Celebrating my mum today. A compassionate, inquiring mind and still so stylish at 85. At 80 she went on holiday to see friends whilst bribing border guards in Rwanda. She’s brilliant. A role model.
With the brilliant @Anna_Mazz at @FarnhamLitFest - and if you missed this event come and hear all about Anna’s amazing new novel at Windsor Waterstones on the evening of Thursday March 21, or St Albans Waterstones on Wednesday March 20th. #thebookofsecrets

Happy brain news! The gamma knife treatment seems to have stalled the meningioma (tumour on the lining of my brain). The neurosurgeons won't be sure for another 2 years, but it looks like they've stopped it growing and even reduced it slightly. Before and after pics below.

@IsabelAshdown So awful! I had my fingers in my ears and scared the cat by constantly naming groaning noises at how bad it was
Today, wrote the final full stop and sent new novel to my brilliant editor. Blimey. @MantleBooks
