[Emma Grae @emmagraeauthor]

Made the spontaneous decision to return to ⁦@moniackmhor⁩ next month to work on my third novel, ‘Cathy, get yer Dancin Shoes Oan’.

A week of uninterrupted writing time should get it to where it needs to be for a finish this year!

Plus, those views. 😍

If you’ve always wanted to write crime but don’t know where to start, I highly recommend this online course with @radiomukhers and @moniackmhor

My only question is, what night do we play cards against humanity 🤭
