Skylark is now out in paperback!!! To celebrate I have six copies of the book to give away to subscribers of my newsletter. Sign up on the link below, competition details go out at 2.30 this afternoon... happy reading!! http://eepurl.com/cHT0gb

It is nearly time for the paperback! My novel Skylark comes out in pb on June 9th, which is the week after next. You can preorder it now https://lnkd.in/etxYy8-k. It's a book set in the 1990s rave scene, inspired by the spycops scandal, and it's about love and deceit and idealism. Some of my literary heroes liked it: the crime writer Jake Arnott called it "essential reading", and Jay Griffiths called it "a book of profound psychological perception." If you haven't read it yet, give it a try! And if you like it, tell your friends. 🎉🎉🎉📚📚

A big thank you to the Brighton Book Club @RadioReverb for featuring an interview with me about Skylark. I loved talking to Anna Burtt about all things fiction and spycops - and this episode also features interviews with Melissa Fu and Nofel Nawras. You can listen to it here: https://lnkd.in/dtqkvUmy

I am delighted to be doing an event in my old stomping ground, the celebrated Stoke Newington Bookshop. Talking about Skylark, plus books life and the world (maybe!). It's next Monday, arrive at 7.30 for a 7.45 start. Tickets on the door but do email or DM me if you're coming, so I can let them know about numbers. Hope to see some of you there.

This is an excellent review. Excellent in the sense of 'positive' but - more satisfyingly still - in the sense of 'the reviewer has deeply engaged with the book'. For a sense of what Skylark is all about, read this one. Thank you to Max Dunbar and Shiny New Books https://lnkd.in/eFsNyBjC

Wonderful to get this lovely review of Skylark in the Observer today. Thank you to the awesome Alison Flood!

Launch event 🚀 I'm talking about Skylark at the Lewes Literary Society ONLINE tomorrow at 7pm. Book your tickets here https://lnkd.in/ewq6GaYg

Hardbacks arrived, looking and feeling to me like a lovely warm sunrise... Skylark is out on Thursday (supply chain permitting)!

I'll be talking about Skylark, On The Up and my journalism at the Lewes Literary Society on 23rd November. @lewes.lit is a distinguished society that has been running since 1948. During that time it has hosted authors including Tom Stoppard, Beryl Bainbridge and Ian McEwan. So I could not be more delighted that this is my first event for Skylark. It's online, so you don't even need to be in Lewes... See the society's website for more info and ticket booking. #authorsofig #preordernow #preordernovel #authorsofinsta #writersoninstagram #booksworthreading #feministbooks #readingwomen #booklaunch #newnovel #bookbloggers #bookreviewers #skylark #skylarknovel #authorevent #lewes #leweslife
