Chapter 2 of Poker Face is FINALLY up! It was supposed to be sooner but my daughter has tested positive for COVID and writing about drama and action is much harder when there's action and drama going on at home! Anyway, here it is and hope you enjoy. Please let me know what you think, if you'd like to chat and communicate here. Have the best day: https://www.wattpad.com/story/286596709-poker-face :-)

Okay, and now the first chapter of Poker Face is up too. This novel was my first love and I couldn't stop writing it. The characters jumped off the page at me and demanded their stories be told. It was the best writing experience of my life with launches, Waterstones signings and events, so I'm really happy to be sharing it with everyone here and I hope you like it too. I'll post at least one chapter a week because I'm editing as I go. That's the plan anyway! Happy reading and have a very lovely day!

The prologue has FINALLY gone up for Poker Face! Only been trying to do it since the weekend! Hope you like it. I plan to try and edit as I go and get the story up at a chapter a week. The first chapter is going up at lunch. Please let me know whether you get into it and what you think. I can't wait to find the series even more readers and connect with people. Take care and have a lovely day!

The final part of Pauline Chapman's Diary has gone up! It's doing pretty well so far in terms of reads and votes. It's early days but it's been great sharing my work again. This one was a tough one to write despite being short at about 5,000 words, but it earned me a distinction in my Masters dissertation and it deals with issues that are very close to my heart. I'm exploring what are often unheard voices here and I hope it provokes some degree of thought and feeling. Please let me know what you think, it's great to hear from people, and share if you think it's a story that needs sharing. Not sure if I'm supposed to link it, still trying to get to grips with this platform ha ha! Thank you so much for reading, it means more than I'll ever be able to put into words. Jess X

Hi Jess 
          Have found you here. Look forward to reading!! 
          I’m having a month away from SM as it’s all a bit toxic and intense… and have a lot of stuff going on Eileen x

Hi Jess.  I’ve seen a side of people that I thought I knew, that I really don’t like. Too much hypocrisy and judging… and what they think is ok for some,  appears not to be for others. But hey ho. We’re all different. It’s what makes the world go round. I look forward to reading all your “weird” stuff!! You never know I may even have a go myself !! 
            Thank you. You take care too xx

@Peasbloss ahhh Eileen, I’m so glad you found me and so sad you’re finding it all quite toxic. Of course, you’re right, it totally is! I have to force myself to take time away because it really can zap your energy and make you feel like the whole world has gone wrong. Hopefully I’ll have a fair amount up when you come back and you’ll be able to read all my weird stuff and then probably need another break! Take care of you my lovely ☺️ X
