A fab morning hatching plots and plans for my #HistoricalFiction writing workshop West Horsley Place this autumn. So much incredible history, so many brilliant stories. This is going to be a lot of fun! 😍⏳️✍️

Every weekday until the end of August I'll be reading a chapter from my latest book, 'Through Water and Fire'. Here's today's installment: a prologue in which a captain has to hide some incriminating evidence ... #Tudors 👑🌊🔥 youtu.be/Wn-KPMrLkfs?si…

Wow … Winner of North East Book Award, Hounslow Book Award AND Coventry Inspiration Book Award! All voted for by young readers. Very proud of my little book 😄 Chicken House

I loved meeting these young reader-gladiators and their classmates for one final trip into the arena before the holidays. With grateful thanks to the pupils and staff for the warm welcome and to the brilliant Guildford Book Festival #GBFSchools 👧🛡🗡

Most definitely! Highly recommended by me - in fact, I talk about Rosemary’s influence on my work in the Historical Notes at the end of Roman Boy… Walker Books Jessica Historical Assoc Mr T does Primary History 🏳️‍🌈 The Time Tunnellers

The writer's latest must-have tool for keeping track of word-counts ... #amediting

Really looking forward to this one!

Oh those sweet summer days... There's so much we'll never know about the ancient past, but some things are universal across time and place. Spend some time enjoying the sun today, and remember -- someone 10,000 years ago did the same thing ☀️

A fab day doing a spot of last minute research for the new book. With grateful thanks to the lovely folk The Sealed Knot for the chance to try on the gear. Phew but those muskets are heavy ...

Kinky boots, 17th century style. No left, no right and fitted with no-slip hobnails. Perfect for going adventuring in! 😍 #amediting #amwriting

Happy birthday, Emily Brontë. an English novelist and poet, best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights (1847). She was one of the three Brontë sisters, all of whom were writers. Check out Miriam Halahmy's The Time Tunnellers video about the Brontës! youtu.be/woF3sBrHvhU?si…

The local foxes have been having a smashing time 😬😬😬

And send ... Line edits signed, sealed and delivered. Phewee!

There's nothing quite so satisfying as a white duck ... except two white ducks ... or maybe three ...

We’re back! We’re delighted to be relaunching today as The London Archives. You can still expect free access to 1000 years of history, available to all, with a greater online presence, a new website, social content , and a jam-packed events programme + more! #TheLondonArchives

Tomorrow at IWM North if anyone is passing and fancies a chat about history writing and reading. All welcome. iwm.org.uk/events/family-…

So disappointing for the reader to receive books in this condition! And a real shame for ratings of books when it happens too. But am guessing as an author there's precious little I can do?

I've decided enough is enough. I won't be posting here anymore except to give details of my new account on Insta when set up. Thanks to all my followers and to the friends I've made here over the years. I hope to meet you in another, kinder place ... 😊👋
