💙📚 #Booksky Find something new to read and support a cracking little indie press and authors as you do!
Lovely Scribblers, you know we like to be positive, but naturally selling books is tough - indeed website sales for the last few months have been slim.

We keep almost 100% of the income when you buy direct - and we can therefore give more % to our authors too!

It IS brilliant!!
Fancy reading about an impossible heist in Renaissance Venice? My historical thriller CARNIVAL OF LIES comes out in paperback New Year's Day (yes, 2026 is only 62 days away!) Sir Ian Rankin called it 'brilliant'. @panmacmillan.bsky.social @panmacnews.bsky.social @jennybrownagency.bsky.social

My debut novel, Tombstoning, is back from the dead. The book was first published in 2006, so next year is its twentieth birthday. To celebrate, my publisher @orendabooks.bsky.social are reissuing it with a lovely new cover and an introduction by Chris Brookmyre.
