Little intro post to say hi! I'm a writer whose debut is out in 2025! These Mortal Bodies is described as The Secret History meets The Crucible - think secret societies, feminine obsession and friendships that are oh so close. Always love connecting w other writers and readers #writingcommunity
London #BookSky people I'm doing an event with two other great authors for Disability History Month and it would be amazing to see some of you there! It's at the Common Press and tickets are from free - I think this is such an important conversation.
