I like to think I’m a vaguely sentient, rational person and then two seconds of early sun hits my face and I remember I’m just a plant that overthinks

Fighting for my life to make sure people know that my cottagecore book is ‘let’s pour our grief and rage into working in our garden bcos it’s the only safe space for it, and while we’re at it let’s think about snogging girls’ vibes, not a ‘let’s gloat about our rights being taken away’ kinda delio

‘How do you come up with book ideas?’

1) think about all your friends
2) think about all the things that make them cry
3) write those things down

Congrats! You wrote a book!

I am so, so, so happy for you pal! Congratulations!

Doing research for a book for the first time in my life and honestly…this kinda rules???

I feel like you could have so much fun with running a contest to see if people can guess what your next book is about based on a few examples of what you’re researching bcos you know you always find the *coolest* facts

Thank you so much my lovely! I literally can’t wait for you to read it 🩷🩷

I have been in absolute bits all day 😭😭

How lucky am I? Mia just honestly knocked it out of the park, it was genuinely crazy how effortlessly she came up with this all

But when her best friend goes missing Sam will be forced out onto a rescue mission that will take her into the path of a mysterious hitman, in and out of dreams, and into truths about Auchter House that will shake everything she has ever known about the University - and herself.

‘Something waits in the darkness. And it already knows your name.’

For five years Auchter House, a mysterious university for the study of the arcane and occult, has been the only safe place Sam Sheridan has known...’

Mia was an absolute dream artist for me and the fact that she accepted the commission and was such a dream to work with has been one of my favourite parts of the publishing process so far.

I could not be more excited or over the moon to finally reveal the cover for my debut novel SOME ADVANCED NOTES ON PRACTICAL DREAMING, as created by the amazingly talented @miavern.bsky.social !!!

Happy cover reveal day to me!!! Omg!!!

Ahhh thank you 😭😭

Less than 24 hours until my cover reveal im levitating with excitement

I’m getting that itch* again

*thinking about dipping my toes back into trad pub again

Wait no stop so much good publishing news has happened for lovely friends this week, I’m literally so excited

We’ve had sunshine in Scotland for two days in a row so suffice to say, I feel like I could fistfight god

Currently on a mission to prioritise enjoying my writing above any other goal for it and I’ve gotta say it’s really working and my heart feels fuller than it has in ages

Just saw a tumblr post which was like ‘is it a plot hole or did they just not spoon feed it to you bcos it’s obvious if you would just allow yourself to think about it for 10 seconds’

And I would like to tattoo it on my forehead pls

Just realised my cover reveal is a week from now so that’s a lot to process all at once

You are fantastic. You are a living grimoire. You are the dreams of an eldritch goddess. You are a tiny library in the hollow of an ancient oak. You are a swarm of faeries writing poetry on the night sky with streaks of glittery flames.

I know when you say incognito you probably just mean being chill but I need you to know I’m envisioning you in a trench coat and a big hat like creeping around, hiding behind shelves

Current WIP has a Gideon X Harrow but they’re running a kingdom together and it’s even *more* enemies to lovers kinda vibe and I’m having an excellent time

Loved this! Some of the most gorgeous quotes from some of my absolute heroes 😍
