And this is why I now carry a pocket full of bird seed with me when I go into the garden. I've made a friend...

If you get in quickly - the fabulous new novel from Rebecca Ide has 25% off with a pre-order from @waterstones.bsky.social. If you like your fantasy murderousy, gothic historical, romantical and with a fair bit of snark and spice - sometimes at the same time - then this is one for you!!

Just in case you missed the announcement at the weekend - here's a little bit more about the fabulous debut fantasy by @Awakedreamer, DREAM OF THE JET-BLACK CITY acquired by @kellyyrosee15 for @bonnierbooks_uk's Zaffre imprint. bit.ly/4hNlagz Scott Lynch meets China MiΓ©ville anyone? πŸ˜ƒ

Oh you know the one...πŸ˜˜πŸ˜†

I am super excited to finally be able to shout about @awakedreamer.bsky.social's fabulous and imaginative debut fantasy being picked up by Kelly at Bonnier Books! Can't wait for you guys to read this! www.thebookseller.com/rights/two-d...

Seriously - how gorgeous is this cover?! And those endpapers?! Can't wait for you to get your hands on this brilliant book by @kellwoods.bsky.social, publishing with @torbooks.bsky.social in the US, @titanbooks.bsky.social in the UK and @harpercollins.bsky.social In Australia. Publishing NEXT WEEK!!

UPON A STARLIT TIDE by @kellinthewoods is one of Amazon's Best Books of February - it's the season of the Mermaid people!! amazon.com/b/?_encoding...

Seen the most STUNNING book cover and artwork but can't say any more than that at the moment...but SO EXCITED!!

With all the Rebecca Yarros excitement - there are recs out for dragon books. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social's FURY OF THE GODS is one. Be warned though. There's no sexy, sexy in this. There is plenty of ACTION and great characters! πŸ˜πŸ˜† bit.ly/40puaAY

Had a fun and, hopefully, helpful, conversation with the #BrothersGwynne and John Gwynne - about publishing, the working relationship between author and editor - and maybe some apologies for certain characters I may have done wrong by!! πŸ«£πŸ˜‚ www.youtube.com/watch?si=mbx...

Yes, I have added Lik-Rifa into my Viking village. Thankfully, Orka is on hand...along with some of the Bloodsworn!!! See, you can have all sorts of fun with the characters from @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social's books!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I started reading THE GENTLEMAN AND HIS VOWSMITH by Rebecca Ide (aka @devinmadson.bsky.social ) and I am HOOKED. Murder, banter, creepy spooky stuff, fantastic characters!!! Half queer romance, half gothic ghost story, half locked room murder mystery (yes I know that's 3 halves, shhh), all excellent

I just finished this and it’s SO good you guys. Funny, creepy, charming and sweet. You may come out obsessed with Leaf, like I did

Cover reveal for Rebecca Ide's novel THE GENTLEMAN AND HIS VOWSMITH cover reveal by @thefantasyhive.bsky.social. If you like the sound of Bridgerton meets Enola Holmes then you're going to LOVE this! tinyurl.com/3jcsftuu

Four covid tests. One positive, three negative. Three of us have ALL the Covid symptoms - one of us has no symptoms. Guess who got the positive result? Twice! CLUE: It was no one with any symptoms...

Have treated myself to a new notebook and am loving the vintage vibes...

Lovely interview with John Gwynne and his boys with @philipchase90.bsky.social ... youtu.be/3awjMQrWQYw?...

I have absolutely NO idea what #starterpacks I'm included on, but I'm LOVING all the very different and diverse folk following me. Just hope I can deliver enough bookish advice, news, and entertainment to keep everyone engaged.

Always love to see publishing in a TV/Film adaptation. One of the funniest was when the editor of the #Supernatural books got a matching tattoo of the MCs. Trying to think of any editors who have tattoos of their clients' books...I do not BTW! πŸ˜€ BUT if I were to get a tattoo...what should it be of?

Are we doing #askagent on here at all? If so, I'm around for an hour or so...if not, I have wine and submissions so it's all good!

Thoroughly enjoyed doing this! But apologise if my voice sounds like it reaches decibels only dogs can hear...

Absolutely thrilled that @kellinthewoods.bsky.social debut AFTER THE FOREST has hit number six on the Sunday Times bestseller lists. No mean feat when the plethora of absolute talents on the list is SO strong. Published by @titanbooks.bsky.social - if you haven't grabbed a copy yet, get on it! πŸ˜†

If you haven't read this delightful, gingerbread-spiced historical/fairytale novel yet - what are you waiting for? There are witches, romance, a bear and the occasional beating heart ripped from a chest. Perfect reading for Halloween! πŸŽƒπŸ§™β€β™€οΈπŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ’‹β€πŸ‘¨πŸ»πŸ’”πŸ˜†
