Graduation is always a highlight. This was our first ever evening ceremony but was lovely to catch up with colleagues and see the students cross the stage.

Just finished Ceri's debut novel and it was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyable romance incorporating Christmas and archives. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cosy read this winter @cerihoulbrook.bsky.social

My new book is now available for pre-order. If it would be useful for your courses, please ask your library to request a copy *(it is very expensive so not sure anyone will be buying a personal copy)*

Sneaky first peek at the cover of my new book. I better hurry up with those proofs.

It's proofs time. So close to the end, although dreading the indexing portion of events. Wish me luck
