‪Struggling to find the right words to express how much I loved The Cutting Place. ‬ . ‪A scarily plausible, brutal story that kept me guessing - and often holding my breath, with characters that I genuinely care about. . It shocked me, made me laugh, and moved me to tears.‬ . ‪I am so, so happy I discovered Jane Casey’s books, and I could not love Maeve Kerrigan or Josh Derwent more. ♥️‬

I do love a sparkly light. Trees in Norwich looking extra lovely this morning. . #norwich #norwichlife #fairylightsphotography #sparklesparkle #sparklylights

On Monday I had a lovely lunch in Norwich with my brilliant editor, to talk about the upcoming Cornish Cream Tea Summer - the first ebook is out two weeks tomorrow folks 🤩 - and also to talk about the Next Book. . To say I am excited about writing about it, that I am already a bit in love with my heroine and hero, and quietly bouncing with happiness about what is going to happen to them, would be a whole host of understatements. 😬 I cannot wait to burst forth with titles and plots and things, but I can’t do that yet. . So I am back at my desk with a new candle, and fleshing out my plot and my characters and my chapter breakdowns, and because I failed to take any pics of our lovely lunch on Monday, you will have to settle for the writing cave: candle, Cress mug, changing-colour orb lamp, v small section of my TBR pile. . One day I will remember to take photos of the exciting things: one day, but not today. 📖♥️

Tonight we went to The Assembly House in Norwich - where David and I had our wedding reception almost 12 years ago - to see @ellygriffiths17 in conversation with @elizabethhayneswrites on launch day of her new Ruth Galloway mystery, The Lantern Men. . Elly Griffiths is one of my all-time favourite authors, and her books - especially the Ruth Galloway series - last no longer than a couple of days once I’ve got my hands on them. (I mean reading them - I don’t eat them or destroy them or anything). . I cannot WAIT to find out what happens next between Ruth and Nelson, and the legend of the lantern men sounds creepy as hell, and right up my 👻-loving, Norfolk-loving street. . The event was hosted by @jarroldnorwich and the super lovely @agenthollis, and there was lots of fun and fascinating discussion, including who would be best-suited to play Ruth and Nelson in any future TV adaptations. I am VERY much behind Richard Armitage for Nelson. 🥰 . I got to see Elly afterwards and get my book signed - I have been going to her Norwich events for several years and she has always been so supportive of my writing and is a lovely, lovely person. . Obviously I failed to get a photo of Elly, because I am hopeless at these things, but here I am with my signed copy of The Lantern Men, standing - in a beautiful Georgian building full of period features - next to the fire escape. 🙄 Did I mention being hopeless? . I must now race through my current read so I can start it (and then obviously finish it far too quickly and cry that it’s over.) . A wonderful event. Hurrah for Elly and her brilliant books. ♥️

Sometimes all you need is a glittery sloth snow globe, and a husband who buys one for you as a surprise, knowing that this is exactly the thing that will make your writing cave complete. ♥️ . (He also bought me the most beautiful @radleylondon leather backpack, but that deserves a post all of its own). 🎒

EXCITING EVENT ALERT! . You may have seen this on @heidi_swain’s Instagram already, but here are the details again. . Join me us for an afternoon of bookish chat, a fun Q&A and book signing at @millenniumlibrary #Norwich on May 21st at 2pm! Booking details available nearer the time. . Come along to hear all about #TheSecretSeasideEscape & #CornishCreamTesSummer 📖🌅
