Sneak peek from #NoirAtTheBar - I shared the brief outline first, before reading the first page of my novel. ✍🏻 Full reading over on my insta stories - although not for much longer… 😂 #AmQuerying #SpeculativeThriller #BookPitch #WritersCommunity

@LauraPAuthor @TheakstonsCrime @ed_pr @HarrogateFest Yay it’s been ages 💜

@Paradi5eLibrary @TheakstonsCrime @ed_pr @HarrogateFest I’ll be there! Hope to see you.

Not long until #TheakstonCrime - one of the highlights of the bookish calendar! 📕 Anyone else making the journey to Harrogate? 📖 Not me watching the below on repeat because I’m so excited! 📚 instagram.com/reel/DMnZBHu... #BookTweet #BookFestival #BookTwitter @TheakstonsCrime

Soo @lilyallen was incredible! Short and sweet… lack of trains was less fun but should be home before 3am 😬

@chloeainworth @CapitalCrime1 Exactly 👏🏻

@Paradi5eLibrary @CapitalCrime1 Absolutely. Reading forces your brain to cast the characters and build the world, making it completely unique to you. TV hands you someone else's finished vision.

Is reading a novel more personal than watching a tv adaptation? Panel argue that watching TV is more of a communal experience and that you need your imagination when you reading because characters are then the reader’s interpretation... @CapitalCrime1 #Suspense #TVCrime

@JaniceHallett Oh wow! That sounds fun.

What are you up to on July 16? Would love to see you at Broadcasting House in London for a recording of BBC Radio 4’s Bookclub all about The Appeal 😱 Click here for details 👇 bbc.co.uk/programmes/art…

From screen writing to novels and back again - what are the similarities? Interesting discussion about plot vs character… @CapitalCrime1 #CrimeBooks #ThrillerBooks

The inimitable Jennie Godfrey is always a treat on a panel, and interviewing two fabulous authors @ClareEmpson2 and Hattie Williams @CapitalCrime1 Secrets, lies and toxic relationships… #BookTweet

Day 2 Dark, gothic fiction unleashed… cannibals, ghosts and fear… 😬 A perfect combo and some brilliant books here! 🐑 🖤 @essiefox @CapitalCrime1 @callieuntitled #Macabre #GothicBooks #Cannibals

Great question about celebrities writing books and not acknowledging their ghost writers… ✍🏻 Long story short: They absolutely should. 👏🏻 @capitalcrime #CapitalCrime #ThrillerBooks @ellygriffiths @Dougieclaire

Love a time slip story… both of these books sound excellent! Managing multiple timelines is very tricky but if your characters are strong enough the reader will still come on the journey with you. @Dougieclaire @ellygriffiths @CapitalCrime1 #ThrillerBooks

Let’s go @CapitalCrime1 - first panel: ‘realities of the publishing industry’ comparing writing a novel to acting! As someone who does both I fully agree - both need character development, imagination & a thick skin! 🎭 ✍🏻 #CapitalCrime #Publishing @alisonbarrow @DHHlitagency

Just got to the station to find @ApcoaLtd has decided off peak isn’t until after 5pm! That’s an extra £8 a day on top of the train fare, which is outrageous 😤 this is why people drive everywhere…

Who else is heading to @CapitalCrime1 this weekend? 🔪 Hope to see lots of readers there for a fab few days of panels. 📚 Check out some of the bloggers reporting on the event… ✍🏻 #BookFestival #BookTweet #CapitalCrime #WriterTweet #CrimeNovels

This was incredible! 💔 Fabulous portrayal of Judy Garland by @JinkxMonsoon @sohotheatre Walthamstow and so much inspo for our roles in upcoming Golden Age thriller 💖 #TheatreTweet #Stagey #ActorsLife

Is it possible to opt out of all football related marketing? 😔 I have zero interest and yet every app and organisation feels the need to shove the World Cup down my throat… ⚽️ No? Just me? 😅 OK, I’ll go back to writing my book. 🤭

@dogdaysinitaly @writerslift @_RaeRadford @BookReviews03 @FreyasMuttHut @TeacupPh @80sqween @pacer_t @eduardo_porben @NicolasFallsmy1 Sounds intriguing but possible overuse of the word murder towards the second half. Love the location 💖

HELP REQUESTED!! Mom's next mystery will be out around August. Trying out a book blurb. Would this blurb make you interested in reading the book? @writerslift @Paradi5eLibrary @_RaeRadford @BookReviews03 @FreyasMuttHut @TeacupPh @80sqween @pacer_t @eduardo_porben @NicolasFallsmy1

@_JennShelton Miss you already xx

Had a very lovely couple of days with @Paradi5eLibrary 💖 Sad she's left so going to drown my sorrows in a good book!

@BexBookaholic This crossed my mind yesterday actually…

Do you think anyone has ever gone into a bookshop, pretended to be an author, and signed a load of books they didn't write?

…and rust on your door… 🎶 #TaylorSwift #August
