I’m running a crime panel NEXT MONDAY as part of the Hastings Book Festival (under my pen name @kjlyttleton) and I’d love you to come. Me, @cathrynkemp and Chris Bridges talking crime and answering questions

I've written about how important March is for making changes. Everyone should be hibernating in January. You should be in goblin mode, not attempting goblin squats.

Today’s newsletter is a from a silly course that turned into a sitcom pilot that got me shortlisted for a Funny Women award that got me a screenwriting agent. So if you’re ever wondering if it’s ok to be distracted by a silly side project, just remember what it might lead to!

My book is out in just a few days! It’s a very silly book and I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Can I just highly recommend these books by @kjlyttleton if you’re looking for funny crime fiction summer reads. I should probably mention that I am KJ Lyttleton, but don’t let my massive bias put you off giving them a try
