Four weeks until my second novel is published! Night Fire is a psychological ghost story set during World War II, on a RAF Bomber Command airfield in Lincoln. Perfect for readers of Alice Winn, Sarah Waters, Andrew Michael Hurley and Andrew Miller. Preorder links in my bio!

Sometimes I look at a view like this and wonder about all the different stories behind each window, and then I realise it's probably just people sitting looking at their phones.

Even on the evil horrorshow of Goodreads, people seem to be really enjoying my second novel: five 5-star reviews so far! Only six weeks until Night Fire is published now... goodreads.com/book/show/2399…

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory I am fully prepared.
