Happy birthday, 'Battle Ground'!

I really can't believe this. I launched my first novel, Battle Ground, at London Olympia FIVE WHOLE YEARS AGO on a frighteningly hot and humid day at YALC.

😲 FIVE YEARS!! 😲

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has bought, read, reviewed and told other people about the book and the series. It has been an amazing five years of writing, promoting, meeting new readers – and winning two international awards. Read more of this blog post »
