About Me:
I was born in Macclesfield and very rarely leave. I mainly discuss books on this channel but every now and then something else will slip through the net. I'm interested in most fiction, and enjoy books that tell stories about older characters as I feel they're often under represented in literature. Lately, I've become interesting in telling and discovering working class tales.
I have a BA in Creative Writing and have been the secretary to the Macclesfield Creative Writing Group since 2011. In 2015 I independently published my first book Our Doris. The book follows the eponymous Mrs Doris Copeland, atomic housewife, with a rock bun recipe that can make even the most secure dentures shudder. There are three sequels, Indisputably Doris, Doris Ahoy, and Royally Doris.
In 2020 I released An Heir to Murder, the first in a cosy crime series featuring Alice Valentine.
Wynd Volume 2 by James Tynion IV and Michael Dialynas

Babel by RF Kuang
