Given the bookshelf emergency yesterday The Man went full Alpha with his screwdriver and replaced the brackets for the shelves with stronger ones. All is well in my world again. (Btw, this is the overflow bookshelf 😂)
Hard to believe it’s been 27 years since Isobel’s Wedding first came out and it’s looking better than ever with its new green cover! 🫖💒

Nice write up about SBF in the @irishexaminer.bsky.social if you were still unsure about picking up a copy! 🥹 “If you want to open your heart up and let three incredibly brave and independent women tell you their story, Secrets Between Friends could be the perfect read for you.”
Secrets Between Friends is no3 in the Irish charts for the 3rd week running! Thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy. Sx
Happy place, happy face. Taking a post publication break after Secrets BetweenFriends hit the shelves. Thanks so much to everyone who bought it and made it a bestseller. Thanks too for sending your comments—I think “uplifting “ is the word you’ve used most and I love that you find it uplifting 💕💕💕
A little insight of where the idea for Secrets Between Friends came from! Thank you to everyone who has bought the book 🫶🏻☺️
Thanks to everyone at @virginmediaireland.bsky.social for their amazing support today!
My feed is full of Americans calling for the 25th amendment. Does congress listen to the people it’s meant to represent or do they only serve Trump?
