I, like many others, have had their work stolen by Meta to develop its AI systems. It feels like a bully taking your lunch money and not being able to do anything about it. But, maybe we can…

Time for a bit of reality - a thread. Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills. The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter. Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.

So pleased with this gorgeous review from the very generous @adeleparks
Replying to @MushensEnt
THE VOICES by @NatalieC_Author has reviewed a brilliant review from Platinum magazine: "This gripping and disturbing novel left me rigid with suspense as the clever, twisty plot built magnificently then hurtled towards the final shocking twist.”

Not to alarm anyone but it’s PUBLICATION EVE & if anyone wants me I’ll be in a corner cuddling a cockapoo & drinking a bottle of wine with a straw. Please keep the dogs in gravy bones (& authors in vinho verde) & buy a copy of The Voices if you can! #WritingCommunity #authors

Fancy a signed AND dedicated copy of The Darkening Globe? If you order through the lovely @ForumBooks you can get your hands on one! Plus the added bonus of a glorious excuse to visit Corbridge, Alnwick or Whitley Bay, so you’d also be buying your future self a lovely day out!

Can I persuade you to preorder The Darkening Globe by sharing the books that influenced me?! Explorers’ wives, haunted objects, gaslighting, secrets, colonialism, sisterhood- all play a part! And mist. Lots of mist.
