Windmill Hill is out in the world!

Windmill Hill is now out in the world after a series of pre-publication events, reviews, a launch party, and an ongoing book tour.

It’s been wild to go from the solitude of the writing shed, into Festivals, bookshops & parties. It’s been so long since I did this. Magpie Lane was published in the very first week of lockdown, so that book tour, and two launch parties*, were cancelled. This is, essentially, the first time I’ve been on tour since 2017 with The Night Visitor.

So, thank you to everyone who has made this so uplifting. It really is heart-warming to be out meeting readers again. It’s a pleasure to share Astrid, Mrs Baker and their unhinged world with all of you.

*unlike some, YES we did cancel our parties….!!!

    So happy that a new book has arrived, I’ve read Night Visitor and Magpie Lane twice now.
    Lucy Atkins is my top contemporary writer , I appreciate the way she allows plot to reveal itself gradually, the interesting and sympathetic characters and elegant use of language.
