My Je-ze-bels (Jen, Zelda, Isobel) have a whole new paperback outfit. I love it. Thanks to @LRWakefield for designing.

Out 21/3 and available here: https://t.co/Qa1N4t6cBL

My book ANOTHER LIFE about the relationship between a JW and an unbeliever is just 99p on ebook today via Amazon.

Very honoured that both Sara Cox and Giovanna Fletcher absolutely loved it.

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

The ebook of Another Life is 99p for today only! I mean, I’m not sure how I feel deep down about work that took several months to make costing less than a coffee, but I’ll try to ignore that today. And this is a great deal for you, the reader, and your device. 🙌

A v close family member told people I was bipolar, simply because my ability to stand up for myself didn’t fit in with the meek & submissive female role I was meant to play within my religion.

I called him out on it & he cut me off. I was “toxic”. Women are always the problem.

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

‘The book is written in a really sensitive way, she doesn’t badmouth the [Jehovah’s Witness] religion but it’s done in a respectful way.’

I wanted to be respectful while doing justice to my own experience. And I’m so glad #BetweenTheCovers loved #AnotherLife. Episode on iPlayer.

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

I’m so chuffed that my debut novel #AnotherLife has been chosen for #BetweentheCovers book club show with @sarajcox. What a dream. Huge thanks to @amandacactus @pollyanneconway @Matineegirl & my team at @MichaelJBooks.

This Monday, 7.30pm @BBCTwo

I'll be talking to Jodie all about sibling grief, and how her life growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, inspired her book about forbidden love. If you're looking for a moving, unique bit of summer fiction, I hard recommend!

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

Join me in this @BookBarUK virtual event w Paul Mendes (Rainbow Milk). Paul and I were raised in the same religion & our novels both touch on the nature of faith, as well as love, desire and wrestling with the parts of yourself that you can’t hide.

@MichaelJBooks @dialoguebooks

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

V much looking forward to this event w Pandora Sykes @PINsykes next week. I’ll be talking about #AnotherLife and the inspirations behind the novel, as well as how my upbringing as a Jehovah’s Witness shaped my writing and the character of Anna.

I’ve had so many amazing messages from exJWs since this went out in the UK press, one of whom said they woke up after seeing all the peaceful protestors outside the London convention & thinking “they can’t ALL be lying”.

The activism is working!

@jwgoverningbody @Larchwood20 That’s me. 🤪🙌

Jodie Chapman tells @MeadhbhMcGrath how having the strength to step away from the Jehovah’s Witnesses allowed her to write her debut novel — and why she is nervous about her mother reading it

HOT OFF THE PRESS

Look what’s arrived. Totally thought I would be cool when this came. Totally wasn’t.

But look. Just look at this beautiful thing.

Not bad for someone who never went to uni and hadn’t written a complete story since she was 14. But then, this is #AnotherLife 🎟

[Jodie Chapman @jodiechapman]

I’m delighted that #AnotherLife has been chosen as a book club pick for the next series of #BetweentheCovers on BBC2 with @sarajcox (Books on telly! Friday nights! Peak time!) What an honour.

Huge thanks to @MichaelJBooks for my celebratory cakes. 🧁🎟🥂

[Tigerlady2000 @tigerlady2000]

My novel ANOTHER LIFE draws on my own experience of being a Jehovah’s Witness. Out in April with Penguin, you can pre-order here: https://t.co/7ZiK1DtHOS

(You don’t get charged with preorders until it ships & then it feels like a gift to yourself when it lands on the mat!)

[Tigerlady2000 @tigerlady2000]

@ali_l_millar Thanks, Ali. So exciting to hear about your memoir. Bravo 👏

[Tigerlady2000 @tigerlady2000]

Excited to share the cover to my debut novel which tells the story of Nick who falls in love with Anna, a Jehovah’s Witness.
