UNSCRIPTED is upmarket fiction and would make a great book club pick. It’s a story of friendship, fame, and second chances with two love stories at its heart.

If any publishers out there are interested, please get in touch.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
