‘You’re Nicked’ is back!! Fancy getting arrested by Graham Bartlett and booked into custody by me…the grumpy custody sergeant? If you’re coming to Beyond the Book Festival in May…book your slot to experience what it’s like to be arrested. It’s all very serious. Sort of. 🤔😆

Not anti-AI but am anti stealing writers and artists work to train AI to write in our style. Help ensure Meta is held to account by the UK government re US allegations that authors’ works have been used w/o permission/remuneration to train its AI model. change.org/p/protect-auth…

Thank you so much for coming!

Definitely one of my favourite interviews - with the incredible tess gerritsen at the British Library, the first stop on her UK tour. Huge thanks to Bee Rowlatt programmer extraordinaire🙏 Deadly was such a fantastic festival of women's crime writing - may there be many more!

I was horrified to find EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY BOOKS had been plundered without my consent by the Meta AI book thieves. It's a violation & is wrong in every way. Please support us by signing this The Society of Authors petition and get them to #DoTheWriteThing! change.org/p/protect-auth…

A long overdue post from me!!

For anyone who got a notification that I've written a dark romantasy trilogy (this is book 1)- I haven't. Please don't buy them. These books are AI generated & nothing to do with me. And yes, they look very similar to my books. 😡🤯
