I've been a bit of a bird brain recently. Watercolours are therapeutic (at least when they go well...).

I've been sitting on this news for a couple of months, but I can finally shout about it.
I've signed a contract for a non-fiction book about sailing which will be published in 2026 by Bloomsbury's nautical imprint, Adlard Coles. It will be illustrated with photos and my watercolour sketches.

I run my own blog tours, and am looking to sign up some new bloggers. I wont inundate you as i know bloggers are already overwhelmed generally. If you'd like to sign up, use this form...

Bit of good news today but I can’t shout about it until the contract is signed. Spoiler: it’s not crime writing this time.
