And here’s me diligently recycling my yoghurt pots because that’s gonna save the world.

New today! The wonderful @kiaabdullah.bsky.social (@hqstories.bsky.social) submits to a gentle grilling about her journey to publication, her favourites #CrimeFiction characters and how she marks her page in a book...

I raced through #TheSchoolGates. @aachaudhuri.bsky.social captures that very specific friction of the yummy mummy milieu. The gleeful gossip, the vying for status and the prickly cliquiness are all skewered with skill. Taut, tense and richly drawn, it’s a compulsive thriller with claws. 🦞

Great! See you there!

If you'd like a signed copy of What Happens in the Dark, you can order one now from @newhambookshop.bsky.social 👇🏽

If you’ve met me, you’ll know that I love a good chat (inevitable really when you come from a family of eight kids). This summer, I’ll be chatting to some brilliant authors and readers across the country. If you’re around, please come and say hello! More info at kiaabdullah.com/events.

See you there, Kathryn!

Thank you!

Aw, thank you, Stu!

The good news is that I thought #thedayofthejackal was brilliant just like you guys said. (That ending!)

The bad news is that this basic bitch now has a crush on Eddie Redmayne. 🙄
