When I am in my writing cave writing, editing, thinking or procrastinating, this is the part of my bookshelf I stare at most, because it is at eye level. I would love to be clean and minimalist, but I don’t think it’s in my blood, so all my shelves have additions in front of the books. * Here are three beautiful Netsuke from Greenwich Market of my favourite animals - a sheep, crocodile and scorpion, and the horse my sister got me from Vesuvius when she went with school. I treasure this horse, and wonder if it was what inspired my love of all things sparkly, or if that was ingrained from day one. * This pic also contains a very tiny segment of my TBR pile. A VERY tiny segment. 😱 * * * * * #authorlife #tbrpile #authorsofinstagram #authormoments #writingcave #writingspace #thiswritinglife #writersofinstagram #writinglife #writinglifestyle #inmyoffice #officeview #amwriting #amprocrastinating #bookshelfie #shelfielove #bookwormsfeature #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #whereiwrite #wheniwrite #netsuki #fairylights #fairylightlove #stareintospace #sparkling #bookshelfstyling #bookshelflove #bookloversunite #booksbooksbooks

I had the most brilliant day yesterday, signing copies of #TheHouseofBirdsandButterflies (and The Canal Boat Café and The Once in a Blue Moon Guesthouse) at @norwichstones. I would have been chuffed if a couple of people turned up so I wasn’t sitting there like a lemon the whole time, but in fact it was so busy! Lots of lovely ex work colleagues came; a director I used to PA for and hadn’t seen for a few years; friends, authors, bloggers. Strangers stopped by to chat and try my books on a whim. I had no time to drum my fingers on the table and feel embarrassed at ALL! * Thank you to @norwichbooks for organising it and looking after me. Thank you to @heidi_swain for coming (and for taking this fab photo) and to Laura (who I don’t think is on Insta) for the amazing flapjacks and bookmark. Thank you to @allbookedup84 and @onceuponabookreview for coming to see me and buy books. Thank you to @themachmonkey and @katy.chilvers for being my wing people. Twas a totally amazing day. 🎉📚🖋💕 * * * * * #authorlife #authormoments #thiswritinglife #booksigning #signingmybooks #writingcommunity #norwich #norfolk #norfolklife #norwichlife #writinglife #writinglifestyle #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #writersofig #bookstagram #bookgram #authorgram #takeamoment #allthethankyous #luckyauthor #authorphoto #waterstones #bookshopsofinstagram #bookshoplover #bestday #amwriting #amsigning #authoring

It chucked it down on our way home, but I had to take a pic of this church gate because it looked romantic and mysterious and an ideal setting for the end of a romance novel, where the hero and heroine end up kissing in the rain. I love a good kissing in the rain scene, and was trying to remember if I’d written one, and then - of course - there is quite an important one in The Once in a Blue Moon Guesthouse. How could I have forgotten? * Rain is much more romantic than sunshine imo. What do you think? * I’ve rather gone off topic. The church where this gate lives is nicknamed The Cathedral of the Fields. Isn’t that beautiful? * * * * * #authorinspiration #authormoments #authorlife #kissingintherain #romanticrain #gatesofinstagram #churchgate #norfolk #norfolkchurches #loverain #norfolkphotography #countrysidephotography #ilovethisplace #writingcommunity #amwritingromance #romanticscene #romanticending #cathedralofthefields #alwaysromance #romancewriter #writinginspiration #rainorsun #kissinggate #vividgreen #hiddenromance #mysteriousplace #gates #Fridayfinds #theonceinabluemoonguesthouse #authorgram

Who can resist a wheat field photo, especially when paired with tumultuous clouds? It felt more like autumn than August on our drive out this afternoon, but I didn’t mind that at all because autumn is my favourite. 🍂💕 * * * * * #authorlife #authormoments #wheatfield #wheatfieldphotography #norfolk #norfolkfields #landscapephotography #countrysidephotography #clouds #cloudlove #cloudphotography #Iloveclouds #autumninaugust #theview #norfolkviews #countrysideviews #countrysideview #norfolklove #goldenfields #fieldsofgold #fridayafternoons #authorinspiration #rainclouds #rainiscoming #atmospheric #fieldphotography #wheatfields #wheatfield #outandabout #thiswritinglife
