US & Canada readers, needy author request! The Lost Passenger’s the first of my books published on the other side of the pond and I’m not there to see it in bookshops (& maybe sneakily move it to a table 😹). If you’re in Barnes & Noble or any bookshop I’d love a photo of it

@AmandaGeard Congratulations! X

Order in the chaos? Book 3 just left the building!

@ShortBookScribe Not bad, thx! Hope you are too x

@novelthesecond I'm sure! Hope all's well with you, Jacquie 😊

My pre-order of #TheLostPassenger by @franquinn arrived yesterday from @foxlanebooks (always an excellent service). This book sounds right up my street and look at those gorgeous spredges 🤩 #BookPost out now.

@carolinelamond It’s on my TBR!

Ups and downs of being an author: - a bestseller flag back on Amazon 🙌🏻 - a review which says ‘I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone’ 🤣

@carolinelamond 😂

It was something of an honour to be interviewed by one of my #Brighton neighbours Ann Wroe, who is not only an acclaimed historical biographer, but also the obituaries writer @TheEconomist ! Pleased to say I was still alive last time I looked 😂 The Secret Photographs out now 📚

@franquinn 😂😂

It’s getting like a fever dream on here today 😹😹😹

‘Find a job you love & you’ll never work again’ is the adage & if the job is interviewing brilliant writers about their latest books, I agree! (Writing itself is a whole other matter haha 😂) Come along, it’ll be fun! Tix below ⬇️

@HelenParusel @KemptownBkshop @mariateresabof2 Thanks, Helen - and happy new year to you 😊x

@novelthesecond @KemptownBkshop @mariateresabof2 Congratulations! And Happy New Year, Jacquie x

One of the best things about living in Kemptown in #Brighton is the @KemptownBkshop I made my first friend there when I moved here 4 yrs ago! So very chuffed to have The Secret Photographs as one of @mariateresabof2 books of the year! 📚🎉

@novelthesecond I knew I should have dressed in more elegant attire than a down jacket 😆 but the pose is pretty spot on!

An impromptu bandstand rendezvous with the lovely @AmandaGeard today. It was a bit chilly for seductive Golden Hour poses as per my novel, but love this one 😊 #Brighton #writers #writinglife
