A week of workfright.

And a cover reveal!

These weekend posts, a glimpse behind the scenes as I write a new novel or three, are for paid subscribers. If you are a paid subscriber - thank you! I appreciate it. If not, I would love it if you would consider upgrading. It costs just over £1 a week (less if you go for an annual subscription!)

If you would like a paid sub but can’t afford one right now, email me and I’ll sort you out.

Hello! It is Saturday and the sun is trying to shine and once I’ve sent this newsletter I have nothing to do but read. Hurrah! Hope you all have a lovely day planned too.

First up today I have my writing diary for the week and then - then! - I can finally share the cover of The Harry Styles Effect.

Woo!

MONDAY

For the last three nights, I’ve woken at 4, faffed on my phone for a bit and then managed to get back to sleep until 8, which is very late for me. Today I actually intended to be in a cafe at 8, already working, but instead I didn’t get there til 9.

I wrote my money Substack and drafted a few more, read a chapter of This American Ex-Wife by Lyz Lenz (research for Dead Frog Lane), and then it was time to go to the cinema to see La Chimera.

I’ve got workfright since I haven’t written for a couple of weeks, so I’m using one of my tried and tested methods to get over it - start with 100 words and increase by another 100 each day. So…
