ADVERTISER ARTICLE: Books to enjoy while in isolation
I was very excited to find out that my new book TAKING DOWN EVELYN TAIT was featured in the Advertiser this weekend as a good book to read while in isolation!
It is number 15 in the photo, and it is this book's first time in the paper, which is really lovely :)

GUEST POST: On working in publishing during a pandemic
I believe I've mentioned on my blog before that I was lucky enough at the very end of 2019 to get a job in marketing and publicity at my publishers, and that I now work for Wakefield Press.
At Wakefield, we are currently running a little blog diary series, about how we all feel during these strange times. I wrote an entry too, so if you'd like to read it, you can FOLLOW THIS LINK .

Thank you so much for having me on Sue! :)

Coronavirus and publishing = yuck!
As well as being an author, I also work part-time in publishing.

Here is the introduction post I wrote, if you'd like to see how we are feeling right now. You can also follow along with this new series.
