Looking for a #Thriller?

When Briony Campbell confesses to killing her boyfriend, a straightforward crime soon turns into a mystery.

Haunted by demons from his past, lawyer SJ Robin is assigned to the case. As confusion and the body count rises, he must question who's guilty & who's innocent.
No matter how many years you write, it's still scary sending your work to someone to read!

Just finished reading The Drift by CJ Tudor. Highly disturbing after Covid and lock downs etc but also really interesting! Definitely echos of The Last of Us in there.

4/5

Always so exciting when someone reads, and enjoys, your book!

Sadly I am resting at home with pretty awful fatigue, rather than going to the Forwards festival in Bristol to celebrate one of my beloved bestie’s birthday today. So am catching up with posting about the Sealey Challenge - here's another @hempressbooks.bsky.social by @nikkidudleywriter.bsky.social
#SealeyChallenge- Days 17 & 18 These seemed to speak to each other or make a connection somehow with their layers of voices, ideas and narratives. Day 17 Rupert Loydell's 2011 Shearsman Books collection, Wildlife. Day 18 is Nikki Dudley 's Hem Press collection Exorcism Becomes Habit from 2023

I got shortlisted by @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social!

I guess there are some benefits to rage-wriring a bunch of perimenopause poems 😂

May come to nothing but glad to be in the running. It's a real compliment to be shortlisted by BSB.

My son asked what my favourite place was as a kid and quickly added, "Don't say the library!"

Sorry buddy, it was the library...

Sometimes for a thriller writer, true crime stories really do act as a good muse 😂

It's frightening really.

Editing: I love sending my works in progress to my e-reader and reading it like an already published book.

Have you tried it?

Helps me spot loads of errors 😂
