- 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.

- Yes they’re great
- 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.
- 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?
[This user deactivated their account]- No, not quite as punchy!
- Just snorted at page 171 ‘letters to the editor’ @guymorpuss.bsky.social - I love Charles’ wit 😂 @viperbooks.bsky.social
- I adore those letters
- Rediscovered one of my favourite childhood books and my love of drawing pirate maps.

- THANK 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!
- It'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.
- Thank you so much Karen!!!! So pleased. And a great comp too!!
- Finished reading this and reckon I’ve found my top book of 2025 already. Think Deadwood meets Red Dead Redemption with three fantastic female leads. Absolutely brilliant stuff from @bethlewis.bsky.social. Out June - do not miss it!

- Just drop me a line once you're caught up. I can probably send you a hardback by then.
- Had my one day of holiday without the children today. Made the most of it by washing clothes, tidying, baking a cake with a carrot surplus and reading submissions. Turns out I've forgotten how to relax.🙃

- That child should not be using infant dogs to save human lives. It's irresponsible.
