I’m delighted my fab publishers @AllisonandBusby have chosen #BadforGood as their ebook of the month. For the ridiculous price of 99p, you can enter the C/Supt Jo Howe’s terrifying world. What happens when police cuts are so severe vigilantism takes over. ‘How far would you go?’ @DavidHHeadley @DHHlitagency

Yesterday was a big day! I sent back the #CityonFire page proofs to @AllisonandBusby and it looks incredible. This should mean the next time I see the book is when you do in March 2024! If you need to catch up on the #JoHowe series, there’s no better time than now. 👇👇👇 #BadforGood ebook is just 99p throughout Sept and #ForceofHate PB is out on 21st Sept. It was great to celebrate all that with my amazing agent @DavidHHeadley, @DavyFennell and @TomDrakeLee1 with beers at @sohohouse Brighton and the best pizza I’ve ever eaten at VIP Pizza #Brighton

This time next month, I'll be at @BloodyScotland🔪 to tackle the topic of the much-misunderstood world of the travelling community with @WHusseyAuthor & @TinaBakerBooks. Chaired by @craigsisterson, we’ll be chatting about how it's shaped our stories. 🎟️ bit.ly/3q2dT6Z

Who's been keeping up with my column in the @brightonargus? This week, I wrote about the raw & inspiring journey of @LewisCapaldi at @glastonbury. From his battles with #mentalhealth to imposter syndrome, Capaldi's story resonates with us all. Love, acceptance & understanding have such power. Let's embrace our own self-doubt & help others find peace in their accomplishments ❤️ theargus.co.uk/news/23628074.…

If this was a police officer charged with a racially aggravated public order offence, they’d be suspended immediately and rightly so. With the perfectly valid calls for higher standards in the police, shouldn’t the Conservative Party look in the mirror? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

So excited about @HarrogateFest! I'll be facilitating a workshop with the one & only @DrCJMerritt on 20/7, and corralling fellow authors @JaneCaseyAuthor, @CaraHunterBooks, @neillancaster66 & @nadinematheson for the 'Law & Disorder' panel discussion on 21/7 @ 12. Can't wait 🙌

🚨#CrimeWriters, here are my top three tips when writing your arrest and interview scenes👇#amwriting

Whilst my novels are notoriously gritty and dark, look out for the dad-joking cop who lightens the mood in FORCE OF HATE. Or does he? I promise he’s not based on me 😉 Pre-order👇now, out 23 March: amazon.co.uk/Force-Hate-aut…

I don't like receiving hate mail, but today is an exception 😅 FORCE OF HATE is out on 23 March & you can get signed editions from @GoldsboroBooks📚✍️goldsborobooks.com/product/force-… @AllisonandBusby @DHHlitagency @DavidHHeadley
