Happy Monday! Feeling the need to rebel? Why not indulge your criminal inclinations by losing yourself in the rip roaring shenanigans of The Forty Elephants #poorgirls

Can't believe its been well over a year since #poorgirls came out! I think its quite the time for a bunch of ambitious and rebellious young women to decide who they want to be rather than be told to be obedient and pleasing - pleasing to whom!? #crimefiction #thefortyelephants #badgirls #girlgang
Pretty sure it was a year ago or so I made it all the way to the BBC! I peaked I believe! Got to talk about Poor Girls and The Forty Elephants on Woman's Hour. @pollyreadsbooks

Embark on an adventure with the Forty Elephants this June 👉 geni.us/poorgirlspb
Old photo of my friends and me at The Grand in Clapham, as featured in Poor Girls book.
I've loved hearing the feedback from readers about how much they enjoyed the women's camaraderie. #friends #women #sisterhood #rebels #defiant #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants
Last year we went to bongo bingo at The Grand in Clapham and this place was a big old music hall back in the day. Here we are, keeping it classy with our canned drinks!
I actually used this as inspiration for Nell's first night out with the girls when she moves up to London. #poorgirls #thegrand
I went to an event and signed some copies of Poor Girls and now they're half price! I wonder if I can harness this devaluing power to houses, yachts and diamonds! Can you imagine if that was a superpower? Amazing!

There they are, still knocking about waiting to see what they can get away with! #poorgirls loved writing this book. I've been hiding under a rock because if one more person informs me of the new TV series about The Forty Elephants as if I've been living under a rock I may walk into the creek
Some shots from Christmas time of Haworth when I went up for a book event at #wavesofnostalgia to promote #poorgirls

Bestie took me on a date to The Grand, Brighton - as featured in Poor Girls! What a woman!
I once heard a story of Iggy Pop breaking into a psychiatric wing to liberate his mate, David Bowie, and go on a bender. #friendgoals.

Enthused by the response from readers over Poor Girls... thank you for embracing Nell and my wicked ladies...

With the best nicknames ever! The best dodgy stories! And a family man and a talented photographer to boot! Even built a playground in Iraq! Thank you for the support Tam!

Oh look! A picture of me trying to remember what I wrote in Poor Girls! Not really - a photo from my trip to Haworth at the wonderful Waves of Nostalgia in main street. A place I loved as a child when my mu dragged me back up north to see her relatives and took me to the Bronte parsonage. #poorgirls
Had a blast going on Woman's Hour at BBC HQ yesterday to talk about Poor Girls. Thanks to publicist, Polly, from Head of Zeus for being my responsible adult and making sure I didn't get lost in the building.

Not being funny either this reader is really tiny and needs rescuing or that book is massive!
Thank you to Ruth - one of the most impressive ladies, footballer, bath destroyer, all around viking woman. She would have been a real asset in the gang #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants
Exciting news! I will be on Woman's Hour to discuss Poor Girls tomorrow at 10am, obvs links can be found normal way!

That's what happens when you try and have a nice night out in Brighton! You get windswept and rained on. Don't bother doing your hair! Thanks for being my friend Jodie! #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #badweather #brighton #thegrand #books #friends #frenemies #mates #sisters
Very pleased to share a new review in the latest issue of That's Life Crime Scene magazine: 'A compulsive read about the underbelly of 1920s London, filled with humour and humanity'. #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants #crimefiction #historicalcrime #fiction #newfiction
Poor Girls made the week's hot read in Woman Magazine as chosen by Zoe West. Pretty sure Nell and the ladies would be happy with that. #womanmagazine #hotreads #pickoftheweek #books #bestbooks #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants
Pleased to share Love Reading picked Poor Girls as one of their books of the year! There is also a Q&A up online to read about the inspiration behind the story and the real life Forty Elephants

Look at this fabulous lady with her copy of Poor Girls. She's one of my oldest and bestest friends and one of the funniest actors I know and a talented photographer.
Very lucky to have Anna in my 'cell' The Forty Elephants would be proud! #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants #cameraderie
