Out now! THE SECRETS ACT. Set among codebreakers at Bletchley Park during WW2, The Irish Times calls it “a gripping read” and it’s a @dubray recommended teen read for January. @chickenhsebooks 📚🕵🏻♀️🔍

You’ll find me mainly on Instagram @alisonweatherbyauthor. I need a more positive place as I process the mess in my birthplace and try to reduce the anxiety of being on sub with my goofy, silly teen boarding school mystery. ♥️♥️

It's been so fun seeing people's take on this prompt, some folks share debut storytellers, others share older books they only just found. Just goes to show a good book can make its way to you at any time!

Had such fun breaking codes and talking books with @WellReadFoxrock students for Readers’ & Writers’ week. They’d all make great candidates for Bletchley - so clever! Thanks so much for having me. ♥️

How cool is this display?!? I can’t wait to break codes with @WellReadFoxrock’s 2nd years on Wednesday during their Reader’s and Writer’s week. But how lucky were there 3rd years to get @AshiLockie?!?
Just a tired-happy author on the train home from chatting to the wonderful 3rd Years @WellReadFoxrock’s brilliant Reader’s & Writer’s week! Fell in love with the spooky Dark Acadmemia display on the library desk, complete with old newspaper reports on yellow d paper! Need one 😍

So tired of the "America is not ready for a <disenfranchised minority> Presidential ticket" narrative.
Get ready. We are not going back.

Just a reminder to leave reviews - they matter so much! I try to leave at least one a month on Amazon, even though I strive to buy at my local indie as Triona recommends. ♥️
Reviews matter SO Much - nothing helps an author more than book recs & word of mouth.
A massive thank you to EVERYONE who has left nice comments online at GoodReads, Waterstones & Amazon (even when you bought #AGOLOD from your super local indie book shop) ❤️

Had a fab chat with the amazing @lucyirvine93 yesterday about my teen murder mystery comedy set at a boarding school with missing bodies, secret passageways, Derry Girls-like friend group, and a poorly placed gong. I ♥️ this book and I can’t wait to send it out.
