I spent a happy half hour on the Cheung Chau harbourfront last Saturday, trying to get the perfect egret action photo...I'm pretty pleased with the final version but the first two brought me giggling joy too! #HongKong

I spotted this brilliant review for The Wilderness Retreat AND the perfect place to read it!! (Published by @hqstories.bsky.social and available in paperback, ebook and audio.)

I was a bit nervous in advance of my interview on BBC Radio Devon this morning but really enjoyed chatting with Michael Chequer about my new teen book, #Slettbyrd (publishing on November 24th with @zuntold.bsky.social).

I decided to make an origimi crane every day in 2024. Today's is my smallest yet, made from a herbal tea bag wrapper.

🦊 I was so excited to read #SmallHours by Bobby Palmer as I was a huge fan of Isaac and the Egg... and I wasn't disappointed. It's every bit as warm, poignant, quirky and beautifully written and I absolutely LOVED it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you fancy curling up by the fire with a haunting psychological thriller this month, the ebook of #TheWomanBefore is only 99 cents for the whole of December!

Lovely to see #EmbaOakAndTheScreamingSea in Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, alongside Books 1 and 2 in the series. Thank you, Jacqui!

Thought I'd kick off my feed with a photo from last Sunday's epic trek across Dartmoor! Ten hours trudging through fog and bog to hot pasties waiting at the finish line. Never has a steak pasty tasted so good!
