Here are my authors’ books published in 2021. What a supremely talented and marvellous bunch they are. Makes me feel all fuzzy. Congrats and love to them all.

Wow! 😱 #BookPost today continues to thrill with #MurderAtGullsNest by @JessKiddHerself 🕵️‍♂️🔎 the first in an exciting new series set in the 1950s and starring former nun Nora Breen, whose retirement to the seaside is anything but serene... Can't wait! Thanks @FaberBooks 🙏Out Mar

I do love a round number, so I am so happy to see In the Blink of an Eye reach 4,000 reviews, and SO grateful for every single person who took the time to share their thoughts about the book. I read and appreciate every single one, thank you x

This piece about a young man who died young and isolated but lived an extraordinarily huge life online is brilliant and so moving.

We only learnt of our son’s secret online life after he died at 25 https://t.co/J5F26STsJ2

[Jo Callaghan @JoCallaghanKat]

No idea why or for how long, but the award winning In the Blink of an Eye is currently only £5 in paperback!

A real-life painting, a story reimagined. The writing is as artistic as the image, the colours and texture of the literary tapestry rich and masterful

Amazing opportunity for a writer to get a free critique of their work by one of the best editors out there⬇️✨✨✨

[Phoebe Morgan @Phoebe_A_Morgan]

Frankfurt is a weird time for writers; it can feel like everyone is getting 6 figure deals (they’re not!). To do something for those who aren’t yet at that stage, I’m offering a free critique of your first 10k words & synopsis (fiction only) - to enter RT by midnight Sat! 📚✍️
