Really enjoyed this - for those (like me) who were bereft when we left Ruth behind there’s a new gang to fall in love with. I can’t wait to revisit Ali and Dina and Bud and John in the next in the series 🥰
And I loved the combination of time travel and crime - added loads of intrigue and twists 🤓

The books I read in January 📖🥰📚
This has been a great reading month - not a single dud 🤓
My highlights were The Last Gifts of the Universe, Yeonnam-dong’s Smiley Landromat, and The Wild Robot 😍
These plus ebooks, I read 18 books in January 🥳

Working in on line edits for Martin and Stern three now (which I HATE) and Odie has refused to trade jobs - you’d think one day of me napping while he edits would be okay but NO 🤷🏻‍♀️

One edit done, onto the next 🤓
This was a quick structural edit and next up is a close line by line, which I HATE but it does make the writing sharper so has to be done 🫠

My fave quote from series three 😂

Just spotted a plot hole 😱
This is why editing again and again and AGAIN is necessary 😂

Frost Magazine asked me about my publishing journey, so of course I chatted a whole lot about rejection 😂

My writing day - slogging through some boring bits of edits in the company of a wonderful smelling candle and gloriously chocolate-y biscuits 🤓

Just recorded the outro for season one of the Rejected Writers’ Club - and feeling quite emotional 🥹
Thank you so much to everyone who has chatted with me and to everyone who listened 🧡
The final episode and outro go live on Saturday (the final episode is with someone EPIC) 🤓

Chums! I have a title for Martin and Stern book three 😍
I can’t tell you what it is yet, but it is PERFECT 🥳
December 2, 2024 at 10:05 AM
Very soggy dog walk this morning - Odie enjoyed playing in puddles and I enjoyed barely seeing anyone 😂

Have you listened to the Rejected Writers’ Club yet? (Link in my bio) 🤓
I hope these podcasts bring comfort and inspiration to writers struggling with rejection at any stage of their journey 🧡

Hello chums 🧡
I’m finally ready to fully embrace that Twitter has popped its clogs, so I’m going to be here as much as I can be ☺️
At the moment I’m waiting around for edits on Martin and Stern three, so enjoying lots of reading and rambling walks 🥰
November 22, 2024 at 1:58 PM
Please excuse me while I go and have a small cry 😭
Close to the Edge has a freaking window all to itself in my local Waterstones 🧡

New Rejected Writers’ Club episode 🥳
KJ Charles chats about her experiences of rejection, and how she self-published while waiting for traditional publishing trends to bend back her way - I found this chat really inspiring ☺️
Listen via the link in my bio 😘

Wandered off because I wanted to believe Twitter wasn’t so bad, but I’ve passed out of the denial stage now and I’M BACK 🤓
My big news is that the second book in the Martin and Stern series is coming out NEXT MONTH. Heck 😍
