Don’t tell me I don’t take my book marketing seriously . . .

What the last 5 years has truly been building towards - making sure my debut cover matched the table and drinks at publication day celebratory lunch #paperback #alleyesonyou #matchymatchy

Wrote a book about a messy millennial cop who is absolutely fine & not at all having a meltdown while navigating the most high profile case of her career. Wanna see if she can get her shit together before someone ends up dead? Paperback out 27th March (this copy is Maggie’s)

IT’S PUBLICATION DAY! Almost 5 years ago, Fleabag-esque DS Alice Washington forced her way into my brain, and today, she’s working her way into peoples’ eye & ear holes as ALL EYES ON YOU comes out in e-book&audiobook! 📖 Paperback available to pre-order, publishing 27th March

How lovely to see All Eyes on You amongst some cracking new releases! Less than 24 hours until e-book and audio release, 53 days until paperback (not that I’m counting 👀)

👀 A sneaky peak of what you can expect if you read my debut, ALL EYES ON YOU 👀 👇🏻

Eeeeek she’s here!! ⬇️ My debut novel ALL EYES ON YOU is available to pre-order! Like the sound of Fleabag meets Happy Valley? Love your stories with dark twists and turns? Need a new paperweight or doorstop? Get yourselves to the link in my bio, GO, GO, GO!!

Big fan of being old and peculier. Had an absolute blast at my first ever #TheakstonsCrime @HarrogateFest. Can we just cut to July 2025 so we can do it all again? (Time travel to commence after I’ve had a snooze because I’m fucking knackered.)

Baby’s first Harrogate! So excited to nervously lurk around people I admire but am too scared to talk to like a bookish peeping Tom 👀 📚 #TheakstonsCrime #harrogate

So many excellent author panels @beyondbookfest today.👏🏻 👏🏻 📚

The beauty of letting yourself write a shitty 1st draft is that you can kill someone off in chapter 33, realise in chapter 34 you need them, then bring them back from the dead like it never happened in chapter 35. (Best of luck with the edit future self 😬)

The best editing note I’ve ever left myself: “Chapter 48: Take out ‘Tosser’ - used it twice.” Got that 2025 Booker Prize on lock.

Really recommend entering this ⬇️ Every single entry gets feedback, something I haven’t come across with any other competition. I’ve submitted the last 2 years and something✨ VERY✨exciting is happening with the first book I entered. Run, don’t walk!
