Sooooo incredibly honoured to be participating in the fabulous Ness Book Fest in the Scottish Highlands in October this year, alongside some incredible writers whose names I daren’t even mention in the same sentence as my own. [So here’s a sentence dedicated solely to the amazing Scottish writer ALI SMITH!]

I’ll be reading from my book, ‘and my heart crumples like a coke can’ which is ALMOST off to the printers! (Will update with release date soon.) 

Oh and did I mention my literary heroine ALI SMITH would be appearing at the festival too?

Sending MASSIVE heartfelt thanks to the sensational team Ness Book Fest – Thank you so much for having me! Can’t wait!

In the meantime, this is a pic of me in Australia staring longingly out across the ocean, directly at Inverness–– well, sort of. Not sure how excitement will be contained until October.

Are we there yet?
