Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

I just can’t stop buying them. I now own more books than I will ever be capable of reading, but they’re just so shiny. They need homes. Which one to read first? #instabook #book #booksbooksbooks #bookhaul #bookish #queerbooks #lgbtqbooks #writer #writing #writingcommunity #read #reading

Absolutely over the moon to now be represented by Greene & Heaton… #writingcommunity #books

I absolutely adored this book. Such a joy and perfect for cosy nights. Loved the ensemble cast & all their issues. I feel like I’ve befriended them all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is on another level!! Manchester gays, this one is a must read! Not only my queer book of the year but possibly of all time. It’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s raw!

So I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but I’m going to become a ticky toker. You can head over there and give me a follow and I’ll be posting content mainly about books and biscuits. Do join me as I try and act twenty years younger than I am. #TikTok www.tiktok.com/@queerbooks?...

Dear barber of 22 years, being on annual leave for a week before Manchester Pride is a hate crime. I have reported you to the relevant authorities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is consuming in its rawness. It’s 1986 & Brian has AIDs. He’s already said goodbye to his boyfriend and dozens of friends, and must now come to terms with his own fate whilst facing prejudice from his family. Thank you @emreadsthebooks.bsky.social for the recommendation!

I bought another 6 books today. It’s and addiction. Inverts Friend of Dorothy Talking at Night Honey Bee Instructions for a Heatwave The Prettiest Star

N - Ivalo (Finland)🇫🇮 E - Chittagong (Bangladesh)🇧🇩 S - Falkland Islands 🇫🇰 W - Vancouver (Canada)🇨🇦

What I really mean when I say I’ll do the big shop…

I need some book recommendations please. Queer Lit only. No sci fi or fantasy, just not my thing. Thank you :) in return here are 4 fabulous queer books…

I can’t believe it’s the 1st of August and I’m considering putting the heating on.

My top 6 books of all time. What are yours? #reading #books #writingcommunity

How much? SEVEN QUID. I remember when you could go out with twenty quid in your pocket, get pissed, and still have enough for a bag of chips and the night bus home.

This is my happy space…

I need 3 months off work. One month to finish off writing my book, the next to read the six books on my to be read pile, and the third month to think about going back to work.

When you can’t sleep at 3am there’s only one thing for it… Classic Coronation St

Decided it’s time to shake off all the editor rejections & to stop feeling sorry for myself. Naturally I needed to treat myself before sitting down to start writing book number 4. #writingcommunity

I know I’m late to the party with this one, but WOW! I can’t put this down.

I just want to talk about books and writing all day. #writingcommunity #booksky

My Four favourite queer books of the last year (one is actually from the 90s but only just discovered it).

It’s not often a book captures me to the extreme that I can’t put it down until I’ve devoured every word. Yet @dannyramadan.com does just that in this heartbreaking story of forbidden love. My book of the year! #queerliterature🏳️‍🌈 #queerbooks #queerlit #books #pride #pridemonth #lgbtq

No better place to be than in bed with a brew and a book.

To celebrate the publication of this beautiful novel by my extremely talented friend Cynthia Anderson, I’m giving away a copy gifted from Cynthia herself. To win simply like and share & we’ll notify the winner on Monday. #booksky

I’ve not left the house in 7 days as I’ve have a sickness bug. I’m starting to go slowly insane after not talking to anyone face to face, I’ve just said hello to the spider that lives in the corner. His name is Peter.

I never get bored with this book. Third time around and still laughing and crying.

I’m so incredibly proud to share the cover of the extremely talented Cynthia Anderson’s debut novel. I workshopped this book with Cynthia in the very early drafts and I can’t begin to tell you how beautiful Cynthia’s writing is.The book is available to pre order now. Go on, what are you waiting for.

If you’re looking for a book for the weekend I can’t recommend this enough. It’s a blend of Diary Farm, military veganism, world world 2 and a non binary protagonist, which sounds crazy. But it just works into one beautiful novel. 🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮

Why do I always feel like I’m filming a music video when I’m on a sunbed. #HungrySpice

Sundays are for buying books. #writingcommunity #booksky

I was not made for running, I was made for watching box sets and eating pizza. I’m in training for the Manchester half marathon in aid of Alzheimer’s society, if you could sponsor a couple of quid I’d very much appreciate it. www.justgiving.com/page/writerm...

My book of the month and one of the best LGBT books I’ve ever read. Set across three generations of the same family, Deviants explores the impact & shame of the anti LGBT law, Section 377, enforced on India by British rule. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I ate this novel up in one sitting. My only complaint, with just 174 pages I wanted more!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New book day, I can’t wait to get started on these… #booksky #lgbtbooks

Watching Silent Witness from a few weeks ago and it’s driving me mad. They took off on a Boeing 747, they’re now flying on an A330 & accessing the hold through a hatch in the floor which doesn’t exist! It’s as bad as #ITVs Red Eye series.

Finally feeling like my old self. Manchester, I’m coming to get ya!

I don’t know if the fashion in Hollister had gone really shit or if I’ve got really old. The only thing that seems to fit is the curtain in the changing room.

Tuning into the news is like watching America literally fall apart and drag itself back fifty years.

My favourite LGBT+ Books #booksky #writingcommunity

I first read this book twenty years ago. It made me cry more now than it did back then. Pure and simply it’s a story about life. About missed opportunities, fate, friendship, loss, and love. It’s a reminder to say how you really feel & not to let love slip through your fingers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #booksky

I’m 40 in June & I’m feeling so melancholy about it. Turning 30 didn’t bother me at all, but 40 … I can’t explain it. Does life really begin at 40?

I really feel for LGBTQ+ Americans right now. What a scary and horrible time they’re going through. I hope to god you can get through the next four years. Remember, there is more good in this world than evil, even if they’re president.

2024 was the year that just kept on giving, with a boxing glove with a brick inside. 2025 is the year I turn 40. I’d like a holiday this year, to move house, and to finally get a dog - I don’t mean a man in a pup masks. Top of the list is a book deal & an air fryer (I hear they’re life changing)

One of my favourite books of the year. The story of Albert stayed with me long after the final page. This is the perfect winter read to bunker down with. Grab the biscuits and the blanket and enjoy this beautiful read. #booksky #lgbt

Good morning wide awakers. What’s in the agenda today?

After being on prescription steroids for ten days I can honestly say I’ve never eaten so much in my life. I’ve never had an appetite like it. I was sure the cabin crew were going to put me in cargo on my flight today.

Writing update… Two publisher submission rejections this week… 1. Loved the voice but couldn’t connect with the story. 2. Loved the story but couldn’t connect to the voice. And so the submission process continues. Thank god I have an excellent agent to keep me sane. #writingcommunity

The morning after the works Xmas party and I’m feeling very smug for not drinking and leaving early as I look at the shells of human beings waking through the office door.
