This year I’m trying to sew more and upcycle those clothes I kinda love but don’t wear. Today I turned a beautiful (but too big) knitted Nordic tunic into scarves for me and my daughter. Here’s mine - unlike the garment it came from, I know I’ll wear it all the time 😊🧵✨
✨🇺🇸 I'm delighted to tell my wonderful readers in the US that LAKE CHILD is now available to request on @NetGalley! 🇺🇸✨ Click my bio link for details 😊
✍️ Let’s talk #stationery - are you a notebook hoarder, like me? My next writing project is another psychological suspense for 2021 (don’t worry, the 2020 one is all wrapped up and out this autumn!) and I’m note-making in this beautiful, slightly battered gold Italian Valentina notebook, rescued from the damaged shelf in @tkmaxxuk ✨ The paper is divine to write on (I’ve returned to an ink pen) and the book edge is red dipped. It makes me happy - can you tell?

For #ThrowbackThursday here's a pic of me and my little sis @familyofbeasts larking about, 40 years ago. Today we're still larking about together, often in words & pictures #CreateEachDay ✍️🎨
Last night I returned for an event at Waterstones in Brighton, where I last spoke during the launch of my debut Glasshopper - 11 years ago! Since then I’ve written a further 7 novels, and have little step by little step fulfilled my ambition to make writing my full time job. Last night it was a delight to see the Waterstones team, to meet readers new and old (one who remembered asking me to sign a copy for her all those years ago!) and to share the stage with brilliant fellow writer Helen Fields. ✨ A HUGE thanks to all my supporters, near and far, for buying my books, reading and reviewing them ... and encouraging me to keep writing 🙏

I've always adored miniatures - tiny cosmetics, dolls house figures, mini bar bottles and Neopolitan chocolates (remember?) So I was delighted to receive these small-but-perfectly-formed Spotlight books from @myriad_editions for my #weekendreads 🙏 Thank you x #SpotlightBooks
