Lucy Jane Wood is a 33 year old content creator from the Wirral, living in London with her partner Adam and cat Flo. She's been making lifestyle and book content on YouTube and Instagram for ten years or so, and previously worked as a freelance writer before social media took over as her job in around 2018. You can usually find her with a giant coffee, her ridiculous cat and a good book in hand. Rewitched is her debut novel. It came out in September and is a cosy, witchy, autumnal story with a dash of romance, about rediscovering your spark when it feels as though you’ve lost it, and how real-life gets in the way of letting your magic lead the way.

Ever doubt yourself as a writer or author because things are not happening for you the way that they are for others? In October's Mindset Memo, the first of this new series of the Monthly Mindset Memo, I share some reality checks that will help you experience the world of writing and publishing in a more realistic way. I cover writing what we know, first drafts, six figure book deals, making money as a writer, and fairy dust (yes, fairy dust!), and get into the truth about the world of writing and being published.

Ashley is a sci-fi and fantasy author and professional astronomer. When she isn’t studying the intricacies of galaxy evolution and artificial intelligence, she’s plotting out and writing character driven speculative fiction at the intersections of queerness and neurodiversity. Ashley enjoys picking up and putting down heavy objects at the gym, playing table-top RPGs, and she developed a taste for going to raves at the age of thirty.
Title: The Potent SolutionGenre: Historical Urban Fantasy
THE POTENT SOLUTION is a historical urban fantasy, set in the gaslit streets of London in 1834. It follows an apprentice alchemist, thrown into the jaws of a deadly conspiracy after her mentor mysteriously vanishes. To prevent disaster, Charlotte Price must take on magically empowered assassins, gate-crash a society ball and track down the source of a dangerous arcane drug. But her biggest challenge is her own mind—Charlotte has ADHD and her errant attention span threatens to stop her investigation in its tracks.

For this episode I am joined by two wonderful guest hosts who are chatting with me about my debut novel, Garden of Her Heart, which launched on 20th June. My two guest hosts are Jennie Godfrey who wrote The List of Suspicious Things, and Bookaholic Bex, who won a mini competition on TwiX for a book reviewer to join us as a host - Bex is a book blogger and book reviewer who is well loved in the writing community on TwiX.
Thank to both my guest hosts, who did an amazing job - you can really hear that we had a fabulous time, despite me having a nasty bug for publication week!Support the show

Tonight, as this episode goes live, is the pre-launch event for my novel, Garden of Her Heart. Next week is the launch event. Am I ready? In this episode I do a dive into how we can know when we're ready - be that ready to write, to edit, to query agents, to call ourselves a writer, an author ... whatever your ready is.
