Why subscribe?

If you’re a reader, reviewer, book blogger, librarian, bookstagrammer, book club organiser, or just someone who loves stories about women, secrets, power, reinvention and natrue, I’d love to stay in touch.

Over the coming months I’ll be sharing updates here about my new novels, including behind-the-scenes notes, publication news, cover reveals, pre-order links, early reader opportunities, and anything else I’m allowed to whisper about before the official trumpet sounds.

If you’d like to hear about review copies, blog tour opportunities, Q&As, book club material, or other reader treats, please do subscribe here on Substack. This will be the best place to keep up with news directly from me.

I also write about the subtext and the techniques of storytelling and in 2026 I’ll be using my psychological expertise to look at the writing identity - subscribe to get full access to the free posts and publication archives.

I'm a storyteller. I'm also an expert in identity construction. I'm writing here about writing, subtext and how it connects to our lives as writers.
