Nothing so unusual about this spam email I received - except the level of detail & that ‘Linda’, who writes from a gmail address, gives no details beyond her surname and a job title, ‘book promoter’. No website, no client testimonials, no business address.

A bot, surely? This is getting FREAKY.

I’ll be there with my poetry books and chairing a panel on ‘Challenges authors face (and the advice you wish you’d had)’

Tom Lehrer was a genius. RIP. I'm one of the multitude who appreciated his creative generosity. I'm sharing this poem from my book Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions: Short Poems from Long Covid, in grateful tribute.

Are you as nosy as me? Do you need some holiday reading inspiration?

I love to know what other people read when they've stepped away from daily life!

HAPPY IS THE ONE is popular, @katieallenauthor.bsky.social ! They're having to buy in more copies to the library ⭐️. Looking forward to reading it when my turn comes.

I also loved visiting the @poetrypharmacy.bsky.social flagship store this weekend – and seeing my book on display in the window! The shop is just as (even more) fabulous on the inside. #poetry #booksky

The Poetry Pharmacy Events Space is a really wonderful place to give a workshop – as I discovered on Sunday! Every wall boasts Clae Eastgate's stunning portraits of female poets. Very inspiring. #blueskyart #poetry

Getting over Long Covid was hard. Writing & publishing poetry has been a big part of my journey through that experience.

My new book is out today. A follow-up to Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions. It's for anyone who feels anything – especially if you need cheering up. amzn.eu/d/5bQF2Jh

Sometimes I worry I sound tone deaf posting about my little book given everything that’s going on in the world right now.

But I also know how essential I find reading & writing for being able to cope. Seeing Poetry for Loving Life billed as a hot new release in this company is🔥💖🔥 amzn.eu/d/etOpCeh

I've discovered lately that lots of people don't read ebooks – even people who read online via social media. Ebooks are fantastic, especially for poetry. They're usually cheaper than print books too.

I've written an absolute beginner's guide to getting started, here: therightword.co.uk/resources

I published my first book a year ago - and two weeks today my NEW book comes out! I’m so excited (and nervous…!)

It’s poetry for anyone who needs a boost (everyone?)
