Returned home to exciting book post - the Czech edition of The Girl's Last Cry. What a stunning cover! Thank you, @albatros_andrea 😁

@JillMansell Looks perfect!

So we’re here on our writers’ retreat…

@VaseemKhanUK @The_CWA That's so very sad. He was a brilliant writer and such a charming man.

As Chair of the @The_CWA it sometimes falls to me to deliver news that is deeply saddening. My warm, gentle, lovely friend Amer Anwer has passed away, from cancer, at an age far too young. He leaves behind a loving family, and a crime fiction fraternity ...

Get yourselves along to this...

@dawnsgeddes @islaybookfest Congratulations, Dawn. 🥳

Absolutely thrilled to have joined the amazing @islaybookfest team 📚📚❤️

There are as many different routes to publication as there are authors, I think...

A lovely piece about my very first novel, The Tattoo Thief. Thank you, @OublietteMag 😍

@DJSellersAuthor Well done to you too!

@AlisonBelsham Me! Every day. Now printed and reading. Well done!

Who's been writing over the Christmas break? It's been a bit patchy here, but I'm happy today as I hit 70k on the WIP - not far to go now... (Well, quite far to go, but I can pretend I'm closing in on my two favourite words...)

@JaneSAnderson15 Thank you!

@AlisonBelsham Was delicious 🤤

This year's Christmas baking has kicked off with a Linzer Torte - hazelnuts and raspberry jam - baked for my writing group's Christmas lunch.

@es_thomson @agentjenny Congratulations! 🥳

Here’s Nim. She’s just learned of my new four book deal with Sphere publishing. Four ghost stories. First one out in October. Hurray!!! ✍🏻🙌❤️thank you ⁦@agentjenny⁩ ❤️#thrilled #amwriting #booknews

I had a wonderful evening and it was a pleasure to meet you, @LizMistryAuthor 😊

@h_critchlow @LizMistryAuthor @EdinBookshop Good chairing depends on good books - and your's and Liz's made finding the questions easy. Thanks for a great evening xx

@AlisonBelsham @LizMistryAuthor @EdinBookshop Thank you Alison - such a lovely evening and you asked brilliant questions ❤️

And that's a wrap! Last chairing event of the year done and dusted - with huge thanks to @LizMistryAuthor, @h_critchlow and @EdinBookshop for fabulous evening. Now, to turn my attention to Christmas...

@lizanorthwriter @h_critchlow @LizMistryAuthor @EdinBookshop It was a pleasure to chair two such excellent writers - I thoroughly enjoyed both their books.

@h_critchlow @LizMistryAuthor @AlisonBelsham @EdinBookshop You were all three brilliant!

So much fun chatting with the brilliant duo @LizMistryAuthor and @AlisonBelsham @EdinBookshop tonight! Thanks to Olivia & Sarah for hosting us ❤️ My last event of 2024!
