A more professional author than myself might be casual about this sort of thing, but I'll be standing in a certain Bath bookshop today, squealing. FREEZE is a @WHSmith Richard and Judy Book Club for the winter! Paperback out today, hopefully all over the place.
This thriller isn't just chilling: it's sub-zero. 🥶 Packed with suspense from the first page to the last, this is a must-read for fans of Shiver, The Sanatorium & One By One. #Freeze by @katesboat is out in paperback today AND it's an R&J Winter pick! whsmith.co.uk/products/freez…

Cancel your plans (and your cruise). If you like your families toxic and your holidays deadly, this one's for you. Absolutely gulped down this cracking thriller from @RachelWolfWritr
'Glamorous and atmospheric with a cast of brilliantly untrustworthy characters, a true page-turner you'll find hard to put down' @catherinecooper Here's the #CoverReveal for #FiveNights by @RachelWolfWritr

He writes like a demigod. He does all his own stunts. But the legendary @DLMWrites also *smells* like danger. #77north #scentofdanger
What does an unboxing video look like if your publisher gives you a £multi-million budget? (Probs not this) In one month I’ll be at the author dinner at Harrogate crime festival, where lucky people may be able to pick up super early copies of 77 North!

Thursday morning wisdom from the eternally sagacious @NolanDom here... (though I've got to say I'm unsure about the authenticity of the 'hair swinging', under the circs)
Replying to @NatalieMarlow2
I used to have a strange church-stone reverence for the blank page, but now it's an opportunity for mayhem. Nobody's watching. Do it with the delirium of singing in your bedroom to your favourite song. Hand mics, head back, hair swinging. I write believing it'll never be read.

Just finished Freeze by @katesboat Blown away, one of those books that make you realise you can’t write for shit. Chilling, twisting, closed-circle mystery onboard an ice-bound ship full of sus characters, if you wanna read about the Arctic this is the one.

'You want police officers who never break the rules? Read a manual.' Great🧵on fiction vs real life. Books are (for me) about escapism, and the reason I want escapism is because real life is often bollocks.
A quick thread about the meaning of the word “#fiction”. I’ve been reading a lot of #reviews lately, not just mine but of fellow authors’ books for various events, panels & festivals, and I wanted to comment on something I’m seeing more often. It’s encapsulated by the phrase…

Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.
