I wrote a book - out on Thursday 🥳

Happy publication day to Frances McKendrick, a debut novelist with a flair for witty prose and dialogue, a knack for gripping story-telling and – maybe most important of all – something hugely timely to tell us. We couldn’t recommend Words Fail Me more. eye-books.com/books/words-fa…
