Hello all,

Now January blues are out the way and we find ourselves in the season of lurrve, I hope you’re all doing fabulously well and looking forward to the longer brighter days ahead and the bags of potential 2023 has to give!

Me? I’ve been having a whale of a time these last few weeks and with so many exciting things happening, I thought it was time for a pitstop. So grab a cuppa and let’s catch up!

Briony Marshall’s Blind Date.

Thank you to all who came to my event as part of Wolverhampton LitFest on the 4th Feb. We had a blast! Despite a few hiccups along the way, my event was a huge success! And most importantly, from the feedback I’ve received, everyone had a fantastic time. Special shoutout to my team for the day and the LitFest staff for all their help, support, time and effort. My show went by super smoothly after all and it wasn’t without the help from all of you amazing souls. Here’s a few pictures for those that couldn’t make it. I feel they capture the essence of the day perfectly.

From Rags to Richie paperback launch!

Yes you read that right, From Rags to Richie is finally available in paperback! I was so happy to be able to tie in the launch of my with my first event of the year as a little surprise bonus for everyone who could make it to LitFest. It made the day even more special. You can get your hands on a copy now from all my usual places. But I’ll drop the direct link HERE, in case you just can’t wait any longer! (Also, check out my new snazzy headshot. What do you think?)

A new rebrand is coming…

Speaking of new headshots, they’re a part of my rebranding. Now that I’m a two book author (?!) I feel a rebrand is well overdue. As much as I have loved and adored the Unravelled aesthetic, it’s time to not have a bias. I’m not just marketing one book anymore, but myself as an author. (I know, right? I’ve had to put my big girl pants on for this one! ) So you’ll start to see signs of it pop up over the coming months, watch this space! Some of the more eagle-eyed among you may have already spotted a few bits and pieces. I have a huge overhaul in the pipeline. But with big personal life things happening alongside all of this (more on that as it develops!) I’m not going to pressure myself with a deadline that I may not be able to keep. So we’re going with a casual blend. But come along on the journey with me, it’s going to be a bit of a metamorphosis. A definite milestone in my author journey, it’s going to be a good one.

I went on holiday to the forest and took the opportunity to make some content!

January was also mine and Liam’s first wedding anniversary. And to celebrate we went on a super romantic getaway to a cabin in the woods. I, of course, also took this as an opportunity to make some content for you guys. If you haven’t found me on TikTok yet, now is the time! (You can find me HERE.) As I’ve been jumping on those trends and having some fun with it. Also, I was able to set up the perfect shot for a little taster of what life would be like this Valentine’s Day with Richie Clarke (my new romantic lead) … you’re welcome.

And I believe that’s us up to date. Let me know what you’ve been up to kickstart 2023. And what are you most looking forward to in the coming months?

Until next time, Happy Valentine’s!
