100,000 sold copies!

April 7, 2022

More or less exactly on the fourth anniversary of my first novel being published, I recently hit the milestone of 100,000 sold copies. Some authors are lucky enough to reach that number in a year with their debut, but it took me four years and seven books to get there. And I’m very proud of that achievement, because I know how hard I’ve needed to work to get there.

I’ve realised along the way that writing is a very up-and-down business - some titles do better than others, and it’s difficult to predict how well a book will do. But I always come back to the fact that I love writing (most of the time!), which gives me the motivation to keep going, to keep improving, and to keep putting my work out there for readers. If you’ve bought and read one (or more) of my books, thank you for your support!

I’m working on some new ideas at the moment, so watch this space for news…
