Thank you! I hope you love it!

Nothing quite says I have my life together than trying to cancel utilities, spending hours not understanding why it won't let me cancel on XX/XX/2025, then having to Google 'What year is it?'

Happy New Year! It's been seemingly quiet for me but with lots going on behind the scenes. For one, BETWEEN GHOSTS AND GODS was announced this year, coming out September 2026!

Here's hoping 2026 is kind to us all. What are your wishes for 2026?

Good idea! Like a coded message that you can only read if you have the cipher?

Pigeons! Never thought of that. I will look it up.

I need my characters to get in contact with a secretive terrorist organisation. The level of tech is post industrial revolution, pre-internet. Anyone please toss me ideas. I'm resisting googling 'how to contact terrorists' right now

It's never too early for an explainer edit, is it?

BETWEEN GHOSTS AND GODS is coming out September 2026

❤️ Slow burn romance
🔥 Set in the underworld with...
👻 Ghosts! Demons!
🐈‍⬛ Also a very smug demonic cat
💜 Learning forgiveness
🍴 But also 80% of this hell city would like to eat you

The cat's out of the bag now!

Same! I gathered them up for a photo but soon they'll be in disarray again.

That's sensible. Would you save books that are part of a series for last or start with them too?

Ooh, gamifying it! Never thought about that but it sounds fun!

A slightly smaller stack of books, though not visibly so.

How it started Vs How it's going. My tbr list after about 6 months. I know it looks like no progress has been made, but I have read quite a bit, I swear!

Is anyone else fighting back their tbr list? Any recommendations for where I should start?

It's Banned Book Week! When I mentioned this my colleague recommended The Librarians documentary about the book bans sweeping the US. Cinema showings are limited (but I believe it's also playing on BBC4 tomorrow)

A decorated board with posters advertising and author visits and the name of the school at the top. The display table is empty because all the books have been taken.

Thanks to Nonsuch school for letting me talk to their Yr8 students about Rebel Skies and being an author! Also congrats to Clive the Capybara who is now the Yr8's shikigami and will be delivering pepsi to all.

An ARC of THE WOLF AND HIS KING by Finn Longman.

THE WOLF AND HIS KING comes out in the UK in 3 months today, so I'm giving away one paperback ARC!

To enter: follow me and reskeet this. Bonus: add TWAHK on GR/Storygraph & drop a screenshot in the comments. Extra bonus: tell me your favourite medieval story.

UK only (sorry). Closes midday 29/08.

I haven't been here much. Going through a bit of a crisis. Wrote two separate sapphic stories. One SF and one Fantasy, and both were shot down by my publisher so I've been scrambling to try and find something else to present to them. The joys of being an author.
