Taking a break between drafts of my new book project to put my office back in order! Replaced curtains with neat blinds and hung some pictures. Feels like a very welcome nook to settle in for revisions.
(Now just need to decide what to do with the random pens that I just can't part with!

Welcome to the world Shelby Rey!

This book has it all: a heartbreaking story of love, betrayal, and addiction set in the gritty music world and a courageous heroine who can hear people’s deepest truths, in song form, just by touching them.

Congratulations @raynelacko ❤️

A big thank you to @Eyam museum for hosting me yesterday to record a reading of The Smallest Thing.

I’m sitting on the boundary stone where the villagers left money in vinegar in exchange for supplies during their “lockdown” in the 1665-66 plague.

It feels so good to be working on something new again. Can't think of a better place to hunt the muse than Point Cabrillo Lighthouse.

It’s been a rollercoaster start to the year with highs, lows, and everything rattling along at full speed. So it was an extra-special treat to take a sneaky Tuesday afternoon hike with Mr. Fab, just in time for the start of wildflower season.
