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

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!

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...

Paperback copy of Mrs Narwhal's Diary by SJ Norbury with pink flowers and foliage on cover and for real in the photo. Very pretty and fresh-looking. This book is also available as an audio book.

My latest novel is serialised every Wednesday in 2025. #ownvoices authenticity. I am #workingclass and my novel is inspired by my family, my background, my life.

Page from my notebook showing planning for my novel The White Feather. Very scruffy, lots of crossing out.

I got my PLR statement! Always a boost. My first novel still earns the most (Hodder 2014). Novels 2 & 3, self-published in 2017 & 2018, are second & third (and not far behind the first!) But I'm most pleased by my 2022 self-published novella The Hermit, with 30 loans. This means SO MUCH!
