My new book Saltburn now has its own site.
With links to buy, reviews, soundtrack and interviews.

(And I recommend LinkTree to writers as it’s quick to set up and maintain.)

In case you missed it, we revealed our last cover of 2025 today in the form of Andrew Knighton's brilliant new novel, The Executioner's Price.
Here is the class of 2025 all together for the first time!
It was an ambitious schedule but we made it, somehow 😍

Although my first book was published in 2002, now is the first time I have had two books in print at the same time, Seven Nights and the Flamingo Hotel and Saltburn.
And I’m very proud of both, @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social @renardpress.com

If you’re in Derby then head along to the Derby Book Festival in the Market Hall. Buy some books, have a browse, eat at one of the great food places.
And book a stay at the Flamingo Hotel. 😆

Off to Derby today to sign some Flamingo Hotels. When it came out in 2020 it was lockdown. The box of books was left on my doorstep, collected. Now I get to do it at Derby Book Festival.

Ok… this is a BIG DEAL.
Published back in 2020, Seven Nights at the Flamingo Hotel by the unsurpassable @drewgum.bsky.social was our first novel… and as a consequence of us going to into hibernation for a while, it’s sadly been out of print.
NOT ANY LONGER!!!! IT’S BACK!!!!
