Happy publication day to @deboc77 🥳🎉 Her newest novel DEAR FUTURE ME is out today in the US with Poisoned Pen Press📚
✉️Twenty years ago, a group of students each wrote themselves a letter - Dear Future Me - confiding their deepest dreams and their very darkest secrets.
Now the letters, thought long discarded, have begun to drop through letterboxes. For some they will make them re-evaluate the decisions they’ve made, the person they could have been.
For others, the letters could be deadly . . .🔪☠️

This summer I’m excited to publish #DearFutureMe @deboc77 a compulsively gripping thriller and captivating depiction of a community riven by secrets. Secrets that are unearthed following the arrival of long hidden letters... @ZaffreBooks
The trailer for my new book - DEAR FUTURE ME - out in the UK this June and available for preorder now!

Really looking forward to this in June, although Taylor Swift is a few days prior to the event so who knows if I will still have a voice after screaming for 3 and a half hours straight. Come along (and potentially) get to witness me doing the whole thing in mime (!).

This is where I got the idea. It was such a sweet story but my sick little brain went....'hmmm, what if there was something really BAD inside one of those letters that's been sealed up for the last 20 years....

Important and brilliant work here from the powerhouse that is Dr Louise Powell. Privileged to have been consulted as part of this and was a joy to meet and make friendships with other local writers.
Pleased to share FIRST STAGE, a report I was funded by @TeesValleyCA to write. Inspired by my experience as a Middlesbrough playwright who must always travel outside of the Tees Valley to work as a writer, it explores the area's new writing & talent development provision. A🧵

Around 9 years ago I met @deboc77 (alongside @sjheditor) at Caravan in Kings Cross because I loved her debut #MyHusbandsSon. I wasn’t able to offer on it then, so was thrilled when I arrived at @zaffre to find I would be publishing her next novels … 1/2
