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

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.

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!

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
