For my first announcement of 2025, I’m delighted to say that I’ll be at South London’s Stepping Into Stories Festival on the 8th of February at 3:30pm.

The festival is currently running a short story writing competition – the theme is ‘Reach for the Stars’ and I’ll be announcing the winners before my event. There are three categories (4-7, 8-11 and 12+), and lots of great bookish prizes, so if you love telling stories, this is your chance to enter! The competition closes on the 10th of January, and you can find out more about it here.

Good luck to all the creators, and I can’t wait to visit Hearne Hill and meet you all on the 8th of February!

2024 has been very special for me and my books – it’s marked the ten year anniversary of Murder Most Unladylike, and ten years of my life as a published author. I know I say this a lot, but I feel so very lucky to have had the decade that I’ve had, and to have had so many readers discover my books. I personally think I have the very best fans in the world, a group of people Daisy and Hazel would be proud to know. I’ve loved being even a small part of your lives and your reading journeys, and I’ve loved everything you’ve shared with me about what my books mean to you. So, whether you’re a new or long-standing Detective Society member, thank you!
MMU’s tenth anniversary is almost over, but I wanted to give you one final present – MERCH! This is something you’ve been asking about for a very long time, and I’m so glad to finally be able to deliver. I’ve teamed up with LitpinsandCo to create a special limited-edition run of MMU pin badges.
The Most Unladylike Puzzle Book is publishing on the 26th of September, and to celebrate I’m going out on tour! Here’s where I’ll be …
I’ve been pretty quiet here but there’s lots going on behind the scenes – the Puzzle Book is on the way, I’m working hard on Ministry 3, and my books got a lovely write-up in the Sunday Times!
