My author headshot for THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL, out April 2025. Being photographed is one of my least favourite activities, so a huge thank you to my very patient son, Lucas, for making the process enjoyable (for me, anyway!)

A powerful story of self-discovery, NEPHTHYS deftly weaves Egyptian symbology with Victorian beliefs. The prose was so beautifully descriptive that I could imagine myself drifting down the Nile with Clemmie & her companions. A joy of a book to read. Thank you @rachloudriscoll.bsky.social

My gorgeous proofs have arrived!!! The colours!! The foil!! I’m thrilled beyond words! Thanks so so much to everyone at @michaeljbooks.bsky.social You’ve done THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL proud. I need a little lie-down now to recover from the excitement.

Post-apocalyptic books/TV/films are a favourite of mine, and THE STRANDING is a masterclass in how it should be done. Literary, breathtakingly gorgeous, poignant, this book is a very special read. Thank you @katesawyer.bsky.social

Loving everyone’s introductory posts on here, so here’s some info on me. After all sorts of unrelated jobs - accountant, therapist, doggy daycare owner - I finally found my true vocation of author during lockdown, & my debut publishes in 2025. I also love afternoon tea, dancing & interior design.

Exciting week signing the German rights contract for THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL with Droemer Knaur (who also publish Kimberly McCreight, Emily Henry, Matt Haig, Diana Gabaldon). What better way to celebrate than with my absolute favourite sweet treat, chocolate Lebkuchen hearts. 🥳♥️

An all-female circus act set in the world of Edwardian fairgrounds - what an amazing premise! THE SHOW WOMAN is beautifully written, packed with unexpected twists, & is as enthralling as the spectacular circus act that @emmacowing.bsky.social describes. Out May 2025.

What a STUNNING proof!! The story of 4 women at Oxford Uni in 1920, THE EIGHTS by @joannamillerauthor.bsky.social is as gorgeous inside. With exquisite writing & nuanced characters, the novel explores trauma, evoking emotion without tipping into the mawkish. This will be a MASSIVE hit in 2025.

An enchanting carousel is linked to a series of unfathomable disappearances in a darkly glittering story of grief, obsession, revenge and enduring love. THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL is out in April 2025. Preorder here www.penguin.co.uk/books/462582...
