Huge thanks to my editor at Storm Publishing, Kate Gilby Smith, and the line & copy editors who helped turn my scribblings into a book worth publishing. Also to Angus King, the annoyingly talented man who brought Malkie and Steph to life so vividly in both (🥲) of my audiobooks.

My second book, Last To Die. Tomorrow, 2nd May. Hurrah!

'Great characters and a great book that I highly recommend.'

'A fast-moving, edge-of-the-seat novel you won’t be able to put down'

'[Malkie] needs to stop opening his mouth just to change feet!'

Ooft. Book three sub'd. Nerves shredded. Much-needed breakdown planned.

This is so exciting I could just... Oops, I just did. Nurse!

To all lovely people who posted to and messaged me on social meedja recently. I'm sorry. I've been nose to grindstone and head up backside, to finish draft one of book three to a standard I won't be embarrassed to send to my editor.

I *will* respond to everyone, soon. xxx

Suzy is one hell of a writer. I haven't got to this yet but I'm accelerating my reading speed to do so. Can't wait.

Saw discussion earlier saying readers don't notice craft unless the book they are reading is bad. Got me thinking. This doesn't mean these things aren't important. A reader shouldn't notice craft. But that doesn't meant the craft isn't doing its job. It means that it's working.

Can somebody pinch me, please?

Woohoo! For years, I thought I would never see a book of mine on NetGalley, let alone twice. I owe too many people too much to list here, but thank you, all, for helping me believe. xxx

I've read this. It's a decent-enough book, but the author can be a grumpy old fart, sometimes. 🤣

I thought my mind was blown when I became a published writerer. On 2nd May I'll become twice-published. I know!

Cover reveal tomorrow. It's a bit gorgeous.

Kindle version already available for pre-order! Now, even! Ack, exclamation mark overload! Sorry! geni.us/524-al-aut-am

Anyone know how to enter Val McDermid's new debut prize? I found the qualifying criteria and closing date, but not how to actually submit. And does 'published for the first time in hardback or paperback original' exclude eBooks/audiobooks with paperbacks via PoD? Thanks, all.

Today, I found out someone at The Scots Magazine. thinks my wee debut is 'enthralling'.
Which is nice. Thanks to The Scots Magazine for the mention and to the lovely Douglas Skelton for bringing it to my attention.
