Can't say too much because of spoilers but Elinor is a feisty FMC who takes the opportunity of the sinking of The Titanic to start a new life for herself & her baby son. #historicalfiction ##bookrecommendation

First sight of the US edition of The Lost Passenger in the wild, at Cedar Canoe Books in Muskoka, Ontario (thank you @PaulaJBoon). If anyone sees it in a US bookshop, I’d love a photo

I don’t suppose I’ll write a hundred books (unless there’s a trend for very very short historical fiction, or they figure out the eternal life thing), but even if I could, I don’t think the thrill of seeing a new one for the first time would ever get old. And this is my new one.

Loved The Rush by @bethlewis.bsky.social - three strong and intriguing women characters, a superbly well-drawn setting in the brutal world of the Gold Rush, and a murder mystery that kept me guessing till the end. Absolutely gripping.

Dropping off proofs of my new book The Lost Passenger at my local independent bookshops in Brighton, Hove, Shoreham and Steyning. Indie bookshops are so supportive of their local authors, so I’m delighted my publisher is producing this special edition only available at indies

Thank you Clare
I've just started reading 'That Bonesetter Woman' by @franquinn.bsky.social and I'm loving it. I've only read 16 pages and I'm already firmly rooting for Durie, the MC. I can tell this is going to be a wonderful reading experience!
