I am considering making this newsletter more frequent to cover the gap left by Twitter, but I’m still debating on that one. I’m also on TikTok, but we don’t need to talk about that. But you’re still welcome to email me, or visit me on IG which is a much quieter space. I love talking to readers and other writers - and frankly, when my life settles I may feel better equipped to engage with Twitter fully again - but for now I’m stepping back to a more limited scope of engagement. So I’ll leave their words here, and let them speak for me. Far more eloquent people than me have written about the problems authors face on Twitter, as a platform: Nicole Brinkley and Kacen Callender are two brilliant examples. Twitter has become a more unpleasant place recently, and I find myself less equipped to deal with with it emotionally. Trying to do justice by this book, and also by my family responsibilities, has also made me reflect on how I want to engage with social media and promotion. It will still be out in 2022 though, no fear. So it is possible that the second book in the trilogy will be a little delayed, and won’t be out in May 2022 as planned, but I’ll give you all an update as soon as I know more.

Without going into detail, I have had some repeated family health scares that have meant I’ve had to prioritise my personal life. Unfortunately, life has interfered with me finishing the book as quickly as I had hoped to. No spoilers here, but it’s another thorny story, with lots of POVs, strange magic and women carving out their own power - sometimes literally. I’ve been working hard on the sequel of The Jasmine Throne. I can now reveal the title of The Jasmine Throne 2 !Īaaand I can also now reveal the title and blurb of my YA Wuthering Heights remix (drum roll please…) Some sequel woes and thoughts on social media

I’ve been blessed with some gorgeous fanart The Jasmine Throne has gone into its second printing (!!!)

The Jasmine Thron e was the Illumicrate book for May If you’ve emailed me about it, I’m working my way slowly through my messages and I’ll get back to you soon - just know I’ve seen your messages and loved them so much!īetwen The Jasmine Throne ’s release, a few life updates, and working on The Jasmine Throne ’s sequel and my YA remix of Wuthering Heights, this is going to be a big old update.

I’m so thrilled by the reaction the book has received.
