Absolutely WILD to get a flurry of texts from friends last night telling me I was on the BFSA longlist!
'Junior' is one of my most heartfelt stories; male MC Jamie, having trouble dealing after another miscarriage, buys a Forever Baby, jeopardising his marriage and relationship with his bio kids.

While Cast Long Shadows did not win BFSA Best Novel, it was still amazing to have my book on a list with such high profile authors from big publishers.
Incredible work from @lunapress.bsky.social, showing how much they deserved their Best Independent Press win!
