Hi. That's me below, posing beneath The Great Orme, a huge limestone headland in North-Wales.
My debut psychological thriller THE GREAT ORME is out now and I want to ask you from the bottom of my dark Welsh heart to pick it up and join me on the ride/slide🖤

This morning, a little reminder of when The Great Orme cover landed in its final shape...

Thank you to everyone who has bought it, supported me, and reviewed it 🖤

A great bonfire/ fireworks night in the UK (although the noise of the fireworks upsets many dogs ☹️). The primordial fascination of fire, always has been a lure to humans

Forget cheap scares this Halloween - The Great Orme crawls into your mind and stays there. A chilling confession unraveling one terrible truth: sometimes, doing what’s right can destroy you.

Someone else suggested The Great Orme reads like The Great Or Me

Paul D Coombs @pauldcoombs.bsky.social · 12d

There needs to be, with title suggestions like those!🤣
