Little Disasters - events!

I’ve a novel coming out, incase I hadn’t mentioned it sufficiently, and to celebrate I’ve lined up lots of events. I’m particularly thrilled that I’ll be pairing up with Lucy Atkins, whose literary thriller Magpie Lane combines Oxford Gothic with one of the most narcissistic mothers ever created, and with Jane Shemilt, whose Little Friends is a compelling mix of Big Little Lies and Lords of the Flies.

Both these novels detail dysfunctional parenting and so dovetail with Little Disasters - my psychological drama about the darkest reaches of motherhood - extremely well.

I’m also excited that the Oxford Waterstone’s event will be chaired by Cara Hunter, whose recent All the Rage is riveting, and that I’ll be meeting Joanne Harris, chair of the Society of Authors and a multi-bestselling author perhaps best known for Chocolat, which was made into a film starring Oscar-nominated Juliette Binoche.

Further events are planned - details when they’re firmed up. In the meantime, please do come to listen to us. There is little better than discussing a novel with readers, or potential readers - and it’s such a refreshing contrast to sitting alone, staring at a screen.

And, just a gentle reminder that five weeks from publication, you can always preorder Little Disasters from your local independent bookshop, or from Amazon, Waterstone’s or WH Smith.
