I love chancing upon community libraries. This one is on Southover St in Brighton's Hanover district. Southover St is one of the city's steepest thoroughfares so now people slumped on the chair for a rest can open the box door and pull out a donated book to read.

A gripping novel by @cathrynkemp about a real life herbalist who supplied undetectable poison to women who needed their brutal husbands dead. The writing is so vivid I could imagine the smells, sounds & sights of mid-17th C Rome & Palermo where it is set.

I describe my fiction writing as #GlamorousJollity (amusing stylish characters who revere art, culture, food, drink & happy times.). I'm always looking for fiction to read that fits into that genre. If you know of any, would you please send me recommendations? Thanks!

A witty romp, mixing magic, footwear & all things fabulous. Sole Brethren tells the story of Cordelia & her glittering life threatened by the unintended consequences of an invention she thought was a good idea at the time - 3D wearable holographic shoes #mybookpitch

Very exciting - my novel 'Sole Brethren' snuggled up with a best seller by the inimitable Jackie Collins. One of my friends spotted it in a 'take a book, leave a book' outdoor library on the beach at St Jean Cap Ferrat Like Lady Boss, Sole Brethren is excellent beach reading!
