Unsolicited writing advice, no. 430: Read. Read widely. Read what you love, and what you don't. Read what you know, and what you don't yet know. The wider your reading, the better your chance of avoiding the limitations of being influenced by only one author, one genre, one culture, one time.

Very happy to introduce Miss Josephine Fairfax and Lord Alistair Huntingly! 📚💫
I’ve just returned copy-edits for The Proposition of the Season, aka Jospehine’s story, and used this new moodboard a lot while drafting and editing. It captures Jo’s world…

#Amediting Jospehine’s story coming Feb ‘26 and there *might just be a scene in a orangery and Josephine *might just be wearing the dress below .. I love this part of the process when a story starts to find its own path - which part of the writing process do you like most? ✨

Bookshops really are portals to other worlds so as it’s #nationalbookshopday this weekend I’m celebrating all the local bookshops who’ve been supportive of my Fairfax Sisters series. Huge thanks for all the shelfies, I can’t wait for Josephine to join them in Feb ‘26! 📚✨
