Yes!! I loved Mr Rose, would get so excited when you realised each new instalment! Can’t wait to see it in print, it’ll be a perfect Christmas present - for me!! 😁
I really enjoyed reading it on instagram and I'd love to get it printed too! Can I order it online from somewere? Thought bubble is a bit far from Greece...
Fantastic! I loved watching Mr Rose being tempted in 2021! Virginia Andrews covers always looked so enticing and dramatic but I never dared read one (too many nuns in my childhood!)
Thanks Nanette! Virginia Andrews isn't nuns, but lots of repressed passions, and passions that would've been better repressed! Very enticing rubbish!! 😂
Hahaha! I know Virginia Andrews isn't nuns! It was a Catholic guilt gag about how I couldn't possibly dare to read something as racy as Virginia Andrews - despite how tempting the covers! Love your cover for Mr Rose, it's going straight on my Christmas wish list!
Darn it Nanette I stepped on your joke, sorry!! 😂 And I like it!! That makes sense, they ARE too racy for anyone steeped in nuns! (And they're too crap!)
No Clem!! save your one life's precious hours and avoid Virginia Andrews!!😆 I just googled "fesses de nonnes" and was shown a revolting-looking pastry covered in cream goo - is that it?? Are those the bums? 😂
Oh I was a HUGE Virginia Andrew’s fan too. I had to read them under the bedcovers in case my parents found out. Have you watched the 1980’s film of Flowers in the Attic? It is brilliantrashy!
Haha yay Helen! I never saw the film, but watched some of the TV films with Heather Graham as the mum - soooo painful 😆 Did you do the Heaven series of books too? And were you an Anne Rice fan?
Love love love it Tor!! I LOVE Mr Rose and can’t wait to own my own copy!
And what about the Christopher Pike and Lois Duncan books!? Our love for trashy thriller horror was immense!! I don’t know if you remember, but I wrote my DISSERTATION for A-Levels comparing the first Heaven book with Jane Eyre!! The cringe!!
Haha!! I’m not 100% sure, but I think I got an A! So I must have written well about it! I wish I could remember where my old school work is! I’m sure it is hanging around somewhere!
LOVE the cover! And yes, you are a bit of a nun-botherer
Nun-botherer 😂😂😍
Woohoo! I can't wait for this! I am also here for any time you decide NOT to rein it in! :)
😂 haha thank you, that’s definitely good to know!!
The cover is beautiful!
More nun-bothering: the Sister Pelagia trilogy by Boris Akunin!
Thanks Kevin! And oooo I’ll look that out!!
Are you self publishing this? Can’t wait to buy a copy x
Yes! Hoping to send it off to print this week. Thanks Jim! x
Excellent! Looking forward to it.

Thank you Emma!😁
Have you read Matrix? It's perfect for botherers of nuns and lovers of romps!
I hadn't heard of it! I just looked it up - I went to a Lauren Groff reading while I was in Florida! Thanks Hannah, I'll look it out!
I really enjoyed reading it on instagram and I'd love to get it printed too! Can I order it online from somewere? Thought bubble is a bit far from Greece...
Thank you! Haha yes it is a bit far - I'll have copies in my online shop once it's printed, and can post to you - I'll post here when it's ready!
Excellent. Can I preorder now?
Thanks Ben! I hadn't the wherewithal for preorders, but will post about it here as soon as I've got my copies!

Hooooray!!
Virginia Andrew, I’ll try 😁
Random nun fact: There are Belgian sweets called Fesses (or Cul!) de nonnes… tried to order some but were unsurprisingly out of stock.
Beware when googling ‘fesses de nonnes’
I can’t paste the pic here (too sexy for substack?)

I think not- I thought of those, rather cute and tempting… (forgive me father for I have sinned…)

Ok, I steer clear of VA! Thanks for saving my euros and my time 😌
They look absolutely delicious!!! I WANT CULS DE NONNES STAT!! x
Can’t wait for this Tor. Mr Rose was my highlight of 2021!
Thank you Ruby!! x
I can't WAIT to meet Mr Rose!
Thanks Jane!😁

I didn’t read the Heaven series, I only read what I could get my hands on at school, I guess the Heaven series wasn’t being passed around. This is the film I was talking about, so bad it is brilliant! https://helenstephens.substack.com/?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web&r=rm2gf
Heaven was similarly revolting and also with a helping of incest. Amazing, will follow the link to see!!
Loving the word brilliantrashy!
Love love love it Tor!! I LOVE Mr Rose and can’t wait to own my own copy!

YES!! YAAAY Christophe Pike and Lois! Els I always do laugh when I remember that about your dissertation!!! What did you get, I can't remember??
Haha!! I’m not 100% sure, but I think I got an A! So I must have written well about it! I wish I could remember where my old school work is! I’m sure it is hanging around somewhere!
