Drone feed incoming - confirmed. Four months today until ‘A Reluctant Spy’ comes out from Headline Books! What’s a Legends asset? Pre-order to find out…

Lots of bollocks flying about Spurs playing a weakened team on Tuesday and not trying. I can guarantee we'll field the best Under eight's team you've ever seen. Rosie the dog in nets, and Jimmy Greave's ghost up top. Huge W incoming

Tana French is one of those authors that makes writing seem like the easiest thing in the world. (Vicious plot twist, it isn't). Absolutely loving The Hunter, and trying to savour every word.

The streets will never forget these Ajax fans counting down to the final whistle

Still one of the greatest videos ever

New issue = new books and I have crime crackers from Nadine Matheson 🇬🇩 Abir Mukherjee Kellye Garrett Emiko Jean John Connolly Denzil Meyrick Dugald Bruce-Lockhart Kristina Pérez Updates Linda Calvey and a chat with William Shaw/GW Shaw author

Adam Simcox tells me Chris Whitaker knocked it out the park with this one. Can’t wait to read this one!

Not often I’m lost for words, but just heard from that #SevenDays is officially a Sunday Times top 10 bestseller! Speechless!

Undying gratitude to David Henry Headley, Phoebe Morgan Alainna Georgiou and the Hodder team & every bookseller that’s helped shift em!

Day officially made!

“This high-octane ambitious globe-trotting thriller has big screen written all over it.”

Massive thanks Lisa Howells for such a fab review! #SevenDays

Imposter Syndrome by Joseph Knox is what all great crime noir should be - sexy, scuzzy, tricksy and compulsive. Absolutely essential stuff, out in July, it'll rejuvenate your jaded crime eyes.

It wouldn’t be publication day without a bacon butty. Massive thanks to David Henry Headley Phoebe Morgan and the rest of the Hodder Fiction team for helping me get #SevenDays out there! It’s a far better book because of all of you. No, seriously, that 1st draft is never pretty!

Thank you Steve Waterstones Trafalgar Sq. for a stellar job hosting the chat with me Aube Rey Lescure and Saraid. Had a great night - and hopefully we did a decent enough job to get invited back sometime 😉

Huge congratulations to the wonderful @femikay_author on being shortlisted for The Ian Fleming Steel Dagger!

A HUGE thanks to all who bought ‘High Vaultage’! If you did it would be HUGELY helpful if you could rate and review it on Goodreads/ Amazon/ Audible, etc. It really helps with discoverability & word spreading which will mean more Victoriocity & more Even Greater London⚙️ 💛

During lockdown, I wrote 30k words about VAR and measurement theory. No-one wanted to publish it - they all said it was mad.

But offsides like this Coventry one mean I can't stop thinking about it.

3 major issues.

Civil War's a genuine modern masterpiece. Totally gripping, brilliantly made, and I've been thinking about it almost constantly since I saw it. A lot of reviewers seem to hate its apolitical stance (which is the whole point of the fucking film) but ignore them and go and see it!

Stunning book post today - anything from Joseph Knox immediately goes to the top of the TBR pile...thanks Alison Barrow

Adam Simcox The Guardian James Briggs Great piece! I bloody love Across the Tracks in Brighton, with its whiff of roll-up smoke and the massive old Wharfedales balanced on boxes. A proper record shop!
