In advance of my short story appearing in Die Zeit's English-language Spotlight magazine, catch me talking about all things writing with Die Zeit's English-language Spotlight team. This was so much fun! All in English!

Delighted my new novel DARKSOME has been bought by Jason Kaufman, Dan Brown’s editor at @doubledaybooks. I'm hugely grateful to my agent Chris Bucci, of @AevitasCreative , New York, for stepping in so swiftly and expertly after the tragic death of Esmond Harmsworth.

I am in shock! My novel The Devil Aspect has been chosen by Mysterious Bookshop as one of USA TODAY’s ten best thriller or mystery novels, I’m in there with Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Stephen King. Huge privilege to be in their number.

Finished reading first Jan Fabel book by @TheCraigRussell, which I have steamed through (and majorly approved of one characters name). Is Maria ok? Will Vitrenko be caught or will he kill again? Why is Spitzbube such a great word? But is Maria OK? Terrified to read the next book.

Just snuck this one in under the 2024 radar, and what a belter it is. When Craig Russell writes, he paints pictures… in the case of The Devil’s Playground, a dark, shimmering Gothic movie picture, populated with the shady characters of 1920s’ Hollywood…

Thanks to @FaberBooks for sending me an advance copy of Karsten Dusse's wonderful MURDER MINDFULLY. What a breath of fresh air! Dark, very funny, totally engaging. Not surprised Netflix have picked this up!

It's World Book Day, the Oscars are in a couple of days, so appropriate that it's publication day for the British paperback of THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND …

Are you brave enough to enter The Devil's Playground?
Be transported back to 1920s Hollywood and discover the deadly rumours of a cursed production, and a decades long search for a single copy that may still exist . . .
Pre-order the paperback here: brnw.ch/21wHAgt
