We are so excited to announce that Mirror Books are publishing the story of how the Mincefluencers found Hester 🫡 It’s coming your way June 5th this year and you can preorder now!

Preorder links for Waterstones, Amazon and WHSmiths can be found here: linktr.ee/ErinEdwardsWrites
URGENT MEMO RE: FINDING HESTER In 1943, Hester Leggatt wrote a pair of fake love letters as part of a decoy mission that helped change the course of World War Two. She spent the next eighty years, like so many other women working behind the scenes, lost to history. In 2023, a group of fans of newly opened West End musical ‘Operation Mincemeat’ were inspired by its message of doing something useful. Hester, now a character in the show, deserved to have her real story known. Scouring archival documents, reaching out to MI5, tracking down living family members, and using her wartime diaries and real love letters, the team found so much more than they ever expected. FINDING HESTER tells both the story of Hester Leggatt and the people who found her. The book will be published on June 5th 2025 by Mirror Books. It is available for preorder now.

What if Georgiana Darcy and Kitty Bennet were teen lesbians? What if the man who almost ruined Georgiana's reputation last time is back?? Can Georgiana protect her family name and find a safe future for her and Kitty??? Out April in US/CAN.

Not just one for Operation Mincemeat fans. This whole journey to uncovering Hester is truly one of the power of archives, community and honouring those with lesser known histories who contributed so much. God that’s brilliant.

For the past few years I’ve been dedicating my all-important birthday wish to hoping it’ll be the year I get an agent. I must have wished extra hard last year because not only did I end up with an incredible agent, I am SO excited that I can spend my birthday announcing this!

I love a good nonfiction read but they usually take me longer to get through than fiction. This one, though, I’m flying through! It’s incredibly compelling.

I got an advent calendar where you get a little book ornament every day, and I’m planning on putting them all on the little tree in my office and a) THERE ARE TINY WORDS IN THE LITTLE BOOKS, and b) 10/10 book choice for day one
