​I won the Good Housekeeping novel competition!

I won the Good Housekeeping novel competition! It feels so good to finally be able to say that. It’s the biggest and best news I’ve ever received and I haven’t been able to talk about it for months.

I entered the competition on a whim, I didn’t expect anything to come from it, but I wanted to keep putting my novel out into the world, in the hope that something would happen, that my novel, The Box, would find its home.

Now it has! 

The prize for winning the competition is representation by Amanda Preston from LBA Books and a publishing contract with Orion. I’m beyond excited and incredibly happy.

On 25th July 2019 my debut novel, The Box, will be published! 

You can pre-order it on Amazon, here...

​Until then, you can read an extract from the first chapter in the latest Good Housekeeping UK magazine (September 2018, although it’s on sale in August... I’m not sure I get it either). I also did an interview about my writing, life with ME and the competition in. It's page 159.

Good Housekeeping is available in all good newsagents, shops and from your local library - you can even read it digitally through the library’s RB Digital app.
​

There will be lots of news to follow, including how I got to this point - it’s taken seven years, so there’s lots to say!

I can’t wait to keep you in the loop with everything that’s happening.
