We were at Silverburn yesterday and my mum was delighted when she spotted Brodie in the wild. Then we met a lovely @waterstones.bsky.social bookseller who asked me to sign it. #happymum #happyauthor 💛

What better time to do a Waterstones book signing than on the eve of 'Westerwick's first birthday!
Get your signed copies of this, and my debut, 'The Girl,The Crow, The Writer and The Fighter', while stock lasts.

Or while stocks last.

I'm easy.

We’ve had two stints living in St Pete (hence sunshinescot) and one of my favourite places to go when we’re back for a visit is the Dali Museum, so I’m very jealous of Brodie. #BrodieOnTour #BrodieInTheSunshineState
