It's me! An acquisitions book editor with a gift: Don't send your proposal over the winter break.
I know, I know, you'll have time. But we'll all come back to hundreds of them and it'll be super overwhelming and reading time will be compromised. Just hit us up in February! Or any other month!

I’ve curated an anthology called ‘The Rejection Palace’. I’ve dedicated it to my friend who died by suicide. It’s only the start of the rest of the work I can do to work towards saving the lives of others who are dancing with feelings of not being enough.
But it is a brilliant start.

In better understanding the amount of ex military men who have taken their life, we need to also understand a society they come back into where nothing changes. For them, everything changed.

Holiday Cards!
Do you have any like this??
These are from the last 3 years from my son.
Top left - 2024 - aged 10
Top right - 2023 - aged 9
Bottom - 2022 - aged 8
I celebrate these designs hugely because art is pretty much non existent in schools and I think my son is an awesome artist.

My Husband Dave and Stella the whippet.

Stella is our saving grace this year.
She was born on the day of my husband’s best mate’s funeral. He should still be here.
This beautiful puppy gave us a focus away from grief. A glimmer in the dark & the year took a different trajectory.

Frosted home… it’s inspiring me to bake a fruit cake, adorn it with marzipan and white icing and set tiny deer on top. ✨ ❄️
