Great moments in the life of my first novel in English, The Golden Key (Titan, 2020), author's edition:
💙The Golden Key getting a cute advert on the London Tube 😮.
💙The librarians from the Modern Languages Faculty Library at Cambridge gifting me a cake on publication.

My #dailywalk has changed a little... I love walking by the river Cam, close to my house. But this is also home now, and the grounds are spectacular 💚

Post you from another era.
Iceland, 2006. Pic by James Womack. We had been married for about a month. James was in Reykjavik with a "genius" grant for polyglots to learn Icelandic in a year, I stayed at Oxford, but visited.

Starting a new library job and the half term holidays means that I haven't had my usual mornings @plurabellebooks.com for a couple of weeks. God I have missed this place.

Just finished this. What a f***ing masterpiece. Threads of Peake, and Cisco, perhaps? But absolutely it's own thing. We only get a handful of writers this good in our timelines, everyone interested in Weird fic needs to read @hironennes.bsky.social now. My review hopefully soonish in a mag near you.

Delighted to share that I am now working at @girtoncollege.bsky.social Library. This is pretty much #goals / #dreamjob: a beautiful library & a place with an incredible sense of community and history. Yes! Those beautiful grounds are my new digs!

Book post is the absolute best post! I've really been looking forward to these two ones arriving! @mcflycahill90.bsky.social & @hironennes.bsky.social are not just two writers I deeply admire, but also that I am proud to call my friends. In short, absolutely cannot wait to cuddle up with these two 😍

Wisteria didn't sprout much last year but this year is in bloom! I think it's the first time since we are here that we have pruned it correctly. I'd like to see this as a sign of good things to come. 🌸
