Wow, the Jeffrey Flint books are reissued! Fab ebook box set at £1.99 for all five. If you're into archaeology and crime, and quite like a bit of 90s nostalgia too, they're the perfect read.
Flint digs again! @lume_books have re-released my #Archaeology #mystery series box set, including new author's notes on the historical setting of each book. @The_CWA geni.us/flint-murder-b…
Fab author speaking in Manchester for those looking for an erudite yet entertaining evening at the Portico.
If you are in the Manchester area in early February, Matthew Booth is bringing his novel, The House of Skulls, to the Portico Library!
Absolutely fabulous book; I loved it. The cover is gorgeous, but it isn't the best bit!

Thrilled to be quoted by the prestigious W&AYB from an article they commissioned from me for the 2024 edition. So busy editing and working @The_CWA I only just spotted it!
In this exclusive extract, editor @DeaWriter highlights some of the pitfalls to be alert to as you edit your writing. The Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2024 publishes tomorrow! Read: tinyurl.com/yc6dje93
Good news from Sarah-Clare! A super writer and a lovely person, so well worth checking out.
Delighted to discover that my poetry pamphlet cache-cache is featured in the @PoetryBookSoc Winter 2022 Selections... poetrybooks.co.uk/collections/pb…
Sarah-Clare Conlon is always worth listening to. And a live event at Lancaster Castle courtroom! Fabulous.
Next Wednesday, come and hear me talk lighthouses and shipwrecks, in a castle, with free refreshments. This lovely illustration of Plover Scar was created for my piece in the #LancashireStories anthology by Rachel Crawshaw. Tickets here, fer nowt an all... eventbrite.co.uk/e/lancashire-s…
Really hope Alan Garner wins the @TheBookerPrizes. The books of his that I read as a child then a teenager had a huge impact on me. I know all the other writers are amazing, but personally, in my gut... please let it be Alan.
For crime-fiction history aficionados, the magnum opus you've been waiting for. And a third off! (Still as heavy though.)
The Life of Crime is still 33% off on Amazon UK, but not for much longer: tinyurl.com/2hpzd2bc. And maybe a book that earns plaudits from both the Daily Mail and the Morning Star, not to mention the 'i' and the Spectator, can truly claim to be wide-ranging in its appeal 😀
Thank you! Some cracking stories from wonderful authors @The_CWA. My other favourites were by @ChrissiePoulson, Chris Simms, L C Tyler, @AndrewJRTaylor and @CathStaincliffe
Super book from @The_CWA, with stories from great writers such as @medwardsbooks and @DeaWriter, @kateellisauthor and @Jasonthriller.
I have just lost my wedding ring - in Buxton Derbyshire - just after giving a talk this afternoon - dropped I think on St John’s rd - if anyone finds it I would be so grateful - it is an old gold ring with a cross on the face. V embarrassed + grateful for RTs.
We're still buzzing from all the fun at the Byte Shorts Showcase Wednesday evening. Congrats again to all our finalists: @nicolamira1 @DeaWriter Laurence Kershook, and @helenbellauthor. And to our winner @SarahBedwell6 who took home £100 in prize money!
Martin Edwards, talking here about his latest non-fic book The Life of Crime, is surely speaking for every writer. And editor...
Working on the final, final, final proof checking right now! Mind you, I could keep checking forever and still find things I want to change 🙂
