Seems like working-class voices need to be heard more than ever... so please see my project over on Substack. I'm writing my novel weekly, with notes to go with each episode. 20+ working-class characters. It's a labour of love.

Today's good news,

Louise has decided to reissue #MrsNarwhal'sDiary

Loved this book. Funny, touching, and I could relate to all the very real characters. It definitely deserves to be better known.
Signed copies of Mrs Narwhal's Diary by SJ Norbury are now available at my website. Beautiful book inside and out. You don't often see the sister-in-law relationship in fiction, and it's sensitively explored in this novel... please share!

My weekly novel episodes and novel notes are back. I had a seven week break during which my dad passed away. My novel notes this week are about loss, creativity, and writing. I’m muddling through. What else is to be done?

Pleased to say I'm continuing my novel on S**stack this Wednesday. I took a six-week break due to my dad getting ill and passing away. This morning I finished the next episode. I find I have a new relationship with this novel... which I'll explore in this week's novel notes x

One of the best novels you haven't yet read is on #KindleUnlimited at the moment! Mrs Narwhal's Diary by SJ Norbury is charming, funny, and heartwarming, exploring beautifully a tender sister-in-law relationship...

Can't believe I'm saying this, but it's Publication Day! #wildmoonrising is officially out in there in the wild... I'm a writer a little lost for words, to be honest - I'm stunned, proud, slightly terrified and a whole lot happy. This took A LOT of years, so I hope it inspires you, too x

I definitely recommend checking out this gorgeous novella. Dreamy, glamorous, and very sad. Plus, you get to support an indie!

If you are able, please do support Indy bookshops.

The near monopoly of an online giant is skewering the industry.

Without Indies, we simply wouldn't be here.
