Bore da Chickens,

I know you weren’t expecting to hear from me today after all the drama about my flaps (really, that joke never gets old). I could get badges made, ‘Ask me about my Flaps!’  

You know how I might have mentioned I’d written a book? You know the one with the fabulous pink cover, with just a hint of glitter and those magnificent flaps. Well, drum roll please,

CHOPSY has been selected by Waterstones to be part of their New Titles for 2026 promotion

This means that for the next week, there is a whopping 25% off pre-orders of the book at Waterstones online.

You can preorder in the Waterstones app or online at their website.

https://www.waterstones.com/book/chopsy/maya-jordan/9780715656136

Remember to use the code OCTOBER25 when checking out.

In the book, I talk about everything, from class, feminism, education, motherhood, medical misogyny, and the joy of afternoon tea to why I really hate Giant Snails and my endless love affair with the library.

Pre-orders are so important to writers and publishers, so if you have any pocket money going spare, please consider placing an order; that way, the book will arrive as happy-post on the day it’s released. (I’m gonna ask people to share their parcel opening on social media, but more on that later.)

I’m so excited and more than a little scared to share Chopsy with the world, but especially with you, my lovely blog readers who have been with me, bumbling along all these years.

Thank you again for all of your support. Now, go grab yourself a bargain xxx

And don’t worry if you’ve already spent your pocket money on sherbert dib-dabs and flying saucers, you can still show your support by sharing this post.

A huge thank you to Waterstones for championing my work xxx
