Lovely lovely evening last night with Kate Packman Eagle Bookshop - great turnout in all ages, ans questions from both Kate and the audience that really made me stop & think. I can't wait to read Kate's book too!

To add to this, I was asked which books I mentioned during my conversation w/ Kate Packman. Slightly more eclectic but: -The Edge Chronicles -Motherhood, Sheila Heti -Selfish, Shallow & Self Absorbed, curated by Megan Daum  -The Vegetarian, Han Kang - Atwood, Angela Carter  Why?

Thrilled to announce I will be judging the Bedford Story for the The Bedford Competition 2025. I cannot wait to read your entries.bedfordwritingcompetition.co.uk

We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems. As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting. But what can authors do? Read here: societyofauthors.org/2025/03/21/the…

Looking forward to talking books with the lovely people on the Isle of Sheppey! #WritingCommunity #debutnovel #bridportnovelprize #AuthorsOfTwitter #BookTwitter

Exciting project this weekend. Turning a Shakespeare retelling into a film treatment. Think Anyone But You - this time it’s The Tempest meets Love Island. It’s what happens when a writer teaches Shakespeare to teens. #ShakespeareSunday #WritingCommunity #teaching

That sounds absolutely brilliant! The Tempest with a Love Island vibe? Drama, romance, and chaos Shakespeare would approve. Can’t wait to hear more about this project! #ModernShakespeare"

Any publisher interested in this ought to give their heads a serious wobble. Horrible decision.
