Lovely to see copies of ‘Cornwall Uncharted’ @thehistorypresslocal in the wonderful @waterstonesplymouth … hubs modelling a copy and bought a book to show my support of the industry. This has become a bit of a habit recently … spot my book, buy a book. Fair, right? 😂🎉❤️🤓😆

Had the most delightful (first) visit to @clemobooks , on a very hot and sunny day in Newquay. Signed a stack of books and got chance to say thank you to Jaimie and @sonnywalkerauthor for championing and endorsing ‘Cornwall Uncharted’. If you live nearby, are on holiday, or will be shortly, please drop by and pick up a signed hardback copy and some limited edition merch whilst stocks last!

The world needs more independents, especially like this one, doing such excellent work in and for their local community.

Then took a leisurely stroll down to Fistral beach to take the obligatory selfie. Another good day.

😀❤️🌈🥰🏳️‍🌈📚

What a day @penzancelitfest … 🎉 very early start for long drive down county to the @acornpenzance to enjoy a wonderful talk by Patrick Gale @trevilley (who I finally got to meet later during my talk!), then it was down to @newlynexchange where I bumped into @tim_hannigan1 and mum Pauline, then watched a fascinating talk by fellow authors … including @samstonewriter @emilycharlotteeditorial @thetrevaskis … in the salt & stone anthology by @hermitagepresscornwall … before my own author talk about ‘Cornwall Uncharted’ @thehistorypresslocal which was superbly chaired by @ukcoast2coast (Peter), and I met a great group of thoughtful, supportive festival-goers, including @alistair_appletons_mindsprings - my favourite presenter of BBC’s Escape to the Country! Many thanks to the festival team (particularly Graham!) and to @waterstonestru @libbyshaw77 for helping sell lots of books … It was then across to see @mattconnorhemming (and boys) in their new home, in stunning Porthleven harbour, followed by dinner and a much deserved wine as the sun slipped quietly down on the best of days! And did I mention the husband was messaging me throughout the afternoon that the amazing @arthurfery had stormed into the semi finals at Wimbledon?!? ❤️❤️❤️

Just one week to go until my next author talk @penzancelitfest! Really looking forward to being in conversation with @ukcoast2coast (Peter McAllister) in The Engine Room at The Exchange on Wednesday 8th July at 3 pm. One of the highlights of these experiences is meeting the incredible people whose own stories have been reflecting those of the historical and contemporary figures I “met” during my research for the book. Book your ticket now by visiting the link in bio or from the PZlitfest web site, and I look forward to meeting you! And if you are not free then, remember there are other events now confirmed across the summer and autumn, including a book signing event on Saturday 11th July at Clemo Books, Newquay! 🏳️‍🌈❤️🌈 #lgbtq #cornwall #queerbookstagram

Last night was a wonderful celebration, with a room full of wonderful, creative, passionate people.
Congratulations @paultm_author for the official launch of Cornwall Uncharted, with beautiful illustrations by James Innerdale.

Liskeard Library was a fantastic venue, with excellent hosts. The room was bursting with laughter and conversation 🥂

Lovely to catch up with familiar faces, writing friends, and the brilliant Katrina from @westlooebookshop and Emily from @blackcatbooks2024

Thanks for keeping me company @emilycharlotteeditorial and @paularooneyauthor 🥰

I have my copy and cannot wait to dive in! 🌈

Another very busy day out and about, promoting ‘Cornwall Uncharted’! Dropped in at the amazing @greatcornishfood to sign some books, and realised I was in esteemed company alongside the mighty @tim_hannigan1 and @petroc_trelawny! Then was a little star struck when I got to finally meet and be interviewed by @skentelbery and the lovely production team @bbccornwall … before travelling down to (a very wet and windy) Falmouth to sign some books and drop off some merch @falmouthbookseller who are also now selling my book. Thank you! The build up to next week’s launch party @theliskeardlibrary is now properly underway. Tickets for all upcoming events, including appearances @waterstonestru @kresenkernow @morrablibrary @penzancelitfest @shrewbooksfowey can be found in links in bio or by visiting venue web sites! 🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈

Happy Publication Day! Absolutely thrilled that my little book, ‘Cornwall Uncharted’ is finally out in the world and during Pride Month. Huge thanks to the team @thehistorypresslocal for their expertise, belief and support in bringing this type of title to market, to the marvellous James Innerdale @fantasticselection for his sublime illustrations, cover and colour map and to Sophie and Nicki @queer_kernow who have provided the book’s foreword and whose incredible work gave me the courage to put pen to paper! I will get chance to properly thank hubs, family, friends, neighbours and members of my writing tribe at various launch events taking place later this month, starting with a party at Liskeard Library on Thursday 18th June! Tickets for that (as well as other talks) can be booked via my bio links, as is the link to some of the wonderful retailers who have already agreed to stock the book or can order one in at the click of a button! Feeling the love on this rainy afternoon in Cornwall! 🌈❤️🥳🌈🎉
