Gutted I can't be States of Independence today catching up with writing friends + selling books because I'm feeling grotty with a bug. 😢 I even stocked up on more copies of my collections as I'd run out. Ah well! Next year hopefully.🤞(And if anyone would like a copy, please do DM me.)

On my way home from the States of Independence - thanks to all those involved! Organised by DMU along with Dahlia Books, another of Leicester's tireless workers on behalf of literature.

A huge thank you to everyone who made it to #StatesOfIndie. It was epic! We will share pics and comments in due course. Now for a long lie down 😴 See you next year!

We're thrilled that Drew will be at this year's States and will be signing copies of his book, Saltburn. Don't miss it!
