The Day I Left You by @carolinebishop.bsky.social is out now! A beautiful exploration of love, a compelling mystery and spy drama, as well as a fascinating tale of the messed up world of the Cold War that sucked in innocent people wrapped up in effortless and evocative prose. Grab yourself a copy!

Awarded myself a day off to visit the gorgeous Moco Museum in Marble Arch. Such a great place- no crowds, wonderful collection of modern art and especially excited to see the Banksy exhibits. Highly recommend a visit!

Gorgeous frosty walk this morning! It was a year ago tomorrow that I broke my leg and mangled my knee. Two operations and lots of rehab still to go, I’m truly thankful I can walk comfortably again. Now back to warm up by the fire and tackle my edits! #writinglife

My last read of 2024 and it was a great one! Watch out for this brilliant new noir thriller from the talented @elenikwriter.bsky.social coming May 25. Beneath the glitz and glamour of 1950’s Hollywood lies a dark underbelly. Utterly addictive. Thanks @headofzeus.bsky.social for my copy! 🙏🙏

Coming May ‘25, brilliantly addictive, utterly unputdownable. Set in glamorous expat Bali, secrets and resentment simmer beneath the surface, threatening to erupt any time, just like smouldering Mount Batur. Brava @nikkismithauthor.bsky.social - possibly your best yet! 👏👏 #TheyHadItComing

Absolutely loved this beautifully written, beguiling dual timeline mystery by @evepollychase.bsky.social So evocative of 1990’s Notting Hill, I was fully immersed in all the senses. A wonderful book to escape into on a drab winter’s day and a very worthy Richard and Judy winter bookclub pick!

For 13 years #joinin has been a lovely thing for Christmas Day - and beyond - on twitter. Help me gather up what’s here now? The gorgeous sarahmillican.bsky.social stepped down last Christmas. I’m happy to get it going here, although I’m not fancy like her 🥰 But perhaps someone stepped up already?
