Love thrillers? Love theatre? Then I highly recommend coming to see The House She Built - an original piece. ✍🏻 Fantastic script. 🎭 Excellent cast. 😱 Guaranteed goosebumps. To find out more follow Nerve Theatre on 📷 🟦 🎟️ www.ticketsource.com/nerve-theatre #TheatreSky #Drama #Northants

I think I need a bigger bookshelf for all my Wordsworth and Puffin classics… maybe I combine them with my Penguin clothbound classics? 🤔 What do we think? 📚 #BookSky #Bookish #Shelfie @penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social

Got home at 4am after a friend’s birthday but still managed to get up and clear the garden so I can now sit here and read. 💖 What’s everyone reading? #BookSky #Readers #Bookish #BookTok #Bookstagram

Absolutely loved The Jonathan Larson Project last night @swkplay.bsky.social - such great energy from the cast and wonderful to hear so many of his songs. I’d only heard two of them before and the whole production was brilliant. #TheatreSky #Musicals

Happy International Non-Binary People’s Day! Thank you for being authentically YOU. 💛🤍🖤💜

Not long until #TheakstonCrime - one of the highlights of the bookish calendar! 📕 Is anyone else making the journey to Harrogate? 📖 Not me watching the below on repeat because I’m so excited! 📚 www.instagram.com/reel/DMnZBHu... #BookSky @edpr.bsky.social @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social

This is criminally cheap. Also insanely beautiful. And dead good. 💜 Recommend. 📖

My Gold Dagger award-winning novel, The Book of Secrets is in the Kindle 99p deal if you fancied some discount historical poisoning. Books in book shops also available, but the idea of these promotions is to ‘raise visibility’. Reviews also help. Unless they’re shit www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Secrets...

Fabulous time seeing @thelilyallen.bsky.social slay tonight. 🤘🏻 Also gave into temptation and bought a hat because life is short. 🧢 Because of train issues my journey has included: my car - a bus - a train - a tube - a boat - a taxi… and I’m still not home 🙃 #4ChanStan #WestEndGirl #MusicSky

Ooh I must read this! The Favourites by @laynefargo.bsky.social is brilliant and I actually reference it in my current WIP, so I shall get this one post haste! 📖

Except for the sociopathic murders, @laynefargo.bsky.social ‘s They Never Learn is so realistic. If you want to know what it was like to be a female college or grad student in the 90s-00s, this is it. Maybe it’s still like that; I don’t know. I hope not.

Tell me five random things that you love (not people / pets) - that new book smell - the anticipation before curtain up - a baby’s giggle - clean bedsheets - singing in the car Plus many other things… 😀

Tell me five random things that you love (not people/pets). - 1960s fuzzy guitar riffs - honey - Vanilla or Cherry Coke - clouds, all sorts - the sound of French sung, Italian spoken

Look at this absolute ridiculousness! 😍💚💎 All collected from the same beach! No saturation! #RockOfTheWeek #Beachcombing #NorthWales

Key advice: trust your subconscious! 🥰 I think a lot of us forget this but it’s absolutely true! ✍🏻

The inimitable Jennie Godfrey is always a treat on a panel, and interviewing two fabulous authors @clareleslieh.bsky.social and @hattiewilliams.bsky.social this afternoon @capitalcrime.bsky.social Secrets, lies and toxic relationships… #BookSky #AuthorSky

Day 2 Dark, gothic fiction unleashed… cannibals, ghosts and fear… 😬 A perfect combo and some brilliant books here! 🐑 🖤 @essiefox.bsky.social @capitalcrime.bsky.social #Macabre #GothicBooks #Cannibals @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social @spookypurcell.bsky.social #WutheringHeights

Great question about celebrities writing books and not acknowledging their ghost writers… ✍🏻 Long story short: They absolutely should. 👏🏻 @capitalcrime.bsky.social #CapitalCrime #ThrillerBooks @ellygriffiths.bsky.social

Love a time slip story… both of these books sound excellent! Managing multiple timelines is very tricky but if your characters are strong enough the reader will still come on the journey with you. @ellygriffiths.bsky.social @capitalcrime.bsky.social #ClaireDouglas #ThrillerBooks #BookSky

Let’s go @capitalcrime.bsky.social - 1st panel: ‘realities of the publishing industry’ comparing writing a novel to acting! As someone who does both I fully agree - character development, imagination & a thick skin! 🎭✍🏻 #CapitalCrime #Publishing @alisonbarrow.bsky.social @dhhlitagency.bsky.social

Who else is heading to @capitalcrime.bsky.social this weekend? 🔪 Hope to see lots of readers there for a fab few days of panels. 📚 Check out some of the bloggers reporting on the event… ✍🏻 #BookFestival #BookSky #CapitalCrime #WriterSky

This was incredible! 💔 Fabulous portrayal of Judy Garland by @thejinkx.bsky.social @sohotheatre.bsky.social Walthamstow and so much inspo for our roles in upcoming Golden Age thriller 💖 #TheatreSky #Stagey

Is it possible to opt out of all football related marketing? I have zero interest and yet every app and organisation feels the need to shove the World Cup down my throat… ⚽️ No? Just me? 😅 OK I’ll get back to writing my next book. #WriterSky #BookSky

Am also now the co-chair of the Pride Affinity group at work. 🌈 If anyone has any ideas for how we can share knowledge and support people in a corporate environment I’d love to hear more. How does your company support people within the community and encourage people to be allies?

Curtain down on Macbeth… Rehearsals start tomorrow for the next one: an original 1950s thriller set in Hollywood! I’m so excited 🎥 💄 Reading scripts is still reading… 😅 and I am still working on my books too ✍🏻 How is everyone doing? 💙☁️ #TheatreSky #Drama #BookSky #WriterSky

This was phenomenal. Inspired by Anne Lister, Gentleman Jack is a great example of a modern ballet. Loved the music, symbolism and physicality of the performance. @northernballet.bsky.social @sadlerswells.bsky.social #TheatreSky #Ballet #PressNight @theatreandtonic.bsky.social

Back from a business to trip to Mexico followed by a writing retreat on Chiloe, then a little tour of Chile! Managed to reach 26k on my WIP which is good 😊 How’s everyone getting on? #Wanderlust #AmWriting #WriterSky

Kudos to everyone working / living in their second language. It must be exhausting… I’ve been doing it for just a few days and my head is fried. You’re all rockstars!
