As found in Southampton ! Come on! I must have at least THIS many friends who I can guilt into buying a hardback of #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #thefortyelephants #athousandblows #southampton #waterstones

Love this photo! Taken at Victoria Country Park and #Netley Military Hospitals Cemetery, full of #commonwealth graves and lots of beguiling stories from the past. I did include this place in Poor Girls, briefly, as the hospital in which Nell's dad was sent after he was injured in WW1. #poorgirlsbook

Haha this flashed up from when I went to Waves of Nostalgia in Haworth! I love it! Makes me look like a wanted fugitive and a member of the Forties! I only wish I had their lady balls! #thefortyelephants #poorgirlsbook
Really enjoyed the event and met lots of lovely people. #crimewave #haworth

Currently being modelled by the beautiful @mrs.lovely24 in the archipelago in Sweden.

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

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.

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

Look at that! The Gone and The Forgotten made it to France!!! #thegoneandtheforgotten #peopleofabandonedcharacter #poorgirlsbook #historicalcrime #psychological #crime #books #oldestfriends #friends #morden

Going to do this now before I go to bed at about 10pm. Happy New Year to one and all! Perfection is the enemy of progress so they say, so lets keep trucking - inch by inch!

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

Got a great review for Poor Girls in last week's copy of The Sun:

"Raucous, fast-paced and dripping with 1920s grime and glamour."

I shan't be grumbling... #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook #promo #newbook #newfiction #hardback #london #thefortyelephants #crime #historicalcrime

Morning! Me outside one of the landmarks in Southampton recently when I went into talk on to BBC Radio Solent about Poor Girls! I was lucky enough to be invited to speak on the same subject on The Robert Elms Show on BBC Radio London yesterday morning.

What a privilege! #poorgirls #poorgirlsbook

Thanks to @startingtofallapart for the guerrilla marketing. I believe Alice Diamond and The Forties would be well pleased! This is #Waterstones #Basingstoke! Poor Girls (and boys!) are out there unleashing havoc as they should 🖤

We see Poor Girls passing the doggie sniff test.... something about this book that is luring the animals in. We have one reader saying his cats wouldn't leave it alone and here's another one!?

The Poor Girls Audio book is narrated by comedian, writer & actor - Jenny Bede - the weird thing is when I heard her voice I thought how she sounded like the Nell I had conjured in my head!!!
