You can hear me talking about the new book at WRITE festival at The Word in South Shields on Wednesday 17 September at 2pm. Book your place here.

And there's still a few days left to enter to win a signed copy of the hardback version of the book. Enter here and good luck!

The book found itself in Malta this week with Karen's Book Bag on holiday. I love photos like these from abroad!

And I was featured in the wonderful Scarborough Spy magazine with a half-page advertisement and a teaser of the book launch in December, in Scarborough. More news on this coming soon.

Plus, my BIG news was made public this week... watch this space.

And finally this week I visited Waterstones in Newcastle where I was happy to see The Toffee Factory Girls front and centre on their Romance and Sagas table. What a joy!

I crafted another episode of my weekly soap opera Riverside for The People's Friend magazine. I've been writing Riverside weekly since 2016 and you can find out all about it here.
