Hello my lovelies,

I hope this blog finds you happy & healthy!

2025 is in full swing and I’ve got quite a bit to catch you up on. So let’s get into it!

Wolverhampton Literature Festival

I already have my first author event of 2025 under my belt! And what a smasher it was!

I returned to Wolverhampton LitFest with a brand new event (Briony Marshall: Behind the Seams) and this time around I even got my publisher involved! We decided to bring the ending of my newest novel, Hooked, to life with a crochet catwalk. It was an absolute blast. Thanks again to my runway models and everyone who helped make this one happen. You’re all stars.

My books are in Waterstone’s!

This one is a biggie! MY BOOKS ARE ON THE SHELVES IN WATERSTONES WOLVERHAMPTON!!!!

That’s right, my local Waterstones are stocking my books!!!! I’m still blown away by the fact that this is even a thing! Proud is an understatement.

All I have to say is if you put in the hard work my lovelies it pays off!

I’ve joined a book club.

Thank you @Chapter 25 Book Club for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable bookish community. Roll on next month! #book #books #bookclub #booktok

On my 2025 bookish bingo card I really wanted to join a book club. I signed up for interest in Chapter 25 last year, in March I got the txt to say they were starting a local club for me and I was lucky enough to nab a space! My third meeting is next week and I’ve already met some really lovely people and read some books I would have never even thought to pick up. So it’s doing all the book club things and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Chapter 25 for making one of bookish girl dreams a reality!

I’ve had my first meeting of the year with my publisher.

A pleasure as always, I got to meet up with my publisher back in March and hammer out our plan for the rest of the year. Let me tell you, it’s a good one. Book 4 has been given the green light. (Whoop whoop!) So I’m currently in the very infancy stages of that. And some projects that have been bubbling along in the background are finally taking shape. Eek! Watch this space guys. Things are a moving and shaking!

I’ve full embraced the world of TikTok/ Reels!

Yes, as you can probably tell from this post, I finally took the plunge into the world of video content creation. I’ve even put my face on there quite a bit… !!! I know, right?! Who is this girl? 2025 Briony is killing it!

And as an extra bonus my books are also now available on TikTok shop!

I’m hosting my own *two hour* author event in just over a week!

An evening with Briony Marshall is happening on Tuesday 20th May and you’re all invited!

This will be my first event of this kind – no festival backing, no special guest appearance slot to someone else’s event, instead this is a deep dive into my writing journey, allowing the time to talk about all three of my books in one session, as well as readings from each and a Q&A! This one is a bit of a big deal, so it’s natural to be popping my pants a little, right?

Come along if you can! I’d love to have you there. You can be my moral support. Contact Dudley Library today to reserve your place.

And if all that wasn’t enough, I have even more in the pipeline too! So if you’re not already, make sure you follow me on the socials. It’s where I post all the good stuff as and when it happens. So you can keep up to date with all things going on in the Brionyverse!

And how have you been? Got any important updates for me? Drop them in the comments below!
