A wonderfully warm and witty novel from one of our favourite women’s fiction stars. We defy you not to love this.

Heat Magazine

With a heroine that you root for this is a sweet read with real heart and soul.

☀️ First day of Deck Life ☀️ . Our corner of the world has been properly sunny today, so I sat outside on the deck, drank coffee, read the brilliant Save The Cat Writes a Novel plotting book, wrote copious notes and listened to somebody use what sounded like a demented lawnmower a few gardens over. 🌱 . I said hello to the birds that ventured close, and they flew away. My skin went almost instantly pink in a “what is this strange heat you are subjecting me to?” panic. I had to grit my teeth when a bee took an interest and chant to myself: “not a wasp, not a wasp, not a wasp.” 🐝 . It was pretty glorious, and I feel I have not only re-introduced my white skin to sunshine, but I’ve armed myself with a brilliant plotting strategy for my new book, too. 📝 . . . . . . #decklife #authorslife #authorsofig #authorgram #amplotting #coffeeandsunshine #amwritingromance #thiswritinglife #plotting #savethecat #jessicabrody #writinginspiration #authorinspiration #viewfromthedeck #deckview #gardensofinstagram #gardenview #gardenviews #reclaimthehappy #inspiremyinsta #lovecreative #thesehappysquares #capturequiet #myhappyviews #smallmomentsofcalm #creativeinspiration #creativeatheart #caffeinateandconquer #bookishlife #mybookishlife

Today has been a good day for all sorts of reasons (v small ones, no Big News Looming or anything). ✨ . One of the main reasons is that our beautiful, stripy, no-filter-needed tulips have bloomed. 🌷 . Look at them in all their springish, colourful glory. 💐 . . . . . #reclaimthehappy #inspiremyinsta #becreativeeveryday #lovecreative #thesehappysquares #mycreativespace #authorgram #writergram #tulipsofinstagram #tulipseason #gardensofinstagram #capturequiet #creativelifestyle #myhappyviews #smallmomentsofcalm #creativeinspiration #creativeatheart #caffeinateandconquer #myquietbeauty #inmygarden #everysquareastory #slowlivingforlife #ofsimplethings #creativespace #takeamoment #quietmoments #createyourlife #dreamersanddoers #liveauthentically #livemoremagic

I have had the most relaxed weekend, doing hardly anything except reading, pottering and watching films. 🎞 . We watched Man of Steel, Suicide Squad, The Silence, Godfather II and Batman Vs Superman. I am all filmed out, and a bit emotionally wrung out after that last one. 💔 . But it was a perfect recharge-the-batteries weekend, which is ideal because it is New Book time. (I am very excited about my tiny, fledgling idea).🌱 . Inspired by a certain character, I have written myself a new message on my light box, which will hopefully spur me on! 💪🏻 . . . . . . #authorgram #authormoments #newbook #writergram #motivationmondays #mondaymotivations #dcfilms #supermanlove #writerslifestyle #writewritewrite #writersofbookstagram #authorinspiration #writerinspiration #novelwriter #wordboss #writingspace #writinggoals #authorgoals #amwritingfiction #romancewriters #romancewritersofinstagram #romancestagram #dcsuperman #instaauthor #lifeofawriter #bookmarketing #novelwriting #writeabook #lovetowrite #bookishlife
