Yes! The smell of September is in the air and I am happy......Have a read of some autumnal musings xxx @WriteWorkshopNY

Delighted to host a third workshop in North West London lead by my wonderful literary agent @WriteWorkshopNY I wouldn't be sculpting my third novel today if I hadn't attended one such on that crisp Manhattan morning of December 2012. Set your story free!

I’m listening to a piece for cello so intimate I can hear the cellist’s breath. Music weaves a helix of experiences with such force, resonating memories, futures dreamt, pasts imagined. It’s reminding me why I needed to write the book I’m editing now. #IAmWriting @WriteWorkshopNY

This Maestra at the keys makes my heart sing. Research is a beautiful thing when you get to bask in the artistry of women like this ❤️ #Maestra #MarthaArgerich #FoodOfLove #IAmWrting #IAmEditing

‘In a passionate ode to love stories and the magic found in a small Italian village, Alexander elevates a simple romance imbuing the epic narrative with the wonders of self discovery.’ Thank you Publishers Weekly! #440Steps Kensington Books @WriteWorkshopNY HQ Stories

Help me with my ‘books not to read in public’ wotsit. I’m sat on a train with a very wet face. I can’t cry as hard as I want, not because I feel I shouldn’t (crying is always a good thing) but because I don’t want anyone to feel compelled to silence my howls. What’s your book?

They're right, it IS a scary time out there to be a man. For Halloween, I'll be dressed as a Woman Who Stands Up For Herself. Spoooooooky.

So lush to host another writers workshop, witnessing the courage and terror of sharing novels mid-craft, reaching an audience beyond their author. Tables like these are cauldrons simmering with possibility and positivity. #WeWrite @WriteWorkshopNY Ed Bailey Susana Aikin

Delighted to be snuggling up with my line edits on #Book3 for the foreseeable. 1970s Rome I’m coming for you and your music and your food....! #LoveMyJob #Grateful #FoodOfLove #WatchThisSpace #MusicTales #PianistProtagonist

I leave Big at his desk probing Proverbs 31 for homework. He questions why the tireless Wife does all the work whilst the King looks on? Next I partner Small in the Strictly *Imagined* Come Dancing and win the final. Most pleasurable parenting to date. #StrictlyParenting

All the Happy x

Big turns 12. I switch on a piano shuffle. A tune comes on that I listened to ad nauseam (according to others) throughout my first pregnancy and during labour; here’s Time, a soft breeze upon my skin, palpable and invisible. And those are the feet that made me mum.
