And there are many more reasons to get those pre-orders in and support an indie author! But in keeping with the title, I am listing my favourite 6.
Here's the link if you fancy a Bank Holiday Monday treat (that you can read next Friday!)

6) There's a powerful feminist message at the heart of this story. It's not just chick-lit and spice! 💪🏼
5) It's set in Bath, and (in my head) I've turned the basement of my former publishing co into an underground cocktail bar called... The Bubble Bath. This place seriously needs to be developed in real life! OMG. It is sooooo cool. 🛀🏽
2) The cricket in this book is T-20. Fast-paced, action-packed, exciting, and full of hotties like our MMC. 🏏
1) It's not all about cricket! This is an angsty opposites attract romance featuring a working class girl you will fall head over heels for, LOLA... and the sweetest cinnamon roll toff, MONTY. He can't help it that his parents are like something out of Jilly Cooper's Rivals, can he? ❤️
Next week!!! 🎉🏏🎉
I am SO excited to bring a whole new series into the world 🥰
Look, I know cricket isn't everyone's cuppa so it was a risk to write something sports romance AND niche (on the other hand, since when have I ever played it safe🤣?)... but here are SIX reasons you will love HIT FOR SIX:
1st review in and I am thrilled with it!
Oh, Holly!!! Thank you SO much. I have only just seen this. Absolutely thrilled you enjoyed it. What a gorgeous review 😍 XX
Thank you!
My highest EVER ranking in the paid UK Kindle charts - 1026... with Canada and Germany not far behind.
AND a very delicious Jilly Cooper (workplace romance category) sandwich to go with it!
The power of a miniature viral TikTok video!
Amazing way to start February 🎉🎉🎉
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed my books this year, to everyone who has been a cheerleader. You have made all the difference during an extremely tough 12 months and I couldn't love you more! MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy 2025!

Happy birthday 🥳🍾🎉 to the wonderful #juliecaplin whose books I just so happened to spot in Malaga today (and might have re-positioned ever so slightly)! How gorgeous are these hardbacks of The Little Teashop in Tokyo 😍?
The reaction to my last post cracks me up. As I was saying...
I know, I KNOW. I need to interact more and tend to my Bluesky garden but, eugh. That requires too much energy and there are too many words to write in actual books. Well, in manuscript form, anyway.
Just going to say it... it's a bit boring here!
The writing of this book provided me with sheer escapism during what has been one of the toughest years for my family. On that basis, if you are looking to curl up and get lost in a Parisian saccharine snowstorm of will-they-won't-they, I highly recommend it ;-)

Okay, now the rejections have started. For some balance 🤣
SO looking forward to this (maybe not so much to being reminded of my own sleepless nights, lol). But what a fabulous idea for a thriller. Something that definitely doesn't get talked about anywhere near enough!
Congrats, Natali xx
Timely when i've just bought tickets to see Gypsy in Jan!
Thank you! I've been burned soooo many times, but yes, hopefully this one will be different! xx
It would make a refreshing change if it did! xx
*edit* and I can enlist the help of a great friend to help me write a synopsis! Think I really might have nailed it now for book 2 in this trilogy, though 🤣
Less than 24 hrs after subbing, I got a partial request from a dream agent! I know this means nothing, but I believe in celebrating the little wins. Logging this to remind myself that I can write a hooky first 3 chapters & synopsis, if nothing else 🤣. Now to stop fixating!
How can I be about to start book 17? 😱🤔
The opening scene is on one of these. That's the only clue you're getting!
A trio of festive gorgeousness! 🎄🎄🎄
All of my Christmas romcoms are just 99p/c each on Kindle until January 1st. Fill your stockings, curl up with a coca and get cosy!

Is it my imagination or has Bluesky suddenly reduced the amount of characters we can type? 🤔
Still waiting for the EDIT button, too...
Book 16 is out there with agents, so it's time to talk about the rest of my romcoms! On Jan 1st, my ebooks will go back to full price after a yr of being 99p/c. If you've not yet sampled my writing & your Jenga tower of a TBR list is intact, TREAT YOURSELF to some delicious & unique romances!
A big day of subbing ahead. I have worked my socks off on this swoony romcom! It's a slight departure from my Foodie Romances. Let's see what happens next...
PS. It's not about Glastonbury, that's my homely screensaver, but if the Tor and the cows want to bring me luck, I'm here for it!
Going to keep asking this until it happens... because this is an infinitely nicer place and my request goes hand in hand with that accolade: can we have an EDIT BUTTON, please, Bluesky?
