Little trip to the @londonreview.bsky.social bookshop yesterday - what a beautifully curated selection of books. I came away with Doppelgänger by @naomiaklein.bsky.social which I have been meaning to read for ages plus some great books for my teens.

Baxter has adopted one of the old teddies my son was given when he was a frequent visitor to children’s A&E with severe croup. Touch wood we are over those days but feel for those parents with little ones there this winter.

Spotted on the bookshelf of one of my very favourite bookshops Much Ado Books in Alfriston - my book next to that of a much more famous local author 😍

So thrilled to announce the publication of my first novel.
The Binding Spell is a young adult contemporary fantasy, full of dark academia, folk horror and the supernatural. In 2023 it won the Times/Chicken House competition. It will be published by Chicken House on 8 May 2025

I love that at my book group the other night one of my friends said she’d found a trowel on a bench on the South Downs near us and thought I’d planted it there as marketing for my book. (I hadn’t) 😂

This is the time of day when Baxter starts stealing laundry to exchange for food. In other news he rolled in copious amounts of rotting cut grass on his wall today and smells like an absolute drain.

Just going through the first proofs of book two in the Woolf & Bell Mysteries and thinking how much better it reads for a couple of rounds of structural edits, a copy edit and a thorough proof read. It really does take if not a village then a hamlet to publish a book.

Having been a huge fan of @katemossewriter.bsky.social ever since reading Labyrinth nearly 20 years ago, and all of her subsequent books, I’m feeling rather bereft now that I’ve finished The Map of Bones - the final instalment in the Joubert Chronicles. Hope you’re planning a new series Kate 🥰

Baxter loves his walks but when it’s time to put his harness on his poodle brain says ‘let’s hide under the table’.

Last month I had the privilege of visiting the Queen Oak - more than a thousand years old - at a secret location in High Park at Blenheim Palace. Home to a myriad of wildlife. Read my piece about this tree and other oaks in this month’s edition of The Lady magazine.
