Malcolm Kempt

I'm excited to announce that my debut novel was reviewed in the New York Times as one of January's best mystery novels. Big thanks to Sarah Weinman and everyone at @nytimes for this!

Let the Canadian launch of my debut novel begin. Atlantic Canadian author dates are official. #agiftbeforedying #canlit #canadianauthor

@RRR0BYN That's where I live. Also a homebirth father.

I’m obsessed with cozy coastal Newfoundland houses.

@realMattKParker I need to read this...

Finished. 🧙‍♀️🔥🖤 This is a novel of witches and witchcraft and it is a novel of love and fear but the novel itself is a spell cast upon you the reader and the spell is deep and dark and it is filled with terrible beauty.

Rachel Reid's icy 🇨🇦 romance spotted next to my icy 🇨🇦 thriller at @chaptersindigo! ❤️ Pick both up today! #Bookstagram #IndigoBooks #CanadianAuthors #canlit #cbcbooks #rachelreid #heatedrivalry #canada #agiftbeforedying #canadianbook

@frankie2001mia This film blew my mind the first time I watched it. Gorgeous! 😍

I rewatched this on DVD the other day and it’s been in my feed non stop. Is the phone listening?

@GardenBrocante Is that a Hartley Botanical greenhouse. I'm obsessed! 😍

My greenhouse. It may have cost me 20 years of holidays but it’s been worth it! ❤️

@TheEsteemedFox If I was him, I would frame it in my office. 😍

I'm very tempted to email a local academic whose book I found abandoned, ragged, and frozen to this picnic table at the lake. How... does one graciously tell another that you'd like to share with him some artsy pics you took of his life's work in ruins

@westwordsreview @CriFiLover Thanks, Sonja!

@MalcolmKempt @CriFiLover Looking forward to your next one, Malcolm!

Thanks so much to @CriFiLover and @westwordsreview for the kind boost!

@DebbieJH629 I hope you enjoy it! ❄️💀

I love a book with an Arctic setting.

The ebook of A Gift Before Dying is on sale right now!

@JPfefferMerrill Thanks so much, Jacqueline. The book is as yet unknown in Canada. So glad you found it and enjoyed it!

@MalcolmKempt @nytimes @CrownPublishing @Inkwellmgmt @GidJudges Albertan living in Washington, DC. Saw the NYT review and looked up the book—was sorry to read I’d just missed the book event at @solidstatedc. Read the book over this weekend-wow! Great read! 📕

@hescott @chapters @FlankerPress Great cover!! 😍

Mark your calendars. Still Laughing, the follow up to bestselling, I am Funny Like That, will be released Saturday, April 11th. Join me at @Chapters, Kenmount Road from 1-3 for the official book launch with @flankerpress #booklaunch

@SDDonovan Happy Birthday, Shane!!

It's my birthday! 😊 Already some of you wished me a great day, thank you! Selling some copies of Crimson Regret today would make my day 🥰

@AMaskley Six pages.

Pretty close to DNFing a very popular book. 🫣 I'm about 10% in and it feels like a chore to open it. I'm simultaneously reading Dostoevsky, and enjoying THAT more. How far do you go before you decide a book just isn't for you?

@jasonallison76 @alecdshane @crookedlanebks You had me at former NYPD homicide detective...but 'reformed narcotics trafficker' certainly helped.

Turns out getting a novel published a novel is WAY harder than I thought. But not impossible :) THE KILLING YARDS, chronicling a war to control NYC’s hottest nightclub, coming THIS SEPTEMBER from Crooked Lane Books. Huge thanks to @alecdshane and the team at @crookedlanebks for believing in a gritty, 1990s-set noir, and every writer who offered me their words, wisdom, encouragement, advice, and guidance. I owe you all more than you’ll ever know. Most of all, thanks to @allisoncolejewelry for letting me bang on publishing’s door for seven years and never once asking if maybe I should just give up already. Pre-orders are live. The beat drops 9/22/26.
