You wait ages for clients' finished copies to arrive, and then two come together. Delighted to get my copies of #Lightborne by Hesse Phillips (they/she) (@AtlanticBooks) and #Parcelsinthepost by Fiona Neary (@NewIslandBooks), both publishing in May.

The stage is set. The players in position. Has Kit Marlowe made a deal with the devil?

A stunning debut on queer love, betrayal and survival in the Elizabethan Age from a vital new voice in historical fiction, Hesse Phillips.

Such a thrill to get the finished book in hand! And the dog certainly should be chuffed😁. Congratulations Hesse Phillips (they/she), for your monumental achievement. #Lightborne is out on 2 May, can't wait for you all to read it!

The bookmail every author looks forward to most of all! After 10+ years, I can't believe LIGHTBORNE is a thing I can hold in my own two hands. My dog seems pretty chuffed too.

A new #2024Debuts #shelfie with a beautiful fluid feel! So excited to dive in Voyage of the Damned as soon as I finish So Let Them Burn (which is fantastic by the way). Titles and authors in thread!

This fantastic blog post brought to my attention the fact that #Lightborne is finally available to pre-order. I had the immense privilege of reading an early copy and it is one of the most beautiful works of fiction and queer history I've ever read. Buy this book

Every year, I spend #LGBTQHistoryMonth scrolling through lists of Great Queer Peeps of History and wondering why Christopher Marlowe isn't on them. Well, I had a think about it, and I think I know why, and if you have a few minutes, I'll tell you.
