I wrote a book that's basically Dexter meets The Bourne Identity in 1987 NYC, so if that's sufficiently intriguing, feel free to preorder

Spent some time today contemplating how Jane Seymour was absolutely stunning in 1982's The Scarlet Pimpernel
still photo of English actress Jane Seymour (white lady with her dark hair piled into a cloud of ringlets, in a white period dress) from the 1982 film The Scarlet Pimpernel, did you know Jane was fluent in Dutch and French as well as English? Amazing woman fr

About to send out ARC copies of the new book, which is always the time I have my usual freak out that actually the book is shit and why am I doing this to myself...

This is my 13th book, and no, somehow it never gets easier 😐

love how Moorcock's covers get progressively more deranged - aspirational

Walter Mosley knows the score
white text on black background - a quote by Walter Mosley (credited) which reads "In the pages of any hardboiled book worth its ink is the question - can I do right in a world gone wrong? If the victim is as guilty as the assailant, if the judge is having an affair with the defendant's wife, if the president knows that there are no weapons of mass destruction, then what can a foot soldier do? There is no one answer to this question...The writer may have a notion of what is right and make a world where the ending, if not exactly happy, is at least satisfying."

I'm going to be at Dymocks CBD Melbourne tomorrow from 12 noon, to sign and celebrate Love Your Bookshop Day 😊

I'm taking a suitcase of ALL SHALL MOURN copies down with me -this means that I will be in a bookshop, with an empty suitcase and my credit card, which as you know is very dangerous

For Banned Books Week in the US (banned books! What a concept) here's the only book of mine that's ever been banned-

THE KILLING CODE is about girl codebreakers tracking a serial killer in 1943 Washington DC, if you liked The Bletchley Circle you might dig it
(why was it banned? girls kissing! 💋)
social media tile - against a blue-purple gradient background of rough bricks, the US and Australian covers of THE KILLING CODE by Ellie Marney are attractively displayed

Hey so Georgia Harper won the Sisters in Crime Davitt award for Best Debut with WHAT I WOULD DO TO YOU and you should check it out!

"Capital punishment has returned. But if the victim's family wants the perpetrator to die, they must agree to do it themselves..."

Just saw a video review of my book which the subtitles referred to as NUNS SHALL SLEEP and I gotta tell you that sounds like an equally intriguing story

I have this book called NO ONE IS SAFE (my adult debut!) coming next year, and so with this tile I fulfil my obligation to provide an "arrows pointing to genre tropes" post in the lead up to release, as the law stipulates
social media tile with a paperback mockup of the cover of NO ONE IS SAFE by Ellie Marney, shown against a photo background of teal-washed cobbled streets - around the book, pink arrows point to genre trope conventions such as "morally gray" and "amnesiac hero" and "shocking twists"
