Ok, this was brilliant! Gripping and original. Augmented explores climate change, inequality, technology, survival, the “system” and the fight against it. #KidLitUK @faberchildrens.bsky.social

VERY excited to get my hands on a review copy of Kenechi Udogu’s Imagined Futures Prize-winning debut YA - AUGMENTED. It’s a dystopian eco sci fi novel and it sounds amazing. Out in June 2025! @faberbooks.bsky.social

What a week to have a book out about political corruption and powerful, abusive men! At least in my novel they get their comeuppance.

My first Anna Sharpe thriller. Out today in all formats in the UK, and in eBook and audio in the US.
