Off to eat a hamburger & drink a few Martinis with my love ♥️🍸 Valentine's is obviously pure commercial bullshit but if I may be permitted to offer a wee bit of advice? Life can be fucking rocky so grab on & hold tight onto whatever little sparks of joy are offered...whatever they look like to you. P.s. hit me up if you want a make-up tutorial for more is more is best, baby💄

Look at these joyful wee faces! ⁣ ⁣ Peter & I only get a day together while he's training so intensively so we make them count. ⁣ ⁣ This weekend: a huge walk with excellent coffee to a strange hillside grotto (in my stories), sheep cheese & vino verde at a little Portuguese place, Little Women at a beautiful indie cinema, cocktails & the next morning a walk along the river & an encounter with some tame nutria (think half rat half otter but cute).⁣ ⁣ We love this city. We say so several times daily shaking our heads at our luck in living in such a place. ⁣ ⁣ It's so beautiful, there's so much to discover, we're stimulated. But life is also slower & simpler here & we're deeply, deeply contented. Just to walk the city stopping for a coffee or a glass of wine is a proper gift. ⁣ ⁣ We've decided to stay for a while. We've started looking for a long-term apartment. Prague has fully won even my (extremely fickle) heart entirely.

I have a mammoth work week ahead so Peter took me out for a few Martinis (hic) & done Gin Rummy 🍸. *Some Gin Rummy*...2 Martinis...

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.
