Who is this smug woman? Rashid took it at Xmas & I’ve only just seen it! Seems fitting to post it on my publication day. Not that I’m smug but in 2017 I was on the verge of giving up on writing, so I feel very lucky to now have 5 novels out there & a TV series based on one of them coming soon. 🤸♂️🎬💙📚

It’s paperback publication day for The Other Tenant! If you spot it in the supermarkets or shops, do please send me a pic 🙏🤗 as I have to stay at home today for a delivery. Thanks to everyone who’s read and reviewed the hardback. I’m so grateful. ❤️

This is my fifth novel (paperback coming Thursday) and I can no longer remember whether it was harder or easier to write than the others. I have a feeling every novel nearly kills me and then I forget the pain and start writing another one. #TheOtherTenant 💙📚 #thriller #crimefiction

I just had to buy this beautiful edition of The Secret History. It was displayed in my new local bookshop - Station Books in Tunbridge Wells - but now it’s here, posing next to my ornamental vase. My old paperback version is so dog-eared…

Popped into my new local bookshop today, Station Books, Tunbridge Wells, to sign some of my thrillers and buy a few Christmas presents. I spotted @laurasrobinson.bsky.social’s The Square of Sevens in the window! Laura and Ross, the new owners, have impeccable taste in books! 💙📚
