I’m going to be sending out my next newsletter on Thursday (if all goes to plan). If you’d like exclusive behind-the-scenes information about my books, sign up here: eepurl.com/ihL_Fz For those that don’t, the cat is judging you 🤣

A new all-time low. But not literally of course

Just when I thought having a bad back couldn’t get any worse, a stranger insisted on tying up my shoelaces when they came undone in the supermarket and I explained why I couldn’t bend down to do them myself 😳

The cover of A Wedding for the Bomber Girls is set against a background of rosebuds, looking a bit like a wedding invitation card. The text beside the cover says: "You are invited to a wartime wedding". There's a 99p sticker superimposed over the bottom left-hand corner of the book cover.

Bargain alert! A Wedding for the Bomber Girls has been selected for a Kindle seasonal deal. You’ll be able to download it for just 99p for a limited time. Can Thea help her sister’s wedding go without a hitch or will her past come back and ruin everything? Mybook.to/WedBG

Marvelous

I love the symmetry of today’s attempt!

Exciting!

🇬🇷🇬🇷 Last week I spent a wonderful 5 days in Crete on a research trip for novel six. My blog post this week (part 1) gives you an insight into what I found out and did while there. 👏👏👏 to daughter, Jo, for being a superb tour guide and chauffeur. 🇬🇷🇬🇷

It was a great day! It was at Wroxeter, so the perfect place to be Roman for the day 🏺

I did a Roman cookery course a few years ago and used a mortarium. They’re surprisingly effective! Looking forward to the book.

Congratulations 🥳

With all that’s going on in the world, I’m trying to find a moment of joy every day. This was today’s. Last time I walked past this tree there were just two blossoms open. Now it’s covered 🤍

Great to see you here!

I wasn’t quick enough to photograph a nuthatch that perched beside me on yesterday’s birthday outing but this robin stayed on its branch long enough for me to snap it. It was singing its little heart out 🎶

Beautiful birthday walk at Attingham Park to see the snowdrops 🤍
