Unpopular opinion #reading #audiobook #shrill PS as an #author I really don’t mind what you do

I’m doing a batch of cover classes @crouchendfitnesscentre this month. I LOVE it here. Huge space with daylight, really clean & good equipment. I love personal training & my Zoom sessions but I’ve missed the sense of community you get in classes. Thank you Kaan & the team for all your support. 🩷💪🏽🩷

How it started with Tiggy & Pip. How it’s going. They’re now all grown up & thriving. Pip had her MOT at the vet this week & was declared PERFECT! Proud mummy moment. She had a lot of issues when we got her at 4 weeks & hand-reared her with the help of #hillsvets #caturday 😻

Tight #shoulders? Stretches for #writers. #fitpro #authorlife #weekend

Writers. Do you spend almost as much time blowing your own trumpet as writing? Does it even help? #amwriting #marketing #authorlife #bookstagram #writer

Why are you so … Oh

Yep. #amwriting #authorlife #firstdraft #keepgoing #error

How it started. Five years ago today. Publication Day for #callmemummy my debut #thriller @viper.books I spent 48 hours straight tweeting & posting. Ended up #trending & it became a NUMBER 1 #bestseller !!! Best day of my life 🩷🖤🩷 #authorlife

Morning campers. Today I learnt about #RoseWednesday 💐 I have no roses. 🌹 But I have this. @the_boobs_project

I’ve never been diagnosed, but could this mean ADHD? Do you cheat on books? #amreading #mood #authorlife #books

Morning campers. We’re at the vet’s for her MOT today. 😻🤞😻

Do you wuther in bookshops?

Live footage of the editing process. Ed: We’ll just take this tiny bit out… Me: NOOOOOOOOO!!! It will all fall apart! Ed: Trust me, everything will be okay. #editing #amwriting #authorlife #keepgoing #mondaymotivation

Morning campers. A lovely message from a Nobel Prize in Literature winning author! What a time to be alive! Strangely her email address says AUTHUR. You’d have thought she’d have got that right at the very least. I’m shooketh. #scams

As a big fan of #slowhorses on tv this was my first time reading an original #thriller from #mickherron LOVED IT! Hugely entertaining. Characters I cared about. #bookreview #clowntown #funny #spies

Pip: Mother dear, why are you not writing? Those Dreamies won’t buy themselves. Me: I’ve been battling Thames Water due to the lack thereof. Pip: Those Dreamies won’t buy themselves.

Much withering was had @goldsborobooks tonight for the launch of the incandescent @essie_fox_author ‘s new take on #wutheringheights - #catherine @orendabooks 🖤 I went as #cathcliff - be your own toxic relationship 🖤🖤🖤

The BBC’s new #LordOfTheFlies is visually lush but doesn’t move it on from the original. When I first saw it at school my first thought wasn’t ‘how shocking’ but ‘we’d have eaten those posh kids within a week.’ #feral

Another cunning AI #scam. Apparently my book will feature alongside icons like this - although not sure who this Margaret Atwood is supposed to be. Beware book clubs making outrageous claims. #booklovers #authorlife

Morning campers. Any #writers make notes in the middle of the night only to be totally confused the next day? #notebook #WIP #amwriting

As a fan of #slowhorses on the telly this is the first of the original #thrillerbooks I’ve read - #clowntown LOVING IT. And a question - do all writers end up writing about writing?

Drizzle. Drizzle. Drizzle.

Thrilled to get an #arc of the new @janice.hallett - #thesilentappeal viper.books - a follow up to the hit #bestseller The Appeal. The village is back. ISSY IS BACK! Pure GOLD!!! #booksbooksbooks #authorlife
