It's been out a year, read by over a hundred people, but while converting Jack & Jill to a TV Script I've noticed a typo, getting my main character's name wrong. I will spend a week in writer penance for this. Forgive me.

On release day I always breathe a sigh of relief before diving back into the next project. One little Faux Pas is available. If you're after a cosy, funny dark comedy thriller with retirees as the MCs with vibes of One Foot in the Grave... I've got your back

I'm so fed up with waiting for my books to magically appear on TV, I'm turning Jack & Jill into a TV script. It might be a woke and raunchy for the BBC, plus it calls out their transphobia, so I'll send it to Channel 4 🤣

I recently got back into song writing and I decided to create one for my next book...

Here's a little song about 1995 to raise interest in my book set then.

My next book is on my mind.
1. The last London book
2. The third Louise Sargant book
3. A sci-fi thriller about precogs
4. A zombie thriller
5. A gothic ghost story
Hmm... Choices choices.

I can sit back and relax for a little while. Faux Pas is with my editor for the final proof before I start looking for ARC readers. I will spend the next 3 weeks trying to write a blurb. The hard bit 🤣

Today it's snowing. So, with "Do you want to build a snowman?" echoing around my head, I've snuggled under a blanket and cracked on with editing. It's almost ready to pass to my editor, finally. She's been bugging me for it since last year

I've been struggling to identify all the squares with traffic lights, slide the picture complete or even tick that little box. I'm worried I may be a robot.

Anybody else leave cookies, carrots and milk it for the Amazon delivery people at Christmas?
No? Just me then.
