I've heard that today is #BookLoversDay ! If you want to make this book worm's day take a look at my recently released psychological thriller about a secret society operating in the City of London. Reviews describe it as "gripping" and "tense".

This. I do most my writing between 9pm and 11pm because it’s the only way I can fit it in. Sometimes I write even when I’d rather be watching Netflix or reading, because otherwise the words won’t get done.

I’m a 1/3 through editing a first draft. Honestly editing is so up and down. Some chapters I barely tinker with and I’m like “wow I was on roll when I wrote this” and others “what is this? Why is every second word misspelt? Why have we randomly changed characters’ names?”
