I regret to inform you all that yes, I have written another bloody book, and it's out in February from @daturabooks.bsky.social just in time for Valentines, and it is most definitely NOT a love story. Preorder it right away, I don't make the rules.

Last night I celebrated the UK launch of ITCH! in my beautiful city of Bristol, at Stanford's, a place I've haunted for years as a reader. Surreal and brilliant to be there as a published author and to speak in front of friends and family.

My son was in attendance, which meant everything to me. 🥰

@stanfordstravel.bsky.social this Thursday!
