I took this photo 2 years ago in Kalamata, Greece & it’s still one of the most spectacular sunsets I’ve seen. I’d just started working on book 2 while there & now I’m finishing up my publisher’s edits 💜 Happy Friday everyone! 🩵🌊

It’s here!!! Amazed, happy & emotional to find a proof copy of my debut novel THE SEA CHILD on my doorstep! I have dreamed of the moment I’d get to hold a book I wrote since I was a little girl. Absolutely wild that this moment has come! Out with Simon & Schuster UK on Feb. 12 🩵

Lovely summer skies on our walk today ☀️ I spent the morning working on book 3 & the afternoon hanging out with the kids who are still enjoying their summer break. Keep getting distracted by my current read—Fourth Wind (yes! 🤗). Have a great weekend everyone!

Caught this family of swans on the lake, with no less than 6 young ones! 🦢 Doing some editing today but hoping to get out for a walk again later if it isn’t raining by then. For now I must have more coffee ☕️😂 Hope you are having a lovely Sunday morning!

Enchanting cloudscape on our walk last evening 🩵 I spent most of the weekend writing - that lovely last stretch of a book where it goes fast! Wishing you a great start to the week ☀️

Look what arrived 😍 One of my favourite reads of the year, The Secrets of Harbour House by @lizfenwick.bsky.social is a feast of a story, full of love, heartbreak, grief and the importance of women’s art set in Cornwall & Venice ❤️❤️❤️
#amreading #writingcommunity #authorlife #cornwall
We got back from Venice last night and the city is still singing in my head 🇮🇹 This gorgeous display of books about the sea is at bookshop Studium! I’m dreaming of the day my debut The Sea Child might be featured in such wonderful company 🌊
#bookshop #venice #writingcommunity
Piazza San Marco, Venice last night. Watching dusk fold over the lagoon was one of the highlight of our trip so far 🌅 After a quick break at our hotel just now, we are now off to what will no doubt be another highlight: bookshops! 📚
#authorlife #venice #piazzasanmarco
More gorgeous Venice 🇮🇹 Isabel, the main character in my debut novel The Sea Child would love this place with the lagoon and myriad of canals, not to mention the sense of magic I feel is such a part of this city 🌊🌊🌊

Nevermind the windblown hair, this is the face of someone who has just arrived in Venice! Lots of photos to come! Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend ☀️
