Hooray, our traditional Christmas branch is officially in place ✨🎄✨ *Haha, I’ve just noticed one of the kids has slipped Creepy Baby Elf onto a branch 😆 **cushion fabric from @thedrapersdaughter
I’m having great fun hiding this creepy baby elf around the house to weird out my big kids. Unfortunately, Len discovered my latest hiding place and seems to want in on the act ... 🎅🐾🎄

Greek editions of #LittleSister ! ✨
This week I’ve been writing about writers’ pay, discussing the reported fall in authors’ incomes and the ways in which we can take control of what we will and won’t do for free. Including words of wisdom from writers @tomhcon @paulmcveighwriter and industry insider agent Kate Shaw ... read the full article on my website (link in bio) or via Twitter ✨

Here are just a few I mean to read over the coming months, a mixture of early proofs, gifts, and paperbacks I’ve picked up from local booksellers and author events along the way (because there’s no such thing as too many books, right?) ✨ #TBR : Friends Like These by #SarahAlderson The Good Friend by #JoBaldwin On My Life by #AngelaClarke @theangelaclarke You Let Me In by #LucyClarke @lucyclarke_author The Date by #LouiseJensen @fabricating_fiction The Dig by #CynanJones Forest Dark by #NicoleKrauss Absolute Beginners by #ColinMacinnes Kid Gloves by #AdamMarsJones The Girl Next Door by #PhoebeMorgan @phoebeannmorgan The Underground Railroad by #ColsonWhitehead
This recycled plastic bottle tree in #Chichester is breathtakingly beautiful and a symbolic reminder of the need to recycle, reuse or pass on plastic altogether. Bravo @rubbish_artistry ✨
Beautiful post-writing walk 🍂
