As Noddy Holder might have said when his book came out: "Iiiiiiiiit's Publication Daaaaay!" Catalyst has been released on an unsuspecting world. It's my third novel, set in Sheffield, and is a thriller full of twists, with a fair bit of warmth and humour. amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08…

@b_sufc As with the later incident involving Tyrese Campbell, why didn’t he stay on his feet and try to give his team the chance of scoring? Love both these players but we’ve seen them go to ground far too easily before.

No intention to get the ball, nowhere near the ball. Only intention was to stop him moving. How is that not a penalty?

@Emzystar128 Lined up and ready to go.

@MarkEklid That's cool Do you have beta readers you're working with on your story?

Hooray! The first draft of novel number seven is now done! Now here's where the hard bit starts. #writerscommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

@BookPage617058 Already sorted, thanks.

@MarkEklid Okay, I'm a beta reader and editor. I would like to set a fresh eyes on it

@Emzystar128 Crime thrillers.

@MarkEklid Congratulations 🎉 What genre are you writing

@BookPage617058 Read first draft, read second draft, read third draft…

@MarkEklid Congratulations, what is your next stage now?

I honestly can’t remember feeling this conflicted about a @SheffieldUnited signing since they brought in Terry Curran. I’ve always regarded Bamford as hugely overrated and, worse, a petty cheat. He’s going to have to do a lot to win me over, I’m afraid.

Having decided to relaunch, I love this new cover design for The Murder of Miss Perfect - the best seller of my six crime thrillers. The design comes from the creative mind of @andrewrainnie. The Murder of Miss Perfect will be released again with its new look later this week.

One night. Three very different types of #crimewriters chatting about #books. What's not to like? Come to see @JaneBettany, @TomMeadAuthor and myself at Melbourne Sporting Partnership on Friday, September 26, at 7.30pm. wegottickets.com/event/672946?f…

All set for a beautiful day at the @dormousebelper Belper Book Fair - on until 4pm. Come to see me at stall number 15, close to the Number 28 cafe.

The weather forecast is good, Belper is lovely and there's a book fair on! Three good reasons to come to the @dormousebelper Belper Book Fair at the Market Place on Sunday (11am-4pm). I'll be there, too - but don't let that put you off! Come to meet all the other lovely authors!

Ready for action at @BooksLeek25117 today. Pop by to Moorlands House to talk crime thrillers. Maybe even buy a book. I’m here all day! #bookfestival #crimewriters #books

I went on t'wireless @BBCRadioDerby to help spread the word about the @DerbyBookFest and @Soc_of_Authors libraries project. Give it a listen (my bit is 2:16 in) and follow the link for details of dates, plus how to book tickets. gigantic.com/meet-your-loca… bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@mikster_derby @SteveOrmewriter Actually, Steve’s two books so far do have basketball themes!

@MarkEklid You and @SteveOrmewriter should do a murder mystert about basketball........ Plenty of dodgy characters around in those days 😆🤣🏀😆😘 #GeorgeWaldronDidIt 🔪

Disregard the picture of the handsome young brute. It's not about me. It's an article in today's @derbyshire_live about the forthcoming @DerbyBookFest project with the Society of Authors to organise talks by writers in Derbyshire Libraries. Full details at gigantic.com/meet-your-loca…

@TheReliableC @derbyshire_live @DerbyBookFest Yes, thanks for asking Craig. Only about 12,000 words in though.

@MarkEklid @derbyshire_live @DerbyBookFest Anything new in the pipeline Mark?

@maxbscott It’s what novelty looks like. Big day out for one set of supporters. Just another trip to Wembley for the other.

This is what heritage looks like. Nottingham. A small, rebel city eclipsing Manchester at Wembley. #nffc

Still one of the most immaculate comedy sketches in the history of everything. Make it your mission today to find someone who’s never seen it before and treat them to a little slice of genius.

@cmacwritescrime Own trumpet time but that's what I try to do in my books. How else could you be expected to get away with writing a book called Blood on Shakespeare's Typewriter?

Suggestions for crime books / authors who mix crime and humour well!

@HalTheBlade One of the best worst films ever made.

Thoughts on this film?
