What happens when your main character finally gets the chance to confront you about everything you put her through? 😂

Meet Naomi. I created her, ruined her perfectly normal day, dropped her straight into the end of the world… and apparently she has some thoughts about it.

Seeing the opening of Ashes of Eden come to life like this is honestly WILD. And now I’m wondering how much more of the book I can bring to life… 👀🔥

Would you watch Part 2?

Apparently even when I’m on holiday, I’m still collecting stories 😂📖👻

We did the Salisbury Ghost Tour tonight and I genuinely enjoyed it so much more than I expected to! An hour and a half wandering around this beautiful city, hearing some of the darker stories and history behind the buildings… with a little bit of ghost hunting thrown in too. 👀

Huge thank you to Wes for being such a brilliant guide — really friendly, informative and entertaining, and you could tell how much he genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time. We definitely brought the energy 😂

And honestly, as an author, this is exactly the kind of thing I love. Old buildings, strange stories, history, atmosphere… you never quite know what little detail is going to plant the seed for a future story.

Such a fun evening. 👻

Sometimes stepping away is exactly what you need. ❤️

I didn’t plan to disappear from social media for a while… life just happened. Between family, our animals, client work, and simply enjoying the summer, posting slipped down the list.

Of course, I had that little voice telling me I “should” be showing up more. But I’ve realised that living your life isn’t something to feel guilty about. In fact, it’s usually where the best stories come from.

If you’ve been beating yourself up for not posting consistently, this is your reminder to give yourself some grace.

Anyway… I’m back. 😊

I genuinely can’t believe I’m only just telling you this…

Ashes of Eden is officially available as an audiobook! 🤍

Hearing these characters come to life has been one of the most surreal parts of this whole journey. A huge thank you to everyone who has already listened, shared it or supported my little debut novel. It honestly means more than you’ll ever know.

And the biggest thank you has to go to .narrator . Thank you for pouring so much time, care and dedication into this project and for bringing these characters to life so beautifully. You captured the heart of the story perfectly, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better narrator. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done. ❤️

If you’ve been meaning to read Ashes of Eden but never seem to find the time, maybe this is your sign to listen instead. Whether you’re on a walk, driving, gardening or just curled up with a cup of tea, I’d love to know what you think if you give it a listen.

Thank you for being here and cheering me on. This really is a dream come true.
