Lovely visit to Brontë Parsonage Museum this week - great to see the #ColonialBrontes exhibit and present a copy of #Heiresses to the library…

Wonderful to finally see Shibden Hall, home of Anne Lister #gentlemanjack🎩 - amongst other things a shrewd businesswoman like the women in #Heiresses. Also discovered a branch of the #Lister family went out to #Virginia…

A pleasure to discuss #Heiresses with Tony Warner of Black History Walks last week at Senate House courtesy of @icws-sas.bsky.social - also brilliant that Samantha Williams of This is Book Love could come along to sell copies of both our books. Thanks to Kingsley Abbott for the invitation!

Delighted to do this #Heiresses interview for @bfworld.bsky.social

I’ve noticed a creepy phenomenon since publishing my second book #Heiresses that was not a thing back when #BlackTudors came out in 2017. I get these weird sucky-up emails that must have been written by AI claiming they will get the book the audience it deserves… anyone else get this?

Delighted to be there for this exciting announcement! Congratulations to Hannah Durkin. 🥂🥂🥂

Love this! “Did” Arcadia for A level. Great play!

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Looking forward to this tonight!

Happy Advent! Had a go at decorating my own candle this year, quite pleased with the result. And a nice way to light up dark grey school-run mornings this month. 🕯️

Was a pleasure to speak about #Heiresses @bridportarts.bsky.social with @malikalnasir.bsky.social - author of “Searching For My Slave Roots” and @paullashmar.bsky.social author of “Drax of Drax Hall“. So many synergies between our work. And some fascinating insights from the audience too…

It was lovely to be in conversation with Leslie Primo @nationalgalleryuk.bsky.social recently - especially as they have Zoffany’s portrait of my #Heiresses cover girl - Mrs Oswald - & paintings previously owned by the Watson Taylors from Chapter 9. Interview by Jelena Sofronijevic of Empire Lines.

Backstage shot of our wonderful panel Birmingham Lit Fest yesterday- a really thought provoking discussion with Casey Bailey @corinnefowler.bsky.social & Malachi McIntosh on the theme of Colonial Countryside - how do we tell colonial stories in the houses that are scattered across the country?

Great night @britishlibrary in conversation with Sudhir Hazareesingh and Nicole-Rachelle Moore - we could have talked about #Heiresses and Rebels all night long!
