'Oof, I could have handled that better'

If only someone could teach us how to have difficult conversations. Give us some guidelines or something...
Luckily they can!

When I was writing my book I sought the expertise of Cath Brown to contribute to a chapter. (1/2)

If you've been meaning to buy my book for a while, it seems to be HALF PRICE on Amazon. I have no control over the pricing of it and, while I MUCH PREFER indy booksellers, I'd encourage you to save a tenner... then spend the £10 at an independent bookshop obvs 💕

Created the retreat I'd like for myself: gentle yoga, lots of writing time, cosy chats with authors over hot chocolate. Warm pastries & bookshop visits. Did I mention it's in a CASTLE! Did I mention it's in the book town of Hay-on-Wye? Nestle with me...
