@KenechiUdogu This is my next read 🙂

Really happy to be featured as YA debut author of the month for LoveReading4Kids, who donate 25% of physical books and 15% of ebooks purchased on their website to a school of your choice to foster reading programmes. There's a lovely review of Augmented, as well as a Q&A with me.

This was one f my very first times talking about Naeli @Mostly_BookTalk - thanks for having me!!!

Just finished my proof of #TheMurderAtWorldsEnd @mossmontmomery the perfect ingredients for an Edwardian murder mystery with excellent funny, sweary dialogue, a perfect anti-heroine brought to life by a master storyteller - keeps you guessing with the door ajar for another story!

#Furzedown spending the day at the Furzedown Funday @ThisisRiverside

@jasinbath @chickenhsebooks So lovely to join you and see the inspiration behind Naeli @britishmuseum @Wallace_shop and an amazing brunch @Dishoom in Covent Garden with bottomless chai

I had such a great time yesterday. A book trail to the places in Naeli’s London and finally a perfect Dishoom brunch to warm up from the rain with this awesome bunch! Thank you @chickenhsebooks for making pub day extra special!

@DanSmithAuthor On my list!

@mossmontmomery Just requested this!

First Netgalley reviews are coming in for #TheMurderAtWorldsEnd and I couldn't be happier!

I’ve broken my finger so the tennis lessons I signed up for are pretty useless but I didn’t ask for a refund - he’s a sole trader in the park - he messaged me to tell me he’s refunded me @SeatfrogHelp that’s called customer service.

Two stories of customer service - @Seatfrog refused me a refund - I booked a ticket going the wrong way - my error - then the right way so I naively believed they’d refund it as in I can’t be in both places at once - they won’t ‘binding contract etc etc’ so 🤷‍♀️meanwhile…

I’ve done a #VEDay video for schools. About the day. A short reading. And some thoughts on war. youtu.be/e_nuEqNIuII?si…

@jkdwriter @nomadbooks @MoylettLisa @HeraBooks What a fabulous launch and I’m really looking forward to our chat on #RiversideReads @ThisisRiverside on April 17th

Nothing says book launch party like a cake with your cover on! Huge thanks to everyone who came along to lovely @nomadbooks to celebrate the launch of SHE WANTS YOU GONE - friends, family, fellow writers, my brilliant agent @MoylettLisa and fantastic publisher @HeraBooks

👑 WINNER 👑 This is the face of a (still in shock) Waterstones Children's Book Prize winning author! @NateLessore’s going home as the KING OF THE OLDER READER CATEGORY!

@Mat_at_Brookes @anthony_mcgowan @BarringtonStoke It’s a great world to spend time in, slow down and think about the things that matter like family. I felt a bit emotional reading it as our ‘beck’ the Wandle in SW London was damaged last week with a massive diesel spill.

Look what I have my hands on! Deeply fortunate to spend time in @anthony_mcgowan worlds and words. Thank you @BarringtonStoke

@MichaelRosenYes Near the front main entrance - tricky if there’s a few contenders like at the Royal Albert Hall

For a particular reason I'll go into later, can people help me define the word 'outside', as in its sense of eg I met him 'outside' the Post Office? Or my friends were 'outside' the hall? Near? How near? What's the nearest distance that could no longer be counted as 'outside'?
