Should all stories have a happy ending? This is a rhetorical question by the way. The Hangman's Turn shows, not everything ends on a generic note. #Newedit #Thehangmansturn #thelionschamber #Author #Readers #writers #bookstagram New Edit coming soon!

Someone said writing four projects simultaneously isn't possible. I said hold my tea. #WritingLife #Screenwriting

Georgian Nottingham. Lace barons vs Luddite rebels. Whose side are you on? ๐Ÿ”ฅ RT if you'd watch this. #TheLionsChamber

Someone asked if The Lions Chamber was inspired by Peaky Blinders. Peaky Blinders is set 100 years after The Lions Chamber. Just saying. ๐Ÿ˜Œ No, Peaky Blinders is brilliant. TLC is Georgian different. #TheLionsChamber

The industry moves slowly. I watched a snail make it halfway up a director's back once. We're about there. ๐ŸŒ #TVIndustry And no, I said nothing.

Pitch meetings where someone says "it's a bit niche" about a story set in England about English history for English audiences. Right. #TheLionsChamber #GeorgianNoir

The Luddite riots started in Nottingham. Not the north. We just let them have it. 1810. #TheLionsChamber #History

Nobody is making Georgian noir set in Nottingham. I found that unacceptable. So I fixed it. 72 episodes later. #TheLionsChamber

Half term. The kids are home. The edit continues anyway. We do not negotiate with half term. #WritingLife #AuthorLife

I received a beautifully written, deeply flattering email today about my work. Paragraphs of genuine praise. Masterclass. Deeply moved. Intellectually resonant. They wanted to host me for an exclusive 50-minute virtual session. They called it "The Grim Nottingham Series." It's called The Lions Chamber. Know your work. Know your series name. And maybe don't use ChatGPT to write your outreach emails. Side note, if you email me, I will be googling your name with the word SCAM next to it. Pessimist, maybe, realist, most definitely. #ScamAlert #WritingLife #TheLionsChamber #AuthorLife

One month ago, Hostile Lands launched. Thank you for every read, every share, every message. You are the reason the fire stays lit. Bentik isn't done yet. Neither am I. ๐Ÿฆ…โš”๏ธ #HistoricalFiction #IronAge #NewRelease #BookTwitter #IndieAuthor #RomanBritain

In 1810 Nottingham the lace trade wasn't just commerce โ€” it was power. Thread by thread. ๐Ÿงต #TheLionsChamber #GeorgianNoir

Nottingham calls itself a City of Stories. The Lions Chamber was written here, set here, and ready to show the world what that means. We are the city of rebels #Nottingham #Nottinghamshire #history

Behind the scenes โ€” Book 3 exists in my head already. Yorik. Seren. Keely. Eoghan's fire. I won't leave it five years this time. Probably. ๐Ÿ˜„โš”๏ธ๐Ÿฆ…

Did you know Nottingham had a thriving Black community in the 1800s? Real history. Real people. In The Lions Chamber. #Nottingham
