A big THANK YOU to @nikimackay.bsky.social for this blurb for my forthcoming thriller:

“Shot Clock is a slick, fast-paced novel that delves into the fascinating world of the NBA and Las Vegas's less glittery side.... A taut thriller with emotional depth.”
--Niki Mackay, author of The Due Date

Pretty perfect start to the morning! A pre-spar fuel up with an ace new book - #TheCountdownKiller by the brill @samhollandbooks.bsky.social ! And what a flipping opening! Already hook, line and sinkered!

Next week the paperback of #TheTwenty is out in the wild. At the same time as a million celebrity Xmas books. So if you fancy a preorder it would be very much appreciated. And Chris Whitaker liked it and he’s never wrong (thank you, Chris!)

Here’s a bit of a random ask!

I am looking for books written by family carers about their experiences of caring - like The Reluctant Carer, An Extra Pair of Hands by Kate Mosse, Who Cares by Emily Kenway, Twelve Moons by Caro Giles or Tender by Penny Wincer.

📚💙Thank you for your help!

Loved this documentary about the making of #IT the mini series. One of the first things to properly scare me (book and series). Interesting to hear the cast and crew recount what it was like to film. A good watch for the #horrorfans 🤡 #hellobluesky
