My third novel called HURDY GURDY is contracted to be published mid 2024 which is pretty damn exciting. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s shorter than my other novels, and very different to them as well. Probably the punchiest description would be: feminist revenge fantasy, let’s leave it at that. It will polarise, and I expect people will like it or hate it. I don’t think it will leave people with a ‘meh’ feeling (but maybe!). One of the biggest things for me is getting the next thing published and then the one after that. So each contract is a massive achievement, especially in this publishing climate. Onwards!
Other news is Bad Diaries Salon news, but I can’t announce any of that yet. So you’ll have to stay tuned for that.
Finally, next year will see the release of Season 2 of My Mum’s Bad Diaries which I’m really excited about. If you’d like to catch up to where we are, you should start here.
