It's been out a year, read by over a hundred people, but while converting Jack & Jill to a TV Script I've noticed a typo, getting my main character's name wrong. I will spend a week in writer penance for this. Forgive me.

On release day I always breathe a sigh of relief before diving back into the next project. One little Faux Pas is available. If you're after a cosy, funny dark comedy thriller with retirees as the MCs with vibes of One Foot in the Grave... I've got your back

I'm so fed up with waiting for my books to magically appear on TV, I'm turning Jack & Jill into a TV script. It might be a woke and raunchy for the BBC, plus it calls out their transphobia, so I'll send it to Channel 4 🤣

I can sit back and relax for a little while. Faux Pas is with my editor for the final proof before I start looking for ARC readers. I will spend the next 3 weeks trying to write a blurb. The hard bit 🤣

Today it's snowing. So, with "Do you want to build a snowman?" echoing around my head, I've snuggled under a blanket and cracked on with editing. It's almost ready to pass to my editor, finally. She's been bugging me for it since last year

DESERTHAUS DAY FOUR: There are not enough bookcases and the dishwasher dates from the Eisenhower administration. Farewell, sweet book advance! You are going to a better place.

My favourite joke in my current WIP wouldn't work in film or even audiobook... “What does ‘Nique la police!’ mean?” Stuart asked. Alexia’s eye twitched. “It’s not complementary, and it’s pronounced ‘nique’.” “Nique?” Stuart said. Alexia shook her head. “No. Nique.”

Working through draft 2 of my WIP, replacing the [needs emotion], [describe this], [senses!], [Put joke here], [Need a better reason why she wouldn't just go home] and realising why past me did that. It takes the same length of time as writing the first draft. Past me was a lazy dick.
