Holding that first copy in your hands is always a thrill! Dark Desert Road out Jan 2026…

Pretty good pitch in the end

And then… Travis Head stepped up to the crease.

Is that the greatest #Ashes Test Century for an Australian ever? It just might be. Travis head facing an incredible English bowling attack - I think we’ve just seen something special ⁦@CricketAus⁩ ⁦@englandcricket⁩

“I strongly believe that Dark Desert Road is going to be one of the top Australian releases of 2026, and I am very excited to check it out.” ⁦@LibraryUnseen⁩ #jan2026 #books #crimefiction unseenlibrary.com/2025/10/25/wai…

@OBBY001 Unfortunately I’m not interested in anything Eddie Jones has to say anymore, and I’m not sure Carter would either. His decision to blow up Australian Rugby while interviewing for the Japan job is something that won’t be forgotten.

Rugby reading from the Tele today 🏉 Eddie Jones has some advice for Carter Gordon.

@LibraryUnseen @IslingtonJames @JohnGrisham @Connellybooks @JackHeathWriter @HarlanCoben @ReeseW Can’t wait to hear what you think!

I've recently received several awesome books to review, including outstanding novels by @IslingtonJames, @JohnGrisham, @Connellybooks, @JackHeathWriter, @TimJAyliffe, @HarlanCoben and @ReeseW, and more. unseenlibrary.com/2025/10/28/boo…

2025 is almost over but books keep on coming! Here are 3 great new Aussie/Kiwi crime books by #AlanCarter @JackHeathWriter & #ChrisBlake & forthcoming titles by Natalie Conyer & @TimJAyliffe @echo_publishing @FremantlePress @AllenAndUnwin @SulariGentill murdermayhemandlongdogs.com/downunder-crim…

@OBBY001 Agree with the move on part. Although it’s a shame because I think England is shaping as the strongest team in Europe alongside France

@TimJAyliffe We knew they wouldn’t be available so we’ve just got to move on and pick the next available best. I’m confident we will still be competitive with those rested players back.

Strong England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 team & they’ve picked big in form winger Tommy Freeman to mark Joseph Suaalii.

@WoodyJ64 Fantastic thanks!

@TimJAyliffe Pre-order complete!!!

My first standalone novel is officially off to the printers! I loved spending time with the McCarthy sisters - estranged twins who are forced to choose between family, justice and the extremism that has divided them. Pre-orders echopublishing.com.au/books/dark-des…
