I loved this - especially the bit about the queen! And thanks so much for the shout-out: I'll have to do my best to live up to your kind words now!

I should have saved the queen and told the whole story. Dammit! Wasted anecdote.

You still can!

Yay she’s back!! I referenced you in a recent piece here but it didn’t let me tag you btw, I was crediting you and Stewart Lee for inviting me to include fun footnotes.

I find the tagging is quite erratic here for some reason. (And thank you!)

Here it is (and I'm still amused by footnotes so thank you) https://penfriendrocks.substack.com/p/on-release-day-these-two-words-have

ALSO this is a fab post and I liked learning more about you, and I might steal this template if that's ok x

Yay! Love everything about you and your writing even though I can’t quite recall how I (thankfully) stumbled across you! Can’t wait to read your mystery when I can tag on Goodreads 🤪😜 but if you aren’t doing that I will still actually read it as I loved your quirky sci fi book and I also read lots of fantasy as a teen! 🥰🫶🏻 Didn’t know you had a fancy company and were a pioneer in tech writing. How amazing! 🤩🤩🤩

It’s on goodreads Elaine! I meant to tell you the good news! Someone else put it there. I created an account for Kj Lyttleton but haven’t checked if they let me take ownership of the books.

Is there a story behind the pen name?

Yes! I will tell it soon. Don't get too excited though... It's more "huh" than "wow!"
