Shout out to this book I edited, now available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc. It’s a biography of the Scottish rock star Frankie Miller written by his friend Davy Arthur; it’s full of atmosphere, enthusiasm and personal detail. #booksky

I was in the middle of cooking when it hit me how to resolve my chapter. Had to leave everything bubbling and run to note it down… the best ideas always come when you’re doing something else! #writingcommunity

No, I don’t use AI. I write because I love writing, not because I want to churn out books. I love creating worlds, people, imaginary lives… writing fiction is one of the greatest joys of my life. Even if no-one read a word of it, I’d still write. #writingcommunity #authorlife

It’s not too late! For the month of September I’m offering free editing - I’ll edit the first 1000 words of your book for free, tightening up your prose and offering suggestions to improve your all-important opening lines.

Really enjoying this. I didn’t like Cold Comfort Farm when I had to read it at school, but I appreciate Stella Gibbons’ writing much more as an adult. I think it kills books if you read them too young #amreading

Went a bit mad at the library! I could barely carry this lot home…

It’s nearly ten years since my first novel, Red Blue Green, was published! Feel old now… It’s out of print but still available on kindle for about a fiver. #booksky #comingofagestory #books

“She was the one continuous cord in my life, the dingy that carried me along, the one thing that was always there when everything else was lost or crushed or left behind. I hated her.”

I love living within walking distance of the library. I can skip home with a bundle of #books in my arms like it’s the 1950s or something. #booksky #amreading #bookworm #writingcommunity

Anyone else still write their first draft in ink or am I the only weirdo?😄 #writing #writingcommunity

My publisher has sent me the first copy of my book…I was so nervous it’s taken me all day to muster the courage to unwrap it 😆 but it looks great! #booksky #author #writing

The cover design for my new novel! It’s about a mother/daughter relationship, and I love the big shadowy mother looming large… Released 26 June on Portland Press. #booksky #author #writing

The man who invented the Champions League… I recently edited the autobiography of UEFA president Lennart Johansson - a frank and fascinating book. He was a genuine champion of grassroots football.
