So great to chat on @theconversation.bsky.social with @nadinematheson.com
We talked about those moments in life that offer up inspiration to novelists, the motivation behind my debut novel, THE FAMILY AT NO.23 and why reading and writing psychological fiction is so enjoyable and satisfying.

Unsolicited writing advice from someone who's just regained their writing mojo:
Stop worrying about the market. Just write something you think is fascinating.
If you can, distance yourself from people who sap your confidence about your writing and yourself.
Celebrate every achievement.

I recorded my first podcast interview with @susiesbookreviews.bsky.social for her new show In My Good Books. Susie was so easy to chat to and we discussed my debut novel, themes of motherhood, life envy and houses as characters in their own right. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

I did love it! More fantastic psych suspense by @kathrynsharman@bsky.social coming your way some time next year. It’s extremely satisfying when book 2 is just as good as book 1. #TheFamilyatNo.23 #Notsurewhatbook2iscalledyet
