Really looking forward to seeing everyone at the Darkside of Brighton festival, and being on a panel at the Old Ship Hotel Saturday, March 8. Come along and have a listen and meet the authors and the real stories behind their stories. Tickets: tinyurl.com/57d3v63w

Twas proper nippy this morning…

How lovely to be accompanied on my floof walk with the lovely @zoerichardsuk & @BexBookaholic on the podcast. A joy it was to listen to them natter about books. Have ordered Broken Country by @ClareEmpson2 off the back of rec's by Bex, @thereadingpara & @yearsofreading.

Remembering Max, who we lost a year ago today. He was my shadow, always at my feet. I miss him every day. Part of my heart will never recover. This is him on his favourite beach in Tenby staring hopefully at Evie's ice cream. He lives on in the Castleby Series as Brock.

I'm joining Tony Forder Michelle Kidd, Ken Ward & Zoe Bateman for 'When the DI Takes Charge' at THE DARKSIDE OF BRIGHTON! Join us at The Old Ship Hotel, on 8th March, 1.00-1.45pm. Huge thanks to @lilmissmorfett.bsky.social for organising the event! Get your tickets now👇

Merlin’s technique of blocking the stairs until you take him out….

Love this!!

📚 A huge thank you to @jmsimpsonauthorbsk.bsky.social for sending me a copy of the first book in her brand new series, The Ophelia Murders! (The shortbread was eaten in roughly 0.3 seconds.)

So…I’ve found this ball….

Thought for today…..

Out with bestie and the hubbies last night….lots of alcohol consumed in the ever wonderful @FugglesBeerCafe - love anywhere where I walk in and my drink is presented to me without me even asking……#favlocal

Big thanks to @jmsimpsonauthorbsk.bsky.social for this beautiful book post - if the novel is half as exciting as the package, we are on to a winner 😍😍😍 #BookTwitter

Sounds ridiculous, but this gets me out of all sorts of trouble - it's my timeline calendar. Start of every book - I plot every event on WHICH day it happened. This way I don't end up in a panic about what day it is or when something happened! Staggeringly organised (for me).

Thrilled to bits to be featured by this lovely lady @kathrynhall_editor to ramble on all plotting and stuff! Thank you! Read it here! www.cjhall.co.uk/author-profi...

I’ve just seen a TikTok for a ‘tunnocks wafer fridge cake (like rocky road but nicer); and now it’s GENUINELY all I can think about. #tunnocksofficial
