Here’s a little sneak peek preview of ALL AT SEA (out in Feb) in @thebookseller.com
I still get a massive kick out of seeing my work in those hallowed pages alongside some of the absolute very best writers around.

Had the honour of chatting with some @ucalgary.bsky.social students about crime fiction and their own writing.
They’re a clever bunch!!!

It’s UK paperback publication day for Murder in Tinseltown.
And as HarperNorth is celebrating five years this autumn, I thought I’d stack up my contribution to this wonderful publisher and team’s output (plus something new!)
Here’s to five MORE years and beyond!

I was saddened to hear of Allan Ahlberg’s passing a few weeks ago. Many happy childhood memories involving his books.
Bought one of my favourites for the next generations of Whitelaws.
