OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DAY! FULL SUN is officially published today and is now available in paperback and ebook. If you enjoy a crime thriller, check it out and pick up a copy from all good booksellers. #booktwt #BookTwitter @BookGuild

Fantastic evening with The Reading Room book club in Greenock last night. Many thanks to Jill and Carla for inviting me along and for all who attended and bought a book or two. Hope everyone enjoyed the chat and enjoys the books. Didn't do too badly in the quiz either!

Last Autumn I joined the team at @ObjectiveMediaG and @SeriousEdits editing CBBC's Operation Ouch with Dr Chris and Dr Xand van Tulleken and friends, and today it drops on BBC iPlayer and starts on the CBBC channel. Tune in for medical mayhem and plenty of gross alerts!

2 fantastic author events - thanks to everyone who came along to Daydreams in Milngavie and Caffeinated Escapism in Alexandria. Thanks to everyone who came along!

Thanks to @WaterstonesEK and staff for having me along for a book signing yesterday. A steady trickle rather than a rush but 25 books sold, so a very worthwhile afternoon. Thanks to everyone who came along for their support and I hope you enjoy the books! #booktwt #BookTwitter

Fantastic #NoirattheBar last night with #daydreamsbookshop in Glasgow. Smashing line up to be part of and a great audience. A great way to celebrate Halloween. 📸 by Ian Dawson. #BookTwitter

Delighted to reveal the cover of my new book, HOSTILE CITY, arriving January 2026 - the second book to feature Cal Jackson, after FULL SUN. Thanks to the team at The Book Guild for another outstanding cover design. Hope everyone likes it.

@EuanMccaughey Swimming the same. Priced the vast majority of locals out of attending. There goes inspiring the next generation of kids - only if they're rich kids.

Tickets have been released today for next years Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The ticket prices are absolutely scandalous. Below is some example prices for gymnastics, athletics and cycling. £200-300 for a family of 4 to these events #CommonwealthGames #commonwealthgames2026

@1953FlyingScot Over £300 to take family of 4 to see track cycling for a couple of hours. Priced vast majority of locals out of attending.

Anyone else bagged #CommonwealthGames 2026 tickets in the presale? #Gpostcode

On Friday 5th September I'll be appearing at the Nairn Book and Arts Festival as part of their Wine and Crime event, sharing the stage with the incredible @DouglasSkelton1 and @nataliejayclark - both listed for prizes at this year's Bloody Scotland Festival #booktwt #BookTwitter
