That looks awesome!

Romanantasy?

I took part in a fun thing and went head-to-head with RJ Bayley! Though really, it's worth watching for his rants alone.

It's time for another episode of Begone! This time it's a head to head as @trudieskies.readindiefantasy.com and @rjbayley.bsky.social battle to the grim, bloody death. Or air some minor grievances. You'll have to watch to find out...

Happy Book Release Day!

I forgot exactly what day it was releasing so was very pleased to see the email this morning telling me it is on my kindle today!

A picture of the city of Bath with me in the background (sized very large compared to the city) and holding up my books. Text overlaid on the image that says "I'm going to be at Bath this weekend! (I will be regular sized) Come and find me at the Literary Escape Festival! Saturday 21 March, Percy Community Centre, 10am - 2.30pm

The same image of the city of Bath. I am supersized in the background and this time my book covers float in the sky beside me. Text overlaid on the image says 'Tickets are still available and I'd love to see you there and chat! Saturday 21 march Percy Community Centre, 10am - 2.30pm'

I'm going to be at Bath this weekend for at the Literary Escape Festival! I'll be at the Percy Community Centre from 10 am until 2.30pm - so I hope you'll come along to see me and all the other amazing authors and creators!
