Also, I can’t recommend FINDING PHOEBE enough. Amanda @halfwayupbooks.bsky.social suggested it and my whole family adored it.

It’s the perfect grey morning to cheat on my 💩 adult novel with a sneaky little teen spy mystery. I know! I know! I shouldn’t but when the idea is brewing… 🫠

I keep telling myself that it’s out of my system and I can move on. Stay tuned…

Day one, Tyrone Guthrie. 5K words written. 5km run in freezing temps. Current relationship with adult novel is iffy. Not loving it, but have to embrace the 💩first draft!

If you need me this week, I’ll be working on my first adult murder mystery novel in this perfect room in the middle of nowhere. Wish me luck!

PS - There’s nowhere better than Tyrone Guthrie Centre, am I right?

First up for my unofficial #bookelves2024 duty is a book I read recently and really enjoyed. LOVER BIRDS is an unconventional 🏳️‍🌈 love story with ND rep. A great punchy YA rom-com.

Does anyone else do this? I put my book on the shelf next to my fav reads and writer pals’ books. It makes me feel like I’m with my friends but also in a cool, elite shelf of fantastic stories.

That pathetic look you get when you know you have to do something no one wants to do (go back to the vet for a bandage change). 🥴

Hello friends! I’m a YA author, #kidlit fan, and 🇺🇸 transplant living in 🇮🇪. Still trying to navigate this sky thingy, but glad to meet fellow writers, readers, reviewers, booksellers, teachers and librarians! 👋👋
