I'll be at #IpswichBookFestival talking about my prize-listed novel, #TheLowRoad @eyebooks.bsky.social, based on a true story from my East Anglian hometown. It tells the story of a Norfolk girl transported to Australia as a convict and is a tale of love, grief, betrayal - and solidarity. #Convicts

A short post about the questions that I think #Boundless or #Unbound should answer about the huge debts it has left authors with - and what happens next, with questions about #AI and other ethics issues. Link in my bio.

The letter the company sent us was extremely self-pitying - a masterclass in how not to handle people you owe hundreds of thousands of pounds to, imo...

I'm not a believer in cancel culture, but I do think accountability and transparency matter. Take a bow, the publisher formerly known as Unbound, now Boundless, for yet again defaulting on the debts to us authors - they owe us over half a million. Extract from the latest missive below 1/

Delighted to share that I am on the shortlist for the New Angle Prize for Literature 2025. The Low Road takes a true story from my Norfolk hometown about an orphan girl who was transported to Australia. My publisher, Unbound, has gone bust, so if you want to buy my book, please contact me.
