Petition signed - truly shocking

Everyone stay calm, but IT’S PUBLICATION WEEK FOR DARK ISLAND 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Dylan’s heard his face is on the back cover, I think he’s a little excited 🤣🙌🐶 #DarkIsland #AmReading #VWG

I’ll be doing my first ever book signing at the amazing Bookends Bookshop in Carlisle this Sunday. If anyone is in the area do come and say hi 👋☺️📚✍️ (You don’t even have to buy the book, I just don’t want to look like a no mates 🤣🤣) #DarkIsland #Cumbria

So excited to share the cover for #TheMemoryKeeper by @write_corinmd 🎊 Dive into this emotional WWII historical fiction story about love, loss, and sacrifice. Perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Lorna Cook, and Kathryn Hughes 💙 Out August 13th: ow.ly/EAGv50RA789

What an amazing night at Waterstones in Dumfries to talk about #DarkIsland. Lovely to see so many friendly faces in the crowd!! Huge thanks to Waterstones Dumfries for hosting, and to the wonderful Danielle Devlin for asking the questions and not leaving me up there on my own 🤣✍️📚🥂

I wholeheartedly recommend #DarkIsland to anybody seeking a gripping page-turner for their summer reading - and it comes with the bonus that its midwinter atmosphere will help cool you down!

I'm rather partial to @write_corinmd's writing, as she well knows, so very much looking forward to this. Congratulations (slightly in advance), Corin - wishing you every success with The Memory Keeper

Introducing the heartbreaking new novel from the author that brought you Boys Don't Cry. May All Your Skies Be Blue by Fíona Scarlett is out next February, available to pre-order now 💗

Beyond thrilled (and v shocked!) to have made the shortlist for these important and brilliant awards. TYSM to the readers and judges of The Diverse Book Awards for this honour. Especially thrilled to be alongside the wonderful Nicola Dinan and Jenny Ireland in the YA shortlist 👌👌👌

Another of my formative influences gone. Fond memories of Tony Soper's programmes - wise, fun, conveyed in that distinctive voice with infectitious enthusiasm and a gentle authority. Also set a high bar in craggy jumper/waterproof coat fashion, the clothing of heroes.

We teamed up with our friends at Scottish Book Trust to compile this list of 20 books, all set in Edinburgh to celebrate our 20th anniversary as a UNESCO City of Literature, one for every year! What are your favourite books set in the capital?📚 scottishbooktrust.com/book-lists/20-…

To celebrate PB publication day you can purchase The Black Feathers for the price of 99p.. on Kindle just in time for the spooky season…. 🪶🕯️🪶🕯️🪶🕯️🪶

#Aurora or maybe #STEVE - not sure, but incredible to see tonight from a dark field surrounded by sheep! 13 second exposure - Harbury, Warwickshire

After all the wet weather, happy to grab some images of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS).

Take a look at this. A beautiful Siren of a cover that will lure in many a passing sailor/reader! All to be rewarded with the riches of the story within. Something to look forward to in March 2025. julia kelly #TheFishermansGift
