Hope you’re enjoying it!

Off to Woking next week for an evening with the always-excellent @radiomukhers.bsky.social where I'll be chatting about The Drowning Place & signing books. And *stamping* books (like a librarian) with bespoke First Edition stamps.

10 yrs ago, before I was even published @valmcdermid.bsky.social posted this. As a debut author, it meant the world to me. For 25 years, no one has done more for new authors than Val. While others receive plaudits, she works tirelessly for the good of emerging writers. Thanks Val, for everything xx

Liar Liar - the new thriller from the phenomenal Luca Veste . Going to start this tonight.

Can't wait to read The Heights. Looking forward to seeing how the master does it!

Am envisaging a joint marketing campaign, eg. both of us climbing a mountain, or maybe smoking something, to see who can get the highest.
