When someone takes the time to review your book and picks out favourite quotes. :) #teasertuesday #newrelease #bookbuzz #knockerupper #ya #fantasynovel
Busy in London seeing family & friends having the best time. Secretly hoping my book might be selling well. It isn't. Help me out friends. Buy yourself a copy. Read it. Love it. Review it. 😀 #newrelease #ya #BookClub #fantasy #knockerupper

Proofreading stage.😱 Is it normal to feel this anxious? Someone pour me a stiff drink! #knockerupper
La #industrialización🏭 introdujo una necesidad irritante💢 a la humanidad: despertar a una hora exacta😪🕥
¿Cómo harías para despertar y llegar a tiempo a trabajar si las alarmas no fueran aún confiables o accesibles?
Probablemente contratarías un #KnockerUpper🧵👉

A short history of the human alarm clocks of the 1800s/early 1900s, the connection between #JackTheRipper and a #KnockerUpper and an @IrishTimes employee's dog who was better than any alarm clock: https://t.co/z90LbbQ1Jt
American friends (especially). A Knocker-Upper was a person paid to wake up workers in C19th/early C20th (before alarm clocks). One of the methods was using a pea-shooter. No excuse now when it comes to marketing 'What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up' !🤣 #knockerupper #amwriting
A little snippet from 'What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up'. Lots of work still to do. #amediting #knockerupper #amwriting
Rather lovely and unexpected. Just finished writing for the day and seen I've hit 60,000 words exactly. A rewrite of an old book, something to do whilst I wait for the serious editing of the #knockerupper to begin. #amwriting #yafantasy
"Mary Smith, who used a pea shooter, was a well-known knocker upper in east London." There is a character called Smelly-Mary in 'What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up', but Alice is the knocker-upper who gets lost 'Sideways'. #yafantasy #knockerupper #WritingLife
#samplesunday #knockerupper A little excerpt from 'What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up' - due for release later 2021.
