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

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.
