- Wild excitement yesterday when The Child played Samuel Pepys and mimed burying her Parmesan.
- This morning my toddler waved at a bin lorry and the men smiled and waved back and tooted the horn for him and I genuinely don’t think he’s ever been happier.
- Beautiful final copies of #TheMidnightKing by @tariqashkanani.bsky.social are in the @viperbooks.bsky.social lair! Such a stunning novel, so proud to be publishing this in April 💙💙💙

- Despite her excitement at the outset, The Child was only moderately enthusiastic about moules by the end.
- Reposted by Miranda JewessI felt every bit of #TheRush by @bethlewis.bsky.social: the wilderness, the savagery, the loss, and the bitter determination. Immediately among my books of the year, it will stay with me for a long time. Out in June from Viper Books. Thank you so much @mirandajewess.bsky.social for the proof!

- I wish Bluesky would add the alert function on accounts. How else am I supposed to keep track of the Viper authors, little scallywags that they are?

- Reposted by Miranda JewessIt's been a while since I've been so utterly enthralled by a book, and I could NOT put this down. Three women navigate the Klondike gold rush in 1800s Canada in a powerful, moving, gritty story of sacrifice, loss, love and survival. @bethlewis.bsky.social #TheRush is PHENOMENAL. Out in June.
- Reposted by Miranda JewessTHANK YOU @viperbooks.bsky.social @mirandajewess.bsky.social MORE than lived up to expectations! I was mesmerised!! Kristin Hannah comps apt, but it also reminded me of Jane Urquhart's AWAY (one of my all-time favourites) and every great pioneer story EVER!
