So my plan for March was to lock myself away to finish Book 7. But with life for all of us taking a different turn these last few weeks, my attention has rapidly shifted to family, friends, social distancing and new routines (and toilet roll!).

I’m also keenly aware that there are writers whose books are scheduled for publication whose plans and events are now in disarray, which is very hard as these books will all have been years in the making. So, I’ve put this list together with the Feb/March books that I’ve found so far, from big names to debuts, to help all us avid readers look out for them. I’ll add more as we go.

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and well. Wishing you all strength and everything you need in the coming weeks x
