Just did a thing…

New book coming October ’25

#bookfour #romcom

My debut had its debut TV appearance!! This is a screenshot from an episode of Handmade; Britains Best Woodworker [Channel 4]. And this is Wolfgang who made a lovely, freestanding, WINNING bookshelf. And on that winning bookshelf my debut Sweatpants At Tiffanie’s [now renamed Punch-Drunk Love] is languishing. On the telly!!! My lovely librarian friend Verity spotted it. Not an authorgoal I had ever thought of, but I am delighted.

Ten Years is now available in the US in paperback format (Delayed news, sorry! I lost my password for the website here – I KNOW, I am a Tech-lemming)

Hurrraaah!! Ten Years reached 1000 reviews on Amazon.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has reviewed the book, on The Zon and elsewhere, you are amazing and lovely and all the good things.
Reviews, no matter now short, are really helpful to writers, as they feed the Amazon algorithm. It helps new readers to find me. You don’t even have to have bought the book, or from Amazon, to leave a review there.
Other places to leave reviews if you want to support your fave authors or shout about a book you’ve loved, would be on Goodreads, Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, WHSmiths, Blackwells, any online bookstore and your library service. And you could tell the bookseller at your local indie store.
Thanks again to all who have reviewed my books! All the kisses to you 

The very next day after hitting the AuthorGoal of seeing my German edition in an actual German bookshop, (see last post) I hit another. I know, right? Greedy.  I was pottering through Frankfurt airport, waiting for my flight and as always I find myself in the newsagent/bookstore.

And they had copies of Ten Years.

On their shelf.

For real travelling people to buy. (This blew my little mind)

Obviously this demanded all sorts of photography and filming. I was almost asked to leave….

I’ve just been for a quick trip to Germany on non-writing business and popped into a lovely bookshop in Eschwege called Heinemann. And there, on the shelf, were copies of my book!! This is the German translation of Ten Years, Zehn Jahre du und ich. And yes that is a ridiculously excited me, as it was the first time I’ve seen one myself out in the wild. That’s an Authorgoal, right there!

Ten Years is now out in paperback in Australia and New Zealand, seen here, courtesy of the lovely Sandy Barker, at Dymocks. It’s an absolute thrill to see your book on a display like this.
