My Bookish Year (2024)
WRITING
My biggest and most exciting news of last year is, of course, that I signed with an agent, Rebecca Lawrence, of the Booker Albert Literary Agency. Still chuffed. We're shopping The Redemption of Prince Charming (a Cinderella retelling) so cross your fingers for me!
In 2024, I finished the first draft of Little Mansion in the Jurassic, which came in at a whopping 140K. Most of my focus during Read more of this blog post »

| Solid Terry Pratchett stuffed with both old characters and new. This time we got to meet more of the staff at Unseen University, especially Glenda and Juliet from the Night Kitchen and Trevor and the mysterious Mister Nutt from the candle-makers. | |

| Another lovely Penric and Desdemona novella, though Cinar is very much the main character who must change. The writing is always so smooth, the characters and world very real. | |

| A drowning dystopic fantasy with body swapping magic, dark academia and spy missions. Interesting characters and good action scenes with lots of reversals. A strong ending with the promise of more. | |

"I have to." A regretful sigh. "And it's best if you don't remember any mermen." He tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear. His voice stroked her skin like velvet. "Forget me."
