I’ve just seen Leslie Odom Jnr in Hamilton and you can’t tell me NOTHING!! NOTHING!! It was incredible!

R.I.P. Bonnie Tyler Holding Out For A Hero was the first single I bought.* *Don’t @ me judginess - 13-year-old Dorothy and I have no regrets about that purchase

Remember that awkward 24th book I just finished? Well… my editor LOVED it! My agent LOVED it! So, yeah, I’ve still got it, babes, I’ve still got it… 💅🏾😭🤣 Seriously, though, can breathe a sigh of relief. X

Finally finished that awkward 24th book! 😉🎉 Am fit for nothing. 😴 #Book24 #DrKezLanyon #KezLanyon #Profiler #IfYoureWatchingThis

Where are my Birmingham Beauties? I’ll be down your way in 19th April, would LOVE to see you. www.theheathbookshop.co.uk/all-events/?... @theheathbookshop

‘Preferred option’ is doing heavy lifting here. This Govt is good at saying one thing to get people to pipe down and then doing another. Like digital ID - it’s still happening. When a group of us spoke to the last tech minister, he was determined to gut our copyright laws cos of the deals he’d made.

Seeing as everyone is talking about Manosphere, just a reminder that Every Smile You Fake is all about social media influencers and what happens when a family member becomes embroiled in that world. The research I did was as eye-opening as it was terrifying. www.dorothykoomson.co.uk/book/every-s...

Lovely Brighton-ish people, want a FREE fancy coffee while you take a bit of quiet time to read The Quiet Girls? I’ve got you. We’ve teamed up with the fabulous peeps at RedRoaster Brighton to give you a free coffee when you buy the book from @citybookspgh.bsky.social or Afrori Books in #Brighton

MBJ: ‘My dad flew in from Ghana to be here’ Ghanaians across the globe: 👀 (Ignoring everything else) ‘We knew he was one of us…’ 🤩😍🤣 Congratulations to Michael B Jordan on another well-deserved award. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I’m on BBC Radio 4 #looseends right now (Sat 14 March) talking all things The Quiet Girls, en-suites and the way I get back at people who do me wrong. Also got to air my upset at Pluto the planet being downgraded. Was a fabulous show with fantastic guests. Listen now or catch up on BBC Sounds 📻🎙️

If Mallory Towers & The Hunger Games had a baby, you’d get… The Quiet Girls #OneMoreSleep #TheQuietGirls #ThrillFestOnTour #DrKezLanyon

Have just caught a glimpse of the treasure at the end of the rainbow from the train to Edinburgh!! Who knew, eh?! 🤣😭🤩😍 #TheQuietGirls #ThrillFestOnTour #PotOfGold #ReadingTreasure #DrKezLanyon

It’s that time of year again…Libby’s birthday AND Ghana Independence Day… 🎂🥳🤩 No, Jack, you don't understand. Libby is short for Liberty. My birthday is the 6th March, which is Ghana Independence Day, so my parents called me Liberty. -Libby to her husband-to-be, Jack, in The Woman He Loved Before

I know I should just block and move on, but ‘people’ like these REALLY grind my gears. They prey on authors’ desire to connect with readers and take their money. . .Decided to introduce this person to the wind-up merchant side of my nature… And it worked! 🤣

🎉🎉🎉

I don’t know why he’s not laughing…I think I’m hilarious. 😅🤣 #MurdochMysteries

I crocheted my latest book a cute little off-the-shoulder jumper in its cover colours. I think she likes it. 😍 It also makes the book very huggable…and believe me, you’ll need something to hug reading some of the high-thrill scenes in this book…😉☺️ Do you love my book jumper as much as I do?
