✨🖤✨My name is Estella; it means “star”. I was named in the hope I would be a light to guide my adoptive mother out of the emotional blackness that enveloped her. Instead, I have become something far darker than any night.✨🖤✨

Happy publication day @suemoorcroftauthor.bsky.social !

Headline - Nick Clegg: Artists’ demands over copyright are unworkable Strap - The former Meta executive claims that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would ‘kill’ the industry.

Why is it that artists’ demands are ‘unworkable’, when these are the same conditions that have been around since the development of copyright, but the new data churning technology is NOT considered ‘unworkable’ even though it can’t be created without breaches of copyright on an unprecedented scale?

✨✨✨Make me an offer I can’t refuse! ✨✨✨
I'm selling this UNIQUE copy of Estella’s Revenge so…I’m open to offers!

✨I hand painted the page edges with a design inspired by the amazing cover artwork.

✨✨There’s only one of these in the whole world! Comment or send a DM if you’re interested!✨✨

Read like nobody’s watching… Okay, so I’ve done that thing where I’ve read a gazillion books, but have neglected to review them as soon as I’ve read them. Consequently, what follows is a bite sized round up o…

“As a patchy reader of historical crime fiction, I am thrilled to say that I loved this one [Estella's Revenge], and it has earnt its place in the bookcase devoted to books I will read again. There’s no higher praise that that. Highly recommended.“ Thank you @ravencrime.bsky.social

I literally have no idea how many books I read a year. Fewer than I would like - but I suspect that would be the case even if I spent all of every single day reading (ah, to live that dream!)

For those that have been asking - the paperback is out today! Will you let my book choose you?
