    My MIL recently got the iron out while we were staying and my daughters had no idea what it was 😂. This is my proudest parenting moment

    Takes a special kind of literary agent to spot a lone author in the Bloody Scotland bar looking for a friendly face & spend an hour telling her why her career is fucked, “to be helpful”. I’m all for being real about this industry but there’s a way to do it. Don’t be a dick.

    Pick your bestselling author quarantine house. I've seen one of these floating about for dead authors - but why should they have all the fun? Here's one I've thrown together. House choice and reasons, please! #Quarantine

    Does anyone else use the term 'earwigging' instead of 'eavesdropping' or is this one of the weird words I've inherited from my family? eg. 'Stop earwigging' or 'I caught her earwigging'.

    In contrast, it takes a special (very lovely!) pair of book bloggers to come up to an author at the #BloodyScotland bar and tell her they loved her book ❤️. You made my weekend @FranMcBookface and @susiesbookrevs

    Swim, steam, sauna. Scallops and red mullet. It would be a fine day with just that but as I left for my swim this morning, I had a letter through the door telling me that I do *not* have cancer (following a biopsy done during my operation last month). Grateful x a billion 🙏

    She's here! #WhatJulyKnew is out today - thank you so much bloggers, fellow authors, reviewers and all of my readers for your support. I hope you enjoy the book 💛 (Sorry I can't reply to all your lovely messages atm, shingles has done a bit of a number on me.🤕)

    Not something I expected to be saying... If I Die Before I Wake has only gone and got itself picked as @waterstones Thriller of the Month! Pinch me, punch me, I must be dreaming. emilykoch.co.uk/2019/03/01/if-…

    Feeling embarrassingly emotional. Spent the pandemic writing what I think is my best book but it’s been bloody hard, obviously, and today I finally got to chat properly to the brilliant @HarvillSecker @vintagebooks team who will be its champions. Let’s do this 🌟🌟🌟

    Offered to host a mini family afternoon tea for my mother’s 70th, forgetting I am def not a gifted baker. I don’t want to buy stuff in. Never made scones before, do these look like they’ll be ok?! I think I need you to say yes

    Me: “Guess what? My book is out today.” 2yo: Me: “You know, the one I’ve been writing?” 2yo: Me: “Woohoo!” (Enthusiasm lacking.) 2yo: “What’s for breakfast?”
