I’ve noticed a creepy phenomenon since publishing my second book #Heiresses that was not a thing back when #BlackTudors came out in 2017. I get these weird sucky-up emails that must have been written by AI claiming they will get the book the audience it deserves… anyone else get this?

Delighted to be there for this exciting announcement! Congratulations to Hannah Durkin. 🥂🥂🥂
