My first Regency novel Unladylike Lessons in Love is out today. Next to it I’m holding my first Georgette Heyer found in a secondhand bookstall as a teenager. Who knew it would be so important? As a brown writer of Indian origin what was my place in Regency fiction after all? 1)

Some hilarious adventures in trying to be a grown up and miserably failing. creativehunger.substack.com/p/occasionally…

I'm so excited to get #AnUnladylikeSecret - the third in the #Unladylike series from.@AmitaMurray. I love this series and these characters that have been built up. Their stories reach out to you and make you smile and make you think. Hope there's more to come #BookTwitter

Do you get chattier when you feel vulnerable? I do & my character Lila does. Only read if you want to see the edgier sides of Regency London, ‘scintillating’ dialogue (Cosmo & Good Housekeeping said it) & Bridgerton-level heat. 99p for a limited time. amazon.co.uk/Unladylike-Les…

Are even keel emotions all they’re cracked up to be? As a creative gal, I thrive on (& channel) my highs & lows instead of fighting them. But it took me years to figure this out. I love how my Barbie dress matches the gorgeous Richard Woods studio! creativehunger.substack.com/p/being-even-k…

99p KINDLE KLAXON ALERT! The first book in the Unladylike series is now cheaper than - well everything. See how it began. Lila, one of my favourite heroines never shows when she’s feeling vulnerable & Ivor is possibly the most enraging man in London amazon.co.uk/Unladylike-Les…

@spursgurl Ooh only just logged in and saw this! Thank you Sandy. Would love to hear what you think of it xx

@AmitaMurray Happy release day in the US! 🎉 Starting the audiobook!

So many women I know struggle with disordered eating. We manage anxiety, difficult emotions, desires and longings and inner monsters that seem out of step with the world by trying to control our eating and our weight. creativehunger.substack.com/p/disordered-e…

@ratcliffe_mj *Wrong order, not orders - now I can’t type

@ratcliffe_mj Totally read your tweets in the wrong orders but have written a long dm xx

This week, I was informed that my publisher, Bellows Press will cease trading by end June. It’s desperately disappointing for me, but I’m also devastated for Alice and Lisa, who are fabulous allies of LGTBQ+ writers, and for whom Bellows Press was a passion project. 🧵

@ratcliffe_mj @DrSueMoss @kblakemanwriter @JessLaw247 @JaneDunnAuthor @NovelistJessica @M_Hutchison @LisaStowaway @BellowsPress Oh always always! And would love to know what is next 👀 And I so want you to read An Unladylike Secret because for some reason think you might enjoy it 😍😍❤️😘

I'm not sure what's next for me, but I do want to give a shout out to the following lovely people who have supported me along the way. 🩷🩶❤️🧡 @DrSueMoss @kblakemanwriter @JessLaw247 @JaneDunnAuthor @NovelistJessica @AmitaMurray @M_Hutchison @LisaStowaway @BellowsPress

@NJSimmondsbooks It’s the best bond isn’t it? I swear I was thinking about her at the same time ❤️❤️

@AmitaMurray She knows you are always there for her. This will save her her entire life 🩷

This happened.

Thank you @AmitaMurray for my most anticipated read of the year #AnUnladylikeSecret I love the Marleigh sisters and can’t wait to meet Mira A marathon re-read of #UnladylikeLessonsinLove and #UnladylikeRulesofAttraction is planned too. harpercollins.co.uk/products/an-un…

In which I talk about crushes, disordered eating, creative longing and writing. It’s so exposing to write non-fiction but is also the truest thing I’ve ever written Subscribe for free: creativehunger.substack.com/p/creative-hun…

Sorry for the late response! I’m not here much. Big thank you, more Arya books coming soon but meantime I have a similar tone in creativehunger.substack.com/p/creative-hun… Where I talk crushes, cake, desire, disordered eating and more. To subscribe is free. Please share! ❤️

the annual realisation that all the time you were feeling low or anxious in the last few months it was largely because the goddamn sun was missing

In time for Valentine’s Day a gorgeous list from @GHmagazine. Mine is fun, steamy, often hilarious (can I say that, readers? 😍) & dives deep into complicated colonial histories. On a limited time £1.99 deal & 3rd comes out soon! Grab it before it’s gone amazon.co.uk/Unladylike-Les…

@zoewilliamson__ I am now desperate to do this

For anyone intrigued, it is Oaktree Bookshop in Doncaster. This is just a shot of part of their crime fiction section, taken from their SM. Yes, its double stacked 😍

Next week I am going to a charity shop/warehouse that's about an hour away from me and they sell books at 13 for £10. The shelves look like they are heaving with choices. I'm slightly nervous as to how many I come out with 😂

@Gerrythecynic I find that too! 🙈

@AmitaMurray Try to- stayed logged off SM most of the week always helps.

I’m so burnt out from the last two years that I’m actually eating lunch these days and not simultaneously working, writing or on social media. Does anyone have any experience of this phenomenon?
