Welcome,

If you’re here, it’s probably because you saw the words “Burnt Out”. I am burnt out. I’m still writing, but slower. I’m working on recovery, and struggling to figure out what that is and how I achieve it.

I burnt out writing 14 novels and 5 novellas in a niche genre over three years and now I’m reinventing my career while backing away from those things that caused my burn out in the first place, including more traditional social media, so Substack is the only place you will find me.

I’ll be journalling about my burn out, my recovery, my writing and life. Subscribe if you’re interested and welcome.

As for me? I live in an old Derbyshire market town with my husband, Jonathan, and our two cats Harley and Quinn.
