FLAT 401, my debut psychological suspense novel, published by @orionbooks.bsky.social, is currently 99p on Kindle (and averaging 4.8*). It tells the story of Jay: after being in prison for a crime he didn't commit, he's blackmailed about the crime he actually committed.

For those attending @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social or who just happen to be near @imaginedthings.bsky.social - I was due to sign copies of my debut, FLAT 401 as a nice way to kick off #SAHM. Unfortunately I have COVID, but signed copies are still in the shop. There's also other author signings!

First sighting of #Flat401 out in shops, and it's in @waterstones.bsky.social Gower Street - FACE OUT! Thanks so much 🙏 #BookSky #NewBook #ThrillerBooks

For those who didn't get a copy of #Flat401 at my launch on Thursday (because we sold out), there's already someone selling a second-hand copy on Amazon, so you can get it cheap! 🤣 #BookSky #BookBloggers #BookReviewers

Happy publication day to myself and these fine fellow authors!

Thanks so much to @jerichowriters.bsky.social for having me as their closing keynote at #LFOW25. I had a great conversation with @debialper.bsky.social about my journey to publishing Flat 401 (this week!) with @orionbooks.bsky.social . I hope it was useful to attendees and wish them the best!

Would I even be advertising my book properly if I didn't have a squiggly line image? I think this captures a lot of the key elements in Flat 401 well, and hope it excites reader interest.

Any mention in @thebookseller.com is always a high point for me - makes it seem more real.

Dropping off finished copies to booksellers for them to read ahead of publication was fun - I love chatting about the book, and getting further recommendations.

My debut psychological suspense, Flat 401, is out on 3rd July. I haven't posted that much self-promo on here (have kept it to other platforms), but probably should, especially with this great graphic from @orionbooks.bsky.social

Really appreciated reading Mo Fanning & Alex Call in this week's @thebookseller.com about how we still need queer stories. I hope Flat 401 - with its diverse cast and universal themes - finds a wide audience & plays its part in meeting this need.

Check out the issue for other upcoming books! 🏳️‍🌈 📚

I enjoyed my first panels as an author at CrimeFest last week. (More pics coming on Insta.)

One of the experiences I wanted from being a published author was engaging with authors and readers at an event like this! I'm so grateful to the organisers, my fellow panelists, attendees, and supporters!

I think an additional comma would have been good here; what about you? #BookSky #Punctuation #EatsShootsAndLeaves

This photo may look uninspiring, but I know that inside that package is draft 4.0 of my second book! This will be the first time I read it through from beginning to end "as a reader", so I'm excited. #AmWriting #AmEditing

That's me done for, then.

Congratulations @spacemandan13.bsky.social @katekemp.bsky.social on your places on this prestigious panel! Look forward to hearing you all in conversation @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social

So, it seems like people are still willing to buy books!
