I can’t believe I get to do this again.

I am thrilled to announce that my second novel, The Barbecue at Number 9, will be published by the wonderful team at @HutchHeinemann next spring.

I’ve put a little outline below, & it’s available for pre-order now via the link in my bio

Into the Top 3 now... @jenniegauthor.bsky.social is first up with The Barbecue at No 9.

Set during the broadcast of Live Aid, this is the story of one cul-de-sac in 1980's Britain. I loved it!

The List of Suspicious Things was a tough act to follow but by Jove she's done it! The Barbecue at No 9 by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social is just as perfect in every single way. You're gonna want this on your bookshelves come February. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📚 Two For Tuesday 📚

My #TwoForTuesday this week features two cracking charity shop bargains. I've read #TheListOfSuspiciousThings by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social but couldn't leave it languishing on the shelf. #LittleRedDeath by @alexandrakbenedict.bsky.social is on my wishlist.

Bert's doesn't have favourites, but if we did, supplier of jammy biscuits @jenniegauthor.bsky.social might be one of them.

The proofs of my second novel The Barbecue at No.9. arrived at my house today. I’m quite emotional. Not only are there quotes from two of my favourite authors (Marian Keyes & Rachel Joyce) but it just is incredible to me that this is my life. Feeling all the feelings.

Just seen the proof design for The Barbecue at No9 and I cannot WAIT for them to be printed! I wondered if I would find it as exciting as my debut and I can confirm I REALLY DO 😆 #booksky

I got so excited by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social ‘s visit earlier in the week I completely forgot to mention that she brought her friend Taylor Swift with her

The US reviews for #thelistofsuspiciousthings have started to come in & honestly? I’m so chuffed! I had this idea that maybe the novel would be too ‘northern’/specific to appeal & I couldn’t have been more wrong so far. I want to get the words from the Kirkus review tattooed on 😆 #booksky

Thrilled (and pretty shocked TBH!) that The List of Suspicious Things has been shortlisted for the Glass Bell Award this year. It’s such a phenomenal shortlist, including some of my own favourite reads of the year (and my mate @sarahbrooks.bsky.social ) #booksky

Been v.busy writing this past couple of weeks so just 2 books for the round up, but both doozy’s.

My fave TV show is Somebody Somewhere & my fave character is that of Joel, played with the utmost humanity by @jeffhillers and his memoir, Actress of a Certain Age is just gorgeous

It was The List of Suspicious Things, of course!

At the @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social 90th birthday party, guests were given a limited edition print to celebrate & mine was by the uber-talented Dapo Adeola. I’ve just collected it from the framers & omg I love it so much!

Thank you Dapo, thank you Penguin & HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY #booksky

Ey up. It’s Yorkshire Day, so it would be remiss of me not to point out that The List of Suspicious Things is my love letter to the county. #booksky
