I am so sorry that ⁦⁦West Midlands Police⁩ failed to send this racist and misogynistic video to the IOPC ⁦Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)⁩.This should have happened as a mandatory referral. Bound & gagged in cupboards and mocking the Irish community is not banter! youtu.be/ZKj02Yd7Gek

I am pleased to share that Sister in Law, long listed for the women's prize for non-fiction, has been selected for a Kindle Monthly Deal, meaning for the month of June the Ebook is just 99p.

Just found a photo I had never seen before, taken the day my mum, Sally Challen, was freed from prison. Writing #TheUnthinkable would not have been possible without her. In sharing her story, she gave me permission to share mine, as an adult child survivor of coercive control.
