Wowser! My book is available to pre-order on the actual Waterstones website. This is real 😭
Who'd've thunk it when I was a 10yo girl scribbling in notebooks dreaming of being a novelist?
The MOST wonderful things you can do for a writer are pre-order the book and help spread the word 🙏📚💕

Read a brilliantly nerdy stat that the three Traitors were the only #CelebrityTraitors contestants whose ages were square numbers: Jonathan Ross - 64 (8x8), Alan Carr - 49 (7x7), Cat Burns - 25 (5x5)🤔

On Wednesday at 5pm I'll be chatting live with Surekha Davies and Karen Storey about their superb books, Humans: A Monstrous History and The Approval of Sheep. If you join us in real time, you'll be able to interact and ask questions too.I LOVE that we're starting with these two writers - who's work is so different on the face of things. We're a group of authors supporting each other to find readers, and across our cohort there is a HUGE range of subject matter and genre, across both fiction and non-fiction. We are wholeheartedly embracing this variety. We’re posing a gentle challenge to the idea that readers like to stick to one genre or type of book - and Surekha and Karen's work really epitomises this. We know almost no one who reads like this - do you?#ReadingRecommendations #LiveChat #AuthorLife #AuthorChat #JoinUsView all comments

Someone talking about Tim Minchin reminded me how misunderstood Matlida often is. It's Carrie with more books. It's a revenge fantasy. It embraces the cruelty of children in response to cruelty TO children. And that's why it's great. A power fantasy where you can be as much of a dick as adults are.

It's #spookyseason or #monstertober! Everything is a horror show but some stories about monsters are charming and escapist, or at least weird and ancient. ICYMI, here's an essay from me about some of the theories about monsters in the ancient Mediterranean.
