As an avid reader of the @bookabookshop email newsletter for at least the last half-decade, imagine my surprise a few days ago to see a familiar face lurking amongst their upcoming events!

Ever thought to yourself: 'Do you know, I've always wanted to spend an evening with Lora Jones'? Well, here's your chance, as the good folk at Booka are putting on this wonderful event, taking place on Thursday 20th February... which just so happens to be The Woman in the Wallpaper UK RELEASE DAY, no less!

So, if you're in or near the area and fancy attending, I'd be incredibly appreciative of the support. In return, I shall endeavour to make the night as entertaining as possible (swipe for a quick preview of the kind of 'vibe' I'll be aiming for 😉).

Tickets are available now! And, dare I say, would make the most excellent Christmas presents. Click the 'An Evening With...' link in my bio or go straight to the Booka website to buy.

I look forward to hopefully seeing/meeting some of you there, signing some books, and regaling you with writing tales old and new. 😇

A little more good news on the debut novel front this morning... The Woman in the Wallpaper has been selected as NetGalley UK's prestigious 'Book of the Month' for February 2025! I'm thrilled that, with still over three months to go until publication, my work has already received two great picks, especially given how many new releases there are each month these days. It was always my aim to write a book that, first and foremost, entertained its readers, so I couldn't be happier to hear that people are enjoying it! 🥰

If you're a NetGalley user, The Woman in the Wallpaper is available to request now, I believe! In the market for a dark, eerie mystery?... then it might be right up your street. 🧐

Excitingly, as well as hearing that The Woman in the Wallpaper was Editor's Choice in the The Bookseller last week, I also got some more great news about my debut novel... another run of 'proofs' (aka advance copies) is being printed to meet bookseller demand! From what I gather, it's not that usual for additional print runs to be done on advance copies, so I'm very pleased and grateful that so many people are interested in reading my book!

Here's the cover that has gone into print this week and will be winging its way to booksellers very soon. Amazing to see so many lovely words on the back of it from fellow authors and early readers.

The Woman in the Wallpaper is out in the UK on 20th February and the US on 4th February, and is also being published in Spain, Greece, Serbia and Russia. It's available to pre-order in the UK and US NOW! All links are in my bio.

PS Video by me. And please enjoy the very OTT accompanying music. 😉

NEWS!!! My debut novel is February pick in The Bookseller! 🥳 They called The Woman in the Wallpaper: 'propulsive', 'genuinely unputdownable', 'deftly plotted' and 'a feat of storytelling'! I poured my heart and soul into crafting a story that would entertain readers (something that is, and always will be, massively important to me), so having feedback like this is completely wonderful and a huge honour.

Did you know that in the medieval period it was commonly believed that the body of a murder victim would spontaneously bleed in the presence of the murderer? 'Cruentation' or the 'law of bleeding' was one of the medieval methods used to secure proof against a suspected murderer. Am resharing this video I made last year in honour of this spooky day. Happy Hallowe'en, everyone! 🎃👻🪦🩸🦇

A young woman see scenes from her life in the wallpaper surrounding her. But do they echo her past or predict her future?

Am finally able to share the finished cover of my debut novel The Woman in the Wallpaper (watch to the end). There are less than four months to go now until release, as the book comes out on 4th February in the US and 20th February in the UK. If you think a dark mystery set against the turmoil of the French Revolution might be up your street, then please do consider placing a pre-order (links in bio). I keep saying it, but in this currently very precarious publishing market (especially for historical fiction), every single pre-order is so vitally important to us authors, and we appreciate them very much.

Thanks, too, to all the authors who have offered quotes for this book so far, it has been beyond my expectations being able to include so many in this trailer. I'm very grateful.
