I, like many others, have had their work stolen by Meta to develop its AI systems. It feels like a bully taking your lunch money and not being able to do anything about it.

But, maybe we can…

[Nasheema Lennon Author @Nasheema_writes]

So excited for the news to be out and to be working with @HarperNorthUK and @litagentfran on my next psychological thriller Going, Going, Gone 🎉🎉

Finally the news is out! 🎉

For some reason, the wonderful team at @HarperNorthUK are letting me write TWO MORE spicy romances out this year!

Endless thank yous to those who made it happen, & all the readers who picked up Kindling!

Now to go and finish this epilogue 🤓

[Natalie Chandler @NatalieC_Author]

Fantastic review for The Voices from a @StockportNoir attendee!

[Bert’s Books @bertsbooks]

Time for a bit of reality - a thread.

Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills.

The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter.

Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.

[Naomi Kelsey @naomikelsey_]

Exciting news for book lovers! The Darkening Globe is one the titles included in the @Waterstones preorder offer this weekend! Go go go!

[Chloë Ashby @chloelashby]

[Natalie Chandler @NatalieC_Author]

So pleased with this gorgeous review from the very generous @adeleparks

Not to alarm anyone but it’s PUBLICATION EVE & if anyone wants me I’ll be in a corner cuddling a cockapoo & drinking a bottle of wine with a straw. Please keep the dogs in gravy bones (& authors in vinho verde) & buy a copy of The Voices if you can! #WritingCommunity #authors

[Naomi Kelsey @naomikelsey_]

Fancy a signed AND dedicated copy of The Darkening Globe? If you order through the lovely @ForumBooks you can get your hands on one! Plus the added bonus of a glorious excuse to visit Corbridge, Alnwick or Whitley Bay, so you’d also be buying your future self a lovely day out!

[Naomi Kelsey @naomikelsey_]

Can I persuade you to preorder The Darkening Globe by sharing the books that influenced me?! Explorers’ wives, haunted objects, gaslighting, secrets, colonialism, sisterhood- all play a part! And mist. Lots of mist.

[Natalie Chandler @NatalieC_Author]

Much fun was had at my first-ever radio experience, chatting about The Voices, dark dreams & cockapoos! Thanks so much @BBCLancashire & @SharonHartley_ for being gentle with me
