Today I told a former friend who lives in France that I didn’t want to catch up when they come to NZ in January because I unfriended his wife for posting her support of the great replacement theory. He said he didn’t know what that was and would chat to her. #amIamarriagewrecker

In the fruit and veg shop today, an elderly Italian man, dapper in braces, lecturing two women waiting in line about how "People in this country know NOTHING! The artichoke has been used in Italian cuisine for CENTURIES!' He was buying an ice cream. I will never know who brought up artichokes

New novella up for pre-order. Slow-burn friends to lovers mid-spice rom-com, in the Miss Lovelock series. Trying a different tone with this one, less of the mildly bonkers external plot-line, more focus on the characters (more grit, also more swearing). On the Amazons and Kindle Unlimited. #romcoms
