Opened my emails this morning to find this message from a client. She'd also given me £100 extra as a thank you.
I love my job, and writers are the best!
(If you're writing a novel, I'm always happy to do a sample edit so you can check out my work. See my website for details helenafairfax.com)

Earlier this week I was at a brilliant event at Shipley Library with author Olivia Potts, about her book on grief and patisseries, A Half-Baked Idea.
The event was free, with tea and mouthwatering buns provided by a local bakery. How lucky we are to have free local libraries! ♥️🥰📚

Today Max met up with his bossy older brother Angus, of the cute eyebrows. (Max is telling me 'Don't let him get my football...')

It's lovely to see so many people giving copies of our anthology to their loved ones. No 1 in 'Gifted Romance'! Miss Moonshine is still weaving her magic ✨💜
