I'm currently running a survey all about the Victorian author Anthony Trollope, and I'm looking for fans of his work to take part. The survey is here: forms.gle/GMTBXVvfHMcT... and will be open until 17th April.

That was a marvellous read, thank you! Sophy and Traddles 💕 And I would totally read a detective spin-off about Mr Swiveller and the Marchioness.
Your discussion of all the little tiny side characters made me think of Trabb’s boy in Great Expectations – how he makes me laugh every time.
Psst! My debut novel, The Secrets of Hartwood Hall, is 99p on ebook this month on various platforms! 🎉

I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.
Some authors want to be bestsellers or to win literary prizes, but I think my chief ambition as a writer is to one day be in the #hiddenbooksgame.
Got it! I had my head stuck on Our Evenings by Alan Hollinghurst and couldn't think of anything else!
For the mug – ignore the fact it's a mug and think about what's on the mug. The words are a clue to the title and the pattern is a clue to the theme of the book.
As ever, I am absolutely loving the #hiddenbooksgame, but I am stumped on the hair and the social calendar.
Psst! This VERY exciting new anthology all about Jane Austen is out now, and I have an essay featured in it, all about my love of Jane Austen and how it’s grown over the years. I had a great time celebrating the launch last night, and I can’t wait to read everyone else’s contributions.
I'm so delighted to be featured in this video! We were asked to briefly describe our books and talk about our favourite Austen novel. I'm at 12:46 if you want to skip to me (but really, the whole vid is fun)
This glorious event is tomorrow 🎉
Psst – The Trouble with Mrs Montgomery Hurst is 99p only on ebook right now in the UK, on Amazon, Kobo and Apple 🥳
