Right, here are some clues about the plot of my next novel, #OnTheEdge, which is set in South Devon. If you’re Welsh and grew up between 1979 and 1993, you’ll have an advantage! 🔥Announcement coming soon!😊

Attended a poetry event tonight (the first in 6 years!) celebrating International Women’s Day 2025, for the Shelley Memorial Project. So pleased to have purchased an anthology of the poetry too. Am looking forward to reading the poems again.
