It’s bookshop day on 11th October. A day to celebrate your local bookshop. You could even go totally bananas and buy my latest, Saltburn, which is about, after all, small businesses being assailed by big business. Well, that’s one thing it’s about… https://t.co/ZFtvbXMzBu

Congratulations! That's so exciting!
12 days. 100 copies sold. I’m honestly still trying to process it. As an indie author, the road is not easy. There’s no big marketing machine behind me, no mainstream spotlight. Just me, my words, and the hope that they’ll find the people they’re meant for. My writing

Hi #authors & book lovers. I've done no social media this last 7 weeks. Been sick all year but especially since the end of June. Sick of staring out the window, unable to walk. I need to get back to networking. Please say hi. Cheers. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting
