Congrats, Kellye Garrett ... A topical & provocative thriller, told by a distinctive voice in the current crime fiction landscape... Kellye will also soon be at Capital Crime in London. Don't miss seeing her on stage. She's electric!

The paperback of The Three Graces is out this week! Thank you to all who bought the hardback, thanks to all who will buy its cheaper version, thanks to all who borrow it from a public library, ebook or audiobook. Without my readers, I could not keep going with the next one….

Bloody hell! I recently turned 50. Better grab a cane... TBC, nothing wrong with combating age exclusion with a grant like this & yes some will be much older. But the messaging needs work. The over 50s that I know are some of the youngest, smartest and most energetic people.

A lovely day yesterday at the Skullduggery festival at Stowmarket Library with a terrific bunch of crime writers & enough cake to give me instant diabetes. I was given a T-shirt by the terrifyingly efficient librarians behind the event & inducted into the librarian freemasons...

After giving a booky talk in Wrexham yestday, I attempted to play the hurdy-gurdy, a medieval instrument evolved from the organistrum & with a handcrank. In my hands it sounded like a bunch of dying cats... Wrexham is where Ryan Reynolds hangs out. Wonder if he cranked his organ.

Libraries change lives. Changed mine when I was young & had no money to buy books. Im an author today bcoz of them. They're NOT a lifestyle choice for govns. The Crime Writers’ Association Dagger in the Library is picked by librarians. Thank you & delighted to be on list. Libraries Connected CILIP

I don't like to blow my own trumpet (to quote Blackadder) but a recent graduate from this has just joined a top agency, after getting offers from A LOT of agents for their debut. Moral of story. If you're looking to write crime, you could do worse than listen to me :) Curtis Brown Creative

Well, The Silence of the Lambs (novel) has dated a little ... Hadn't remembered this reference to a certain royal.

Cracking read.

So many reasons to come and see this. Great historical chat. Massive book industry gossip. Supporting an indie bookshop, namely, the lovely BatterseaBookshop ... and us. Louise Hare & I shall put on a show.

Rewatching 1958 Sinbad. Used to watch these as a family. Yes, effects seem woeful now, & all the Arabian characters played by white people, but that was a diff era. Huge nostalgia factor. Also find myself sympathisng with Cyclops. Minding his own business till Sinbad comes along.
