Sneak peek from #NoirAtTheBar - I shared the brief outline first, before reading the first page of my novel. ✍🏻 Full reading over on my insta stories - although not for much longer… 😂 #AmQuerying #SpeculativeThriller #BookPitch #WritersCommunity

Made a little reel about #TheakstonsCrime last weekend and spent most of it missing everyone and being so sad that it’s over 😂 roll on next year @HarrogateFest - I already can’t wait! It’s just the most fun! 📚 instagram.com/reel/DMnZBHuoP… #BookTweet #BookTwitter @ed_pr

Friday night theatre and it’s a musical version of Compton Mackenzie’s ‘joyous queer novel’ @JSTheatre 💖 It’s a stunning cast so I have high hopes ☺️ Reviewing today for @theatreandtonic 🎭 #PressNight #TheatreTweet #Theatre

Taking a break from reading and theatre (sort of) to explore some of London’s restaurants over the summer… 💖 Had a wonderful dinner @ClaretteLondon last night: seabass ceviche and monkfish in a champagne sauce… 😋 highly recommend! #FoodTwitter #London #Wanderlust #Foodie

Speaking of couples caught on camera somewhere they shouldn’t be…. #IDidItFirst #kisscam #booktwt

This photo is truly excellent and sums up @HarrogateFest 👌🏻 all writers and readers! 🩷 What a fab weekend of panels, books and conversations 🥹 Accommodation already booked for next year 😅😍 @ed_pr #TheakstonsCrime @theakstonbr #HIFChair

Possibly my favourite photo from the weekend at @HarrogateFest with Jo Morey, Rebecca Bainbridge, Gemma Denham & the one and only Mia Paradise!

So after burning the candle at both ends @HarrogateFest I went to bed at 5.30am this morning after being corrupted by theatre friends who were jealous of my bookish posts! 😂 Weirdly been super productive at work so clearly this insomniac has found her sleep sweet spot… 👌🏻

The @HarrogateFest comedown is real! 😅 Will share some videos later in the week, but here are a few photos to give you FOMO. 📷 Will we see you next year? 23-26 July 🩷 It’s a truly amazing experience. 🤩 #TheakstonsCrime #CrimeWriters @ed_pr #BookTwitter

Whatever happened to the likely lads and lasses? 🤔 Let’s find out… ☺️ Time for a panel chaired by Val McDermid, featuring some incredible authors who previously made the New Blood list at festivals past… 📚 @HarrogateFest #TheakstonCrime #CrimeWriters #BookTwitter

The inimitable #KateMosse in conversation with #PaulaHawkins @HarrogateFest Two of my favourite writers on one stage 💖 If you haven’t read these books - I urge you to do so… 🦴 #BookTwitter #CrimeWriters #History #TheakstonCrime

Whodunnit? 🧑‍⚖️ Can we guess which fictional villain these lawyers are defending… pretty sure I’ve got 2/2 so far (the second book is one of my faves)… who’s next? 👀 @HarrogateFest #TheakstonsCrime #BookTwitter #CrimeWriters #LegalThrillers #CourtDrama

First panel of Friday is Post-Mortem Postcode Lottery featuring some fantastic authors. 🗺️ How important is geography when it comes to murder? 👀 @HarrogateFest #TheakstonCrime #BookEvents #BookTwitter @

May have accidentally on purpose already bought this as a little treat. It’s such a pretty set. 💖 No, I’ve not read them. No, I’ve not seen the show. No, I won’t be taking questions at this time. 🤫 #BookTwitter #Bridgerton

Just found this absolute gem of a song on Spotify… 🎶 Anyone going to @HarrogateFest - this one’s for you 😂 open.spotify.com/track/7E6G3TpT… #BookTwitter #Harrogate #CrimeWriters

Love this!

Off to @HarrogateFest @TheakstonsCrime this weekend to soak up some sunshine and crime with friends. ☀️ Who else is making their way to Yorkshire for booze and books? 🥂 💙📚 #BookTweet #AuthorTweet #CrimeWriting #TheakstonCrime

Faber writing group have read the first two (unedited) chapters of my new novel and love it more than my first… 🤔 So I guess that means I have to write the whole thing… 😅 Guess it’s glad I’m not in any more plays for a while… 🎭 #AmWriting #WritersLife
