One of Artemisia's big sisters spent a big chunk o One of Artemisia's big sisters spent a big chunk of today trying on prom dresses and looking exquisite . It's not that Artemisia is a spotlight-hogging diva, but she made Daddy take her to the nearest shop that could tolerate her and try on pretty gowns. I think you'll agree, she nailed her look. If you were within earshot when she threw her uncharacteristic tantrum due to only getting one of them, I apologise. She was tired and had a bad tummy and doesn't understand the concept of 'no'. #fouryearsold #diva #fashion #kidclothes #gorgeous #daughter

Turns out that if you order Johnny Depp and Amber Turns out that if you order Johnny Depp and Amber Heard from Wish, you get me and Nicola Jayne. BPD, substance abuse, chronic depression... You should probably read my memoir for an honest account of how, despite everything, a relation ship suffused with mental health issues can actually work rather well.
It's precisely ten years since I launched my first It's precisely ten years since I launched my first novel. I was 'in conversation' with Prof Martin Goodman at Hull Uni and there was a lot of love in the room for Dark Winter and Aector McAvoy. A decade on, I've published 15 books, been a Sunday Times bestseller, sold half a million copies and become a Fellow of the Royal Literary Foundation. I've have two nervous breakdowns, got sober, found true love, become a dad again and gone bankrupt twice. I've decided not to kill myself, and stuck to it. Ive been physically close enough to Richard Madeley to have been able to do the world a favour. And I'm about to start writing McAvoy 11. Funny old world. Thanks to those of you who were there then, who are still here now, and with whom I hope to share my tomorrows. I will always be grateful that you enable me to be the one thing I know I'm definitely good at. #authorlife #tenyears #darkwinter #mcavoy #grateful #CrimeFiction #dreamscometrue #mentalhealth #depression #addiction #gettingby
I do tend to shine the spotlight on Artemisia on m I do tend to shine the spotlight on Artemisia on my social media feed. But my eldest daughter, who is sometimes my son, never fails to delight and inspire. They found their peaceful spot at the edge of the River Gelt in Brampton. It was a moment that made me feel a warm, healing oneness with nature. It ended when Artemisia informed Elora that if they were a part of the human body, they would be the butt....

Artemisia experiences emotions in a big way. Here, Artemisia experiences emotions in a big way. Here, we have anxiety, sorrow and disgruntlement. My favourite is the look on her face when she tells me that she's sad because she's almost finished her Wispa and it "will be over soon". #picnic #inthewoods #outwithdaddy #fouryearsold #toocute
I've been wearing collarless shirts, waistcoats an I've been wearing collarless shirts, waistcoats and flat caps for about 20 years. Felt like I owned it. Today Nicola threw this outfit together and succeeded in being hotter, cooler and generally more swag than i could ever dream. Proud, but jealous.
If anybody out there is expecting a book, a manusc If anybody out there is expecting a book, a manuscript assessment or an email from me this morning, I can only apologise. Bailey and Archie have got me trapped. I have pins and needles in both feet but I can't bring myself to slither out from beneath their blanket of oppressive love. This may be a toxic relationship. #catsanddogs #sendhelp #stuck
