Less than two weeks until the UK launch of Last Gifts! One of the things I'm most excited about is the audiobook, performed by the amazing Robyn Holdaway and Ayesha Antoine. They deliver an unbelievably incredible performance that I absolutely cannot wait for readers to hear!

Happy Publication Day to this wonderful, funny and endearing novel which delves into grief, and change and also the love within families and to be strong enough to let go… plus there’s an adorable kitty called Pumpkin who’s my favourite character #TheLastGiftsOfTheUniverse

Aaaand we have lift-off! 🚀 If you're in the UK you can pick up a copy of this today (the book, not the cat, sorry)! It's been a long road for this little sci-fi -- thanks to everyone who's joined it for the journey along the way, and cheers to all reading it for the first time!

Look at this gorgeous book
