Sheer class from Liverpool again tonight, and more good news with Arsenal dropping another couple of points.

Put the finishing touches to my latest novel over the weekend and sent it off to @oliagent.bsky.social. Always a great feeling to finish a book, but now follows the anxious wait to find out if it's any good! #booksky

To my eternal surprise, the US and Canada edition of The Rest Is Death has gone live with minimal fuss. Pre-order like your lives depend on it, folks! www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXQV9XGX

You can also pre-order The Rest Is Death on iBooks, if that's your thing. books.apple.com/us/book/id67...

Just over from the dark side? It’s story time! Here’s a clip of Her Sister’s Killer narrated by Colleen Prendergast: bit.ly/4gKtXyD Want more? I’m @AlnPlayhouse on March 2nd talking to ITV’s Ian Payne about this title. Tickets here: bit.ly/3Qom7zT Who’s coming? @ForumBooks @orionbooks @orion_crime

This moment in history is absolutely bonkers.

Had an interesting day yesterday, with a warehouse visit to sign copies of #ATrialinThreeActs - and a trip to the nearby grave of George Orwell! Out on 6 March.

Love this!

💙📚⚡️ #BookSky OUT TODAY: Helle’s Hound by @oskarjensen.bsky.social Torben Helle returns today in a new mystery as his mentor is found dead, and he’s off to upset the great and powerful to find out who and how! thecosymoose.com/helles-hound...

For my first actual post, it seems in the spirit of this place to share* these miniature biscuit simulacra of my book Helle's Hound, out today, courtesy of my wonderful agent Joanna... *share visually, that is. Hands off!

Black Thorn is insanely cheap for the whole of February. If you fancy reading a slow-burn psychological thriller with an autistic main character, fill your boots 🧡 rb.gy/yt7mlh

Lovely morning in London today.

Tonight’s West End show: Stranger Things. Absolutely incredible. Pushes the boundaries of what can be done with effects in a theatre performance.

Went to see Operation Mincemeat in the West End. Hilarious and poignant. See it if you get the chance.

Just typed 'The End' on my current novel. Still plenty of work to do, but it's a great milestone to reach.

Knew I'd seen this before. The Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror" is set in a parallel universe run by a ruthless totalitarian regime. Nothing like our reality, of course.

This is a terrible ceremony.

I’m on a weekend break. This is the door to my room.

Now that’s a fireplace!
