Connie B. NOIRELAND Early September, from Soho Press. :)

It's an impressive shortlist. My fingers are crossed for DHH Literary Agency author Brian McGilloway The Last Crossing is an exceptional novel. #TheakstonsCrime #TheakstonAward

All eyes on the Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year tonight!! Brian McGilloway & The Last Crossing has been shortlisted for this prestigious award. Will he follow N Ireland’s سعد and Adrian McKinty to make it a triple for Ireland? We bloody hope so!!! Best of luck our Brian!

It was too hard to choose this year’s winner! So we thought it was well deserved for Brian McGilloway to receive a Highly Commended mention for #TheLastCrossing! Congratulations 👏🏼

Thrilled with this and massively grateful to David Henry Headley for standing in for me.

The industry has paid tribute to "brilliant storyteller" and crime author Clare Dunkel, also known as Mo Hayder, who has died from motor neurone disease: bit.ly/3iVyORA

Horrible news about Mo Hayder. She was a lovely woman and an amazing writer. One of a kind. I'm so happy to have known her and, like so many others, to have had the chance to read her fabulous books.

Really sad about Mo Hayder. There are very few of us crime writers with the nerve to go where she liked to be, creatively - she was a unique writer and a great loss.

Never afraid to push the conventional boundaries of the crime fiction novel, Clare Dunkel aka Mo Hayder, will truly be missed. Our condolences to Clare’s family. ❤️

Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Mo Hayder. Mo was a genuine original, who pushed at the limits of what the genre could do. To lose her so young to such a horrible disease fills me with sorrow, not least for the books she had in her head that we'll never read.

An extraordinary talent and a huge loss to the crime fiction community. Mo Hayder’s novel should grace every reader’s bookshelf.

Today, we publish The House Of Ashes by Stuart Neville #BloodLikeMine in Ireland. This is a very, very special novel - a dark, emotional and beautifully written thriller that you will be desperate to share. Grab your signed edition from Eason now - easons.com/house-of-ashes…

Northern Irish writers are often instructed to subdue their regionalism to sell to English audiences. It's really time to stop. crimereads.com/stuart-neville…

A great read from Stuart Neville #BloodLikeMine about NI crime fiction and UK publishers downplaying the Norn Irland thing. Let’s hear your thought crime fans!
