Happy Publication Day to @katieallenauthor.bsky.social for her life-affirming new novel #HappyIsTheOne about a man whose destiny is tied to Halley's Comet.
I loved Katie's debut #EverythingHappensForAReason: she writes so beautifully & can't wait to get my paws on this one.

Absolutely over the moon to see #TheCure included in @thetimes.com best thrillers of 2025 so far, in sterling company.
You see that trigger-happy psychotic Russian president?
He's mine.
"A thought-provoking thriller with much to say about our obsession with looking youthful."
Made my month.

I'm over the moon with this @scifinow.bsky.social review: a beautifully written, discerning analysis of #TheCure, do check it out, link in reply.
"The Cure is yet another piece of insightfully thrilling writing from the master of ethical science dystopia."
Wow. I might get that written on my grave.

It's Publication Day for #TheCure!
I decided signing fresh copies in a gloriously sunny
@blackwelloxford.bsky.social & @dauntbooks.bsky.social Summertown would be the best pub day pics, because only through the passion of booksellers do our words ever reach the hearts & minds of readers.
Thank you.

Gem has excelled, she even has syringes and gloves!
We have our local launch at the bookshop tonight: what a perfect start to the day.
Just 1 week to go until official publication!

Turns out my fictional cure for ageing in #TheCure isn't so fictional after all.
You can buy a gene therapy called The Terminator (I kid you not) for just over a million bucks, & secure an extended, healthy old age.
The Cure is out on the 10th April.
Welcome to your future.

I visited Isis Audio to meet my second narrator, Gemma Lawrence, who reads my Omnicide Investigator Mara's chapters in the #audiobook of THE CURE.
Such a joy hearing professionals breathing life into your words & listening to your characters bloom.
Many thanks Gemma & Molly for letting me sit in!

Happy Publication Day to @guymorpuss.bsky.social for his fabulous #ATrialInThreeActs.
I flew through it: a meticulously woven legal mystery that builds to a sensational climax.
I predict a horde of Charles Konig devotees, avidly peeling back the covers on this deliciously British barrister.

Lovely to meet the amazing narrator Sherry Baines & listen in on the recording of The Cure.
It's so inspiring hearing your words read by a professional & the pages you've sweated over for months taking on new life.
Thanks to Sherry & Ulverscroft for hosting me, audiobook available for preorder soon!

Some more wonderful reviews for #TheCure.
I know how hard it is for authors to fit in proof requests whilst balancing their own writing, work & family commitments, so a heartfelt thanks to Awais, Trevor, Julie & Russ for your support.
Always appreciated, never taken for granted.
Seven weeks to go!

I'm delighted to invite #Oxfordshire readers to the local launch of THE CURE at Witney Waterstones on April 3rd.
My latest speculative thriller explores what might happen if we find a cure for ageing, & we'll be delving into the research & the unscrupulous billionaires who inspired it. Do join us.

I've been supported at local library events by 3 fabulous #indiebookshops:
The Madhatter Bookshop in Burford, the Wantage Bookshop & Mostly Books in Abingdon.
I took in my proofs of THE CURE this week & lost myself browsing.
Such beautiful shops & displays, all different: strongly recommend a visit!

Had a lovely day in Oxford dropping off proofs of #TheCure.
Saw Elizabeth at the stunning @dauntbooks.bsky.social Summertown store who has been a wonderful supporter of my books.
I always feel grateful for the support from #bookshops who work so hard to promote our novels, even when times are tough.

Next Thursday is the cover reveal for my new #thriller, THE CURE, out in April.
The inspiration for my latest dystopia is the rampant and highly profitable anti-ageing industry.
If ageing is cured & we all live well past a century, what could possible go wrong?!
I cannot wait to hear what you think

I read some amazing books over Xmas but
#abeginnersguidetodying tops my list.
This joyous, uplifting celebration of life was written after Simon aged 46 was told he had only weeks to live.
His frank & humorous insights on facing death convey a serenity & gratitude I aspire to.
Highly recommend.

As I write dark thrillers about dark futures that are inspired by the increasingly dystopian events of our present, I thought I'd choose a smiley image to say hi to everyone here.
Looking forward to making new friends & reconnecting with old: authors, readers & anyone who feels like saying hi!
