Joined the library here in Prague. In the mornings I can travel part way with Peter across the river & then work here. I can only imagine this will be *extremely* good for my writing 🖤

New do*! Done for about 25 quid in a little neighborhood place with two chirruping birds flying around a wee affectionate dog called Foxy curled at my feet. ⁣ ⁣ I walked to the hairdresser up & down hills to rival San Fran, the cold sun shining down on the buildings the colour of sorbet & ice-cream. ⁣ ⁣ Afterwards I met Peter & we drank some wine, ate cheese, read (me) & sketched (him) & then saw some mid-week jazz. ⁣ ⁣ I love it here. Every street is beautiful. There are so many experiences to have. But most of all I'm so much happier here. Calmer. ⁣ ⁣ Last year was *amazing* but it was also relentless & often overwhelming & I pretty much lived the whole year exhausted having set up home in a place waaay outside my comfort zone. ⁣ ⁣ We don't need a lot of money here & we earn a lot less. I'm no longer subsisting on M&S G&Ts & sarnies. I cook a lot. Life is slower & I have time to walk & think & daydream & pet dogs & be excited by new things. ⁣ ⁣ I love, love, love it here & I feel so so fucking lucky to get to do this. *Please also enjoy my Soviet vintage blouse found in a factory in Tbilisi when they renovated it. It's unflattering & an extremely strange fabric & I still won't be parted from it.

🇫🇷 First press for the French edition of #Lowborn 🇫🇷 ⁣ ⁣ Of all the things I never imagined when my debut #TonyHogan was published back in 2012 (that three more books would follow, that I'd get to travel the world & write, that I'd end up doing that with a husband (!))⁣ ...I never imagined French readers would take my books into their hearts as they have or that I'd find a wonderful publisher like Editions Philippe Rey. ⁣ ⁣ Winning the Prix Femina Etranger for #Thirst legitimately changed the writing game for me. The sales enabled me time to write another book, to pitch #Lowborn and the validation gave me something that'll stay with me for my entire life & career. ⁣ ⁣ So here's my first #Lowborn interview in Le Figaro & a review in Figaro Madame with more to come.⁣ ⁣ Go well little book. As the world looks on & wonders what happened in Britain now seems like a good time for a book like #Lowborn to be on French bookshelves.

My favourite picture from last night. Taken watching fireworks from a wooden bench in Letna Park swigging from a demi bottle of Bohemia Sekt (tagline: Champagne it ain't). 2019 was wild & I can't fucking wait to see what 2020 will bring ♥️

Merry Christmas from us 3! 🎅🤶🐈 ⁣ ⁣ Today is Drag Race, a Prague Southern biscuit & bottomless mimosa brunch (idk either but if you could you would, right?) & back home to cook a big auld Christmas supper. ⁣ ⁣ Whatever today looks like for you, I'm wishing you kindness, happiness, good food & sleep & peace ❄️❄️❄️⁣ ⁣ Happy Day ya filthy animals!!⁣ ⁣ P.s. please enjoy my old lady nightie which was £2.50 in a local charity shop 👵

Some of Paris... ⁣ ⁣ Missed out is all of yesterday which was PR for #Lowborn & dinner with the publishing team (steak tartare & floating islands for 70s realness). I wish I'd for a picture of us all & that I'd taken a picture of my room which was beautiful. ⁣ ⁣ But it was a work trip & I was working (albeit with a lot of accompanying food). Still, I had a pavement cafe lunch & bought cheese & wine for Christmas. And my interviews went really well I think & were for excellent newspapers. I'll take it & I haven't forgotten to be extremely grateful for the fact that this is all happening. ⁣ ⁣ As I said in my interview this morning 'Coming to Paris & doing interviews with French newspapers doesn't usually happen for women who came from where I do.'
