Introducing Medlock by B.P. Walter writing as S.G. Hartnell This atmospheric and disturbingly tense contemporary reimagining of #TheSecretGarden is coming October 2025. Pre-order now bit.ly/MedlockWTS #Medlock

Incredibly excited for readers to experience MEDLOCK by B.P. Walter next year. 'The world Hartnell has created is ostensibly the world of The Secret Garden, but so much darker, stranger and more frightening. This is not a retelling but a sinister reimagining.' OCTOBER 25

A dark and twisty thriller set 1990s and present-day Ireland, DARKROOMS explores abuses of power, inherited trauma and female agency within patriarchal structures. It's an utterly assured and unsettling novel, and one of the best debuts I've ever worked on. COMING MARCH 2026.

Looking forward to being on the panel of ‘Writing for Page, Stage and Screen: Fiction and Script’ at Friends House on 29th March in partnership with Writers & Artists and The Open University.

Big, exciting changes in the Sphere team make way for a cool new role, quite similar to the one I started in over 5 (!!!!!) years ago: shorturl.at/6Jd4b

THE FINAL SIX by Akinari Asakura, translated by Haydn Trowell, is unlike anything I've read: a uniquely dark suspense novel, offering a glimpse into the ruthless corporate work culture of Japan. June 2026 can't come soon enough!
