Activity

A year ago today - I was working on The Secret Thread edits & I’d escaped to Dorset, where I found the perfect book shack/library - Knoll Bookshop - on Studland Bay.

Currently sat at my desk working on a new novel, & wearing the exact same outfit minus the coat & shades & sand.

Meet Mimi Mott, one of my favourite creations, ‘the girl with grit from the potting shed’ who went on to found an interiors empire, and amass a fortune - but at what cost? And why is someone so litigiously private auctioning off her possessions, determined to tell her true story, one object at a time? But recollections DO vary… and some…

Me: It’s rainy & cold, I’ll hunker on the sofa & tackle my TBR pile.

Harry: I’ll be just here staring right at you then. I won’t blink, I won’t move. The Golden Stare.
