Just finished the final proofread of THE LADY, THE TIGER, AND THE GIRL WHO LOVED DEATH and I'm buzzing with excitement! It's surreal to see this story polished and ready. After so many drafts, knowing that soon I'll get to share this world with readers feels both terrifying and wonderful.

Delighted by @alasdairstuart.com 's review of my Torchwood episode! Love how he caught our "rom com without much romance" vibe and the Thin Man meets Cronenberg tone. "Arch, funny, terrifying and another very strong entry in a very strong series. 10/10" scifibulletin.com/doctor-who/r...

seriously few things make me as happy as knowing someone teaches using my writing
