeMeDo
today, but it’s also got a kindle monthly offer so you can grab it for just 99p!!!!!
Read what some other lovely authors have said about it below...
I live in a thatched cottage & we’ve had to have the window aprons replaced this week - has been so fascinating to watch the thatchers turn bundles of water reed & straw into this - such a skill.
Such a gorgeous lunch & very exciting meeting with the team (& these amazing cakes!!) at
@VikingBooksUK
& my lovely agent
@AgentSophieL
- can’t wait for publication of
#TheGuests

A friend just sent me these photos from
@WHSmith
Gatwick airport - so so lovely to see
#TheBeachParty
everywhere!! 😎😎 (And also slightly surreal!!) If you read & enjoy it, please do post a review - it’s very much appreciated! 🙏🏻
8 years ago I jumped out of a plane - with a parachute! I’d just had a big birthday, realised life is actually quite short & I should try to do things even if they scared me. It gave me the confidence to write a book & in a month’s time my 4th novel will be published!! (1of2)
Alison is convinced that her ex-husband is following her.
She is certain she recognises the strange woman who keeps approaching her.
She knows she has a good reason to be afraid. She just can't remember why...

Much of author life is spent alone, trying to endlessly juggle words on the page to get them to reflect the vision you have in your head, so moments like this when you start seeing your book come together are priceless. Thankyou

@AgentSophieL
& roll on July…
Can authors request to go on holiday with their books
@VikingBooksUK
?!
I’m very envious of seeing some of the amazing locations where
#TheBeachParty
is travelling to…😎😃
Six weeks ago my dad had an operation for the first stage of a cochlear implant. He was ‘switched on’ yesterday & today we had a conversation on the phone for the first time in more than 5 years. Early days, but absolutely incredible result - so grateful for the

Page proofs of

I think all those authors that have written a 2nd novel would agree it’s a challenging* experience.
*Many deleted & rewritten words, more chocolate than ever I’ve eaten, sleepless nights & lots of coffee. Am going in

When your friend finds your book at

A HUGE thank you to anyone who has bought, read or supported this book - I’m so grateful 🙏🏻
Only 8 days to go before
#AllInHerHead
hits the shops in paperback. ()
As I missed out on seeing the hardback in the shops, I’m REALLY REALLY hoping we can make it to next Thursday without going back into full lockdown again...😳🤞😱
@DebutsUk2020
If you want an insight into publication day...
#AllInHerHead
My youngest daughter - So we would have been going to Waterstones tonight?
Me - Yes
YD - And we would have had drinks & seen all your friends?
Me - Yes 😢
YD - Can we eat the chocolates you were going to have instead?
I was kind of hoping the weather at
#Harrogate
would look something like this in time for publication day for
#TheBeachParty
tomorrow… but perhaps not 😂 😎
#TheGuests
publishes on 23 May - a huge thank you to all the authors & bloggers who have been kind enough to support the book so far. I couldn’t ever have imagined this 8 years ago, so I guess sometimes, even if you feel the fear you should do it anyway.
Happy reading!! 😃😎🏝️
A lot of women don’t have issues, but as the U.K. birth trauma report shows, many do. I haemorrhaged, lost 3 litres of blood, ended up in theatre & then ICU. Staying positive isn’t enough. Women need to be listened to & given better maternity care - as the report suggests.
Yes. I feel really strongly about this. Stay positive regardless. For the record I had no pain relief with either of mine and I've had worse food poisoning. A lot of women have no issues at all 💗
If you’re a book blogger & you’ve not flown out to the Maldives to recreate the cover of
#TheGuests
by
@Mrssmithmunday
then I’m afraid you’re not committed! 😄
And I’m hooked! Fab descriptions of the Maldives! 🏝️
I’m going to do an exclusive
