I called into the cafe I base my book one on, which indeed sells Grace's favourite, sausage sandwiches (but alas no Vicky sponge). However, their menu does settle an argument: A teacake doesn't have currants in - a currant teacake does. Let the debate commence!

Another 5* review from an Ebook reader. This means so much - thank you if you come to read this.

Locals (& Visitors) - The Indiculous Grace Dunn is now available from The Book Corner in Piece Hall, Halifax! Please support your local bookshop (and author 🙏) and spare yourself the costly P&P. Or even make my day and post a photo of yourself with my book there.

The Indiculous Grace Dunn is not fully launched yet, and I have my first review: 5 out of 5 stars - Great characters "This book brought back personal memories of characters from my childhood, sad, tough lives but also uplifting. I couldn't put it down once I picked it up 😊"

People smiled at prettiness. Afforded it better manners – more money. And pretty voices and pretty babies … but what about them who didn’t look or sound so comely? The Indiculous Grace Dunn is NOW available on Kindle for the introductory price of £2.99.

I have more news! Amazon have just announced that The Indiculous Grace Dunn Ebook is now live! What turns a young girl into a market-roaming bag-lady? Grace's story will break hearts ... and then mend them. Prefer paperback? The Great British Bookshop has it, now only £10.99

I have news! The paperback version of The Indiculous Grace Dunn is now available via The Great British Bookshop for £11.99. It will be available on Amazon in the coming few weeks. The Kindle Ebook will be available by 1st of June for £4.99. Here's hoping Grace is loved.

Here's a peep at what's coming - imminently ... what do you think of the cover?

I've just given the thumbs up to the cover of my upcoming debut novel, soon to be revealed! It's been a long, long time coming after losing my agent during covid. Since then, I've made the bold decision to go Indi and joined Alli. Watch this space - preview coming soon!

Currently thick into researching the best way to self-publish my debut novel. Watch this space - and wish me luck.

Hooray! A new title is found for Grace - thanks for your input, as ever @debialper.bsky.social . I am now in the process of pitching to agents, and will unveil the title once any interest is shown. Wish me luck!

How can an author of so many chapters, and competition winner of three short stories, struggle so badly with a book title of so few words? So-o frustrating! Once I get my brain into gear, I am ready to pitch to agents. Come on, title, where the hell are you?

Apologies that I haven't been using Bluesky despite so many of my friends being here. Note to self: get yourself out there!
