Hello to the many new followers who joined me yesterday at the worst of times. The reason the case was able to proceed through 5 different courts was an author you all know funded it from her vast billions.
Look we might have to fight our own legal battles so don’t buy those books, but these books 🩷🩵💜.
No tea but I don’t start every sentence with a proper noun either.

We’re obsessed! 📚🌟

Delighted that SURVIVAL SHOW is Book of the Month @hmvinstagram and will available in stores all month!
My second ever job was in the stockroom at HMV Bradford so she’s come a long way, baby. In fact, the week I started I had to price, by hand, 500 CD singles of Baby, One More Time.
Thank you for supporting me, HMV. In return, I hope readers will support the high street.
A huge thank you to everyone who got their copy of SURVIVAL SHOW last week 🩷🩷🩷
Another thank you to the booksellers who’ve displayed so gorgeously and recommended to shoppers 🩷🩷🩷
We’ve gone straight into the Top 10 YA chart and I couldn’t be more grateful, it’s been a tough week for a lot of reasons so this feels really healing.
So thank you again, and keep spreading the word, ESPECIALLY to the young adults in your life. We can’t let reading for pleasure die out.
Right! The deadline for Book 2 is absolutely looming so I’m checking out for a while. Happy reading 🥹
If you were in BRIGHTON today did you see the SURVIVAL SHOW PARTY BUS? Absolutely brilliantly mad marketing from @simonyabooks and I think we can all agree she serves.
And there’s signed copies @brightonwaterstones right now if you want one.
Keep em peeled LONDON because the SSPB is heading your way in May…
The explosive return to YA from @junodawson !
Taryn Beck and her family don’t have much, and her younger brother needs vital medication to survive. Medication they can’t access or afford. So Taryn secretly enters Starmaker, the most watched reality TV show in the world.
The rules are simple; young women from all over the globe compete to join an all-singing, all-dancing pop group. If you win, a life of luxury, stardom and wealth awaits . . . But there’s a catch. Eliminated contestants are literally eliminated.
Taryn soon realises that reality TV is far from real. She and her fellow trainees are pitted against each other in cruel challenges and she is determined to expose the brutal regime and destroy Starmaker from the inside.
Get ready for the performance of Taryn’s life 🎶

It’s all yours! My dream for this book is that it finds all the 13-year-old girls who are piecing together Manon’s hiatus timeline and writing Jungkook fan fic. This one is for you 🩷
