So so excited to open this book post! It’s the first time I’ve received a Jill Mansell proof. I have been a huge fan for many years and have read almost all her books so to be sent an early copy is very special. Thanks Jill & Team Headline! #justonelookatyou #jillmansell #BookSky #bookpost #newbook

Are you on Instagram? I'm there @ neetschapman, same username as here. Is currently my fave place to be on social media and whatever am doing - even when immersed in edits, I usually post stories daily to keep in touch with everyone. I often post reels too about my writing life

I have Take That tickets! That’s all. As you were.

I fits, so I sits. At least one of us is comfortable! #cat #catnap #tabbylife

Busy at the beach! 😂 September reset is going well. Taking time to recalibrate and give my next story idea some time to percolate. #Writer #booksky #beachwalk #norfolk #reset

Top tip - Mulling over ideas, plots and characters is time well spent. It’s important to me to get to know my characters first. Once I know something is going to work then I can set to work with the post-it notes. Thinking it through now saves me time later. #WritingTip #WriterLife

I was just congratulating myself on having not eaten any biscuits today. And then I remembered I had a cinnamon bun for breakfast 😂

Not planning on getting up anytime soon! Happy Caturday! #Cat #CatLife #Caturday #SleepyCat

Huge happy pub day to @sarahbennettauthor.bsky.social 🎉📚🎉

You never forget your first! Published in paperback 10 years ago, I saw my debut novel, It Started At Sunset Cottage on the shelves for the first time. Kate’s story set me on the road to becoming a full time writer and I will be forever grateful. #booksky #bookish

And the news is out! I’m moving to a new publishing home at Bantam, Transworld Books part of Penguin Random House! And I can’t wait to share more information about my new stories with you! Watch this space… #BookNews #BookSky www.thebookseller.com/rights/trans...

I’ve been working on a rewrite. A rewrite is basically a massive edit! There loads that needs to change, a key thread that needs to come out and be replaced and then I need to deal with the knock on impact on character and plot. There’s lots of staring at the keyboard! #writerlife #booksky

Don’t miss this book bargain! Ebook 99p on all platforms! Sometimes, you have to fake it until you make it… Quirky heroine ✔️ Fake dating ✔️ Lots of laughs ✔️ Coastal location ✔️ Friendship ✔️ Cute animals ✔️ mybook.to/SunsetShore #bookish #bookworm #booktok #romancebookrecs #booksky

When it comes to the setting of this novel, what kind of vibes are you getting from the book cover? (CLUE: you will be surprised by where it is actually set! 😉) This misrepresentation of location is happening a LOT at the moment... #blueskybooks #booksky

Introducing my Admin Assistant, colleague and coworker! Meet Lily! Lily is a rescue and is now 12 years old. Hobbies include filing (playing with screwed up paper), checking stationery supplies (getting in cupboards) and security (looking out of the window). #catswithjobs #tabbycat #caturday

Readers often ask me ‘Which book of yours should I read first?’ Answer - ‘It doesn’t matter, they are all standalone stories.’ Just pick one and enjoy! I’d check out whichever one is on offer! #BookSky #BookTok #Bookish www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Bella...

One year ago today Finding Love At Sunset Shore was published! I am very fond of this book and its quirky main character Ros. If you like fake dating, lol moments and friendship then why not give this a read? #booklover #romcombooks #booktok #romancebooks #BookSky

My view right now! My Admin Assistant is getting up close and personal. Today I am starting to sort out the timeline on book 18 while I mull over options for rewriting book 17. But at least I have company! #BookSky #Cats
