Absolutely. Words matter. They can hurt and wound or inspire or encourage. I prefer to surround myself with the latter.

I sent Seeking Amazing Grace to my beta readers thinking the hard work was done. Turns out, the real climb is just beginning. Rewrites are where the story finds its strength.

October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a good reminder to check yourself.
I didn’t, and it nearly cost me my life. 💗
A few seconds could save yours.

It’s #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth 💗 I’m a stage 4 survivor—and I can’t stress enough the importance of self-checks and awareness. Please look after yourself.
Not a great day to bring youngest to London with the lack of tubes (on strike) and downpours but love Camden even in the rain. My late great friend Sara lived here in the 80s and spent many a night seeing bands at Dingwalls. Far less grungy now but still love it. Just wish Sara was with us 😢
As someone who works with words, I can never resist the lure of a good bookshop, and the Eagle Bookshop in Bedford is one of my absolute favourites. #AuthorLife #GreatBookshops #BibliophileLife #BookshopAdventures #WritingCommunity #BehindTheAuthor
Got together with fellow authors Sue Bentley, Sue Upton, Thea Bennett & Kirsty Bentley. Writing is often solitary, so it’s a joy to share the oddities, challenges & fun of this path with such brilliant women.

Looking forward to Poetry Day at the Cowper & Newton Museum tomorrow! Writing To The Ocean Floor drew me into poetry—when prose failed, words took new shapes. I’ll share poems & stories at 2pm, alongside others (and cake!).

Writers tip - get stranded in France with a broken campervan! Or find another less radical way to make space for creativity! #stranded #authoroninstagram #authorontheroad #authorlife #writerontheroad #frenchadventures
Boards ✅ Passports ✅ Camper-van ✅ France 🇫🇷 here we come. #authorontheloose #authorlife #suplove
I never planned to be a poet… but on 23 Aug I’ll be reading my work in the garden of the Cowper & Newton Museum, Olney. 🌿 Come for the words, stay for the cake. 🍰 #PoetryReading #Olney #LivePoetry
Lovely weekend with fellow local authors Julia Scott and Barrie Trinder at Weston Underwood Fair. It was a real novelty having to travel just a couple of minutes to set up!
With artist Stephen Pardue today for the unveiling of his sculpture Lace and Grace that explores themes related to John Newton’s world famous hymn. Was privileged to have contributed to the creative process and great to see the sculpture in situ. #seekingamazinggrace #authorlife #laceandgrace
In festival mode with daughter at #Brightononthebeach this weekend (minus mud, plus a hotel room! Ok not quite up to how I did in when I was Aly’s age!) #Kaiserchiefs
headlining with #Razorlight, #TheHooziers, #TheCribs + #MasterPeace. Brilliant.
Saturday night in Brighton. Love the fact that my daughter still wants to hang out with me! #lovebrighton
Anyone watch Peep Show? @thatmattkingfella.bsky.social In Brighton to see Kaiser Chief but Ren and The Big Push Band already made weekend. #renmakesmusic #brightonrocks #authorlife
Arrived in Brighton for On the Beach Festival (Kaiser Chiefs headlining tomorrow) and just been mobbed by knife stealing seagulls! Love Brighton!
Let it never be said I don’t research my books.
3 years of research, a year of travel + a year of writing.
Seeking Amazing Grace is more than a book — it’s a journey through history, faith, and the life of John Newton.

31 years ago today I married this wonderful man. I can't believe how blessed I've been to share my life with him.
This 1937 copy of Wind In The Willows, that once belonged to my father, is one of my most treasured possessions. I know it’s got my sister Charlotte’s name in rather than mine, but as a child she went through the house writing her name in every book she could get her hands on! #favouritebooks.
