Want a feel-good summer read? Can't help you there. But if you want a twisty little number for your hols, pop #TheDeadlySpark in your hand luggage... because summer can never be too hot 🔥 As @claremackwrites.bsky.social said, it's 'perfect holiday reading' (and the #thriller queen is NEVER wrong!).
Hello, #heatwave! ☀️
Grab yourself a glass of something spectacularly icy, and get your hands on a copy of #TheDeadlySpark (we're all melting anyway, so a few extra degrees won't make a difference… 🔥).

Prologue I stop as close to the cliff’s edge as I dare. I allow myself a few deep breaths before grabbing the phone from my pocket. Hot tears prick at my eyes, threatening to trickle down my face, but I can’t lose my nerve. Limbs trembling and palms clammy, I inhale the cool summer evening air as I take in the view. The grass illuminated by the sunrise, blades ruffling with every breath of wind. The sea glittering for miles, the horizon unbroken. The thundering noise of the waves crashing over the rocks below sounds closer than it actually is . . . almost three hundred feet to the bottom. Such a long drop. The sensation of the phone vibrating in my hand makes me start. Without looking at the glowing screen, I hurl it into the ocean with as much force as I can muster, watching it sail through the air before being swallowed by the dark depths below. A spike of adrenaline burns through my body as I envisage myself stepping over, imagining the sensation of my body slicing through the cold air, plummeting into the darkness of nothing. I take a step closer. Just a few metres away now. Any minute. The sound of a dog barking in the distance makes me jump, 2 and I turn on the spot, squinting in the weak light. Then, I see him. And he sees me. I don’t have much time. I turn back to face the edge of the cliff, break into a run up the grassy slope. And leap.
A big hello to all my new followers from around the world! Here's a preview of the prologue to my debut sapphic thriller, #TheDeadlySpark, out now in paperback, ebook and audiobook in the UK, US and Canada (ebook and audiobook should be available most other places!).
Enjoy 🙂
