Once again I didn't win the Nobel Prize for Literature. But you could ease my crushing disappointment by buying my new book. You won't regret it, honest.😊

Thank you, but no.

I'm growing a beard (I had one for a few weeks back in 2015) and it's giving me a shock. When I glance in the mirror, I see my father's face.

"A Rage of Souls is Chris Nickson at his best – complex, compelling and, above all. compassionate." How's that for the conclusion of a review? Why not read the whole thing and maybe it will persuade you to buy the book (hint: you should).

This begins as one of the most baffling and impenetrable of Simon Westow’s cases. We are in Leeds, 1826. He solves a case of fraud, the fraudster is sentence to hang, but reprieved. He then r…

Thank you all so much for giving A Rage of Souls a big publication day boost yesterday. If you keep on buying it, maybe it can leap all the way to the best seller list. Are you game? Yes? Then you know what to do.

Happy Publication Day @chrisnickson2.bsky.social ! ✨🎺🏆🥳🎉🎊🍾

Chris Nickson @chrisnickson2.bsky.social · 8d

Indulge me, please (after all, it's my publication day). We writers sweat and fret and dream, , and with the help of our editors and publishers, launch it into the world. Sometimes, not often, we'll get a review like this and know it's all worthwhile.
