I am now open to queries for the rest of February in every genre/age range I represent. So if you fit my list (avoid the subjects I state I don't want), and would like to query me, please do so.
Happy to answer any questions below.

Finished my rewrite of my bridesmaid thriller today. It's taken me months to redo, so glad I got a bit of peace today to finish it off.

I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
As I get older I've realised magic is what you make it. But going to @blenheimpalace.bsky.social and seeing the Neverland exhibition WAS magic.

Despite being organised enough to get my cat an advent calendar, I hadn't got one for myself until today, where the only one I could find was a Lidnt one. Why do all the calenders disappear so fast?!
