I’ve just posted an unboxing video on Instagram revealing the finished hardbacks of #REDEMPTION in all of their shiny, desert-yellow glory 😍🦂💛

REDEMPTION is out in a *month*! Published on 20th June, you can pre-order a signed and dedicated copy here:

Lovely to see my short story in the Sunday Express Mag today - a holiday theme to coincide with #TheGuests publishing later this week. Happy reading! 😎🏝️

After being called out on TikTok as THE worst generation (apparently), Gen X are having a revolution over there so I added in my two pennies worth!!! 💪🏻

If you’re on TikTok, do give me a follow (if you want to!) 😄

Our Vinette Robinson 💙 is on Sunday Brunch this morning talking about #TheGathering . Tune in on C4! We just got ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ in the MoS Weekend Magazine. newspaper.mailplus.co.uk/data/4334/read…

Just finished watching this - great script & fantastic acting by the cast. Much grittier than I expected & definitely worth a watch - loved it!

This beauty arrived today. I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy and would very much recommend!

Take yourself to the Maldives for some sun, sea, and secrets...a gripping read!

I live in a thatched cottage & we’ve had to have the window aprons replaced this week - has been so fascinating to watch the thatchers turn bundles of water reed & straw into this - such a skill.

My Twitter feed seems to have much less bookish content on it these days so please tag this post with your favourite bookish accounts, share your blog posts, tell me about your latest reads or anything else book related to help cleanse my timeline! #BookTwitter 📚❤️

Oh look Nikki Smith has just added the most WONDERFUL pics to her booktrail map of THE GUESTS

I have Maldives envy!

What a great episode, I loved hearing from Stu Cummins and Charlotte about their book reviewing journey! Lots of top tips for authors who want to work with reviewers in there too📚

Thanks to everyone who responded. All copies have now been claimed BUT don’t despair: you can pre-order - publication of this fabulous book is 15 August, which will be here before we know it! 🦇🩸

Last chance to vote for THE SQUARE OF SEVENS to win the Theakstons prize!!! I would be eternally grateful if you could take a moment to vote if you enjoyed the book 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

⁩Given the barriers that face women and the working class in the screen industry, it’s very timely that Writer/Director Helen Walsh has put class privilege front and centre in World Productions #TheGathering ⁦⁩on @channel4

We need Rate parity, Flexible working & Childcare ✊🏻

A lot of women don’t have issues, but as the U.K. birth trauma report shows, many do. I haemorrhaged, lost 3 litres of blood, ended up in theatre & then ICU. Staying positive isn’t enough. Women need to be listened to & given better maternity care - as the report suggests.

One week today until publication of #TheGuests 😎🏝️ Do you fancy heading off to the luxury resort of Asana Fushi in the Maldives?
