I've been quiet on social media recently but thought I'd hop on today to introduce myself. I research cybercrime & economic crime by day & write literary-ish fiction (often with a supernatural twist) by night. Here's a picture of my debut novel looking gorgeous. 💙💙💙 #books #writers #literaryfiction

Please do keep sharing and telling people! Some beautiful work so far but numbers are much smaller than in 2022. #carers #writingcommunity 💙📚
In 2022 I launched a new literary prize for writer-carers (UK & ROI), the #Curae award. A wealth of wonderful prizes from across industry, publication and many entries. The second prize opened 1/02/25 and so far we have far fewer entries. There are around 7million unpaid carers: industry PLEASE help

Post you from a different era. Circa 1986 and 1992 respectively. I thought I was hideously fat and no, that was not a perm 😂

The Hollow Sea in somewhat stellar company on this table in Portsmouth Waterstones recently. Seeing my little book alongside literary luminaries has been one of my favourite parts of publishing. If you see The Hollow Sea out in the wild please take a photo for me 💙💙💙
