Sunday Times bestselling author. Dog lover. Gin drinker. Tattoo enthusiast. THE GATHERING out now: https://shor.by/CJTudor. THE BURNING GIRLS streaming on Netflix UK. SERENITY FALLS out 2026!
So, 140,00 words, 18 months and many mornings waking with anxiety later and SERENITY FALLS is finally finished! I started this book in July 2024, two weeks after my mum died. It's been a slog. At times, I worried I'd never bring it together. But today I wrote those two magic words. Now for a gin!

Such a brilliant time at #KnihaBrno (Brno Book Fair) in Czech. Beautiful city. Amazing audience. Signed books for an hour and a half - oh, and bumped into these scary dudes! 😱🤣

Prague is a beautiful city - plus they have the best bookshops!! 😆

Got the best greeting from my Czech publishers when I arrived in Prague yesterday!

Tomorrow I fly to Prague, en route to the Brno Book Festival (Kniha Brno). Very excited. First book event in a while and first visit to Czech! 😃

Pumpkin carving today. Betty carved Alastor from Hazbin Hotel and Freddy from FNAF. I went for classic scary pumpkin! 🎃🎃🎃

This whole article is massively offensive, displaying a complete lack of understanding of the writing process. Plus the stuff about 'famous authors' is insulting to every other author slogging their arses off to write great books. Tone deaf.

So chuffed to be included here alongside some of the very best horror authors around. If you're looking for scary Halloween reads, dive in!

Visited @waterstonesblue today. Thrilled to see my books on display (in fine company). Also, met the lovely Alice who told me she recommends all my books which made my year! I've been out of the publishing bubble for a while so it was a nice reminder I'm actually an author! 🤣

Watched a few films on the plane to Florida and back. Favourite - The Substance. Least favourite - Sinners. Might not be a popular opinion but I just didn't think it was a good *vampire* movie.

Coasters we loved and screamed on at Disney, Universal and Epic: Tron, Space Mountain, Guardians of the Galaxy, Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Hulk, Velocicoaster and Stardust Racers. Guardians still tops them all for me! 😱🎢

Been away for a couple of weeks, doing research for the new book. #SerenityFalls is out next fall!

Every year I forget our anniversary. This year it's extra special as it's 25 years. Still forgot. 😬 But thanks for the memories, Mr Hocking @studiobloke.bsky.social 😁😊🥰

My daughter is practising her face painting skills for a school fun day next weekend! 🦋 Life of a horror writer, right? 😆

Urge. I really hate it when our daughter goes back to school. I miss having her around. The house is too quiet!

Reading 2025 #25-27: Holiday reading. We were travelling from Edinburgh to Denmark by train so plenty of time for reading. I had a total @cjtudor.bsky.social fest, and read The Gathering, The Taking of Annie Thorne, and The Other People. All fab.

Anyone else watching #AlienEarth? I really enjoyed the first episode. Felt Ep. 2 was a bit all over the place. Hoping Ep. 3 is an improvement.

Took Betty to see Hades Town this afternoon. Enjoyed it but not sure it quite lived up to the hype. 🌹

Just finished watching The Good Place (missed it first time around) and I think it might be one of my favourite TV shows ever. Perfect. 🥲

Trip up to Nottingham (my hometown) this weekend to catch up with friends. Cracking time. Great city. Wrote a lot of my first novel, The Chalk Man, in the Waterstones there!

Also, just finished this brutal beauty by @keithrosson.bsky.social. I love a good vampire novel 😉 and this is a seriously good vampire novel. Gritty seventies revenge noir with bloodsuckers. What's not to enjoy?

Read a few books while I was away - blurry pic because of sun cream on the lens! 😂
