Hello! I’m back home after a fantastic few days out in the big wide world doing fun author stuff. On Wednesday Adrian and I travelled up to London for this year’s Self Publishing Show Live, the biggest indie author conference in the UK. This year the event was held at the iconic County Hall a stone’s throw from the Thames and the London Eye. Before all that, though, I paid a visit to Carmelite House, the headquarters of my publisher Bookouture, and had a catch up with my edit

Hello! Just a quick one from me to let you know The Greek Island has officially dropped to 99p/99c for the next week! Which means if you’ve been tempted by my sun-soaked Greek island thriller but haven’t grabbed a copy yet, now’s the perfect time. The Kindle Countdown Deal runs from today (Friday 5 June) until Friday 12 June and has been organised by my publisher, Bookouture. Don’t forget that if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for free! I couldn’t have asked for a

Hello! The Greek Island is officially OUT NOW! The Greek Island is my brand-new sun-soaked thriller about secrets, lies, simmering tensions and one VERY dysfunctional friendship group holidaying together on a tiny Greek island in the middle of the Ionian Sea. And, judging by the early reviews, lots of readers are having exactly the kind of fun with it that I hoped they would. As well as being called the perfect beach read, reviewers have variously described it as ‘gripping’,

Hello! The Greek Island will finally be out in the world on Friday. Eeeek. Honestly, release weeks never seem to get any less nerve-wracking. You’d think after eleven psych thrillers I’d be cool, calm and collected about publication days by now, but sadly not. I’m still checking Goodreads far too often and convincing myself every mildly ambiguous review is a personal attack. 😂 Thankfully, though, the early reviews for The Greek Island have mainly been lovely, and one thing t

Hello! I’m sure many of you are busy looking forward to your summer holidays. Sadly we’ve already had ours, but what a holiday it was! We’re back home after a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Borneo, the third biggest island in the world, and a mecca for wildlife lovers. We spent the first week in Sabah, staying in jungle lodges and cruising along the mighty Kinabatangan River. We were so lucky to see macaques, proboscis monkeys, monitor lizards, otters, wild orangutans, a crocodil

Hello! I'm thrilled to be able to share the title and cover of my next psychological thriller with you today. The Greek Island will be published in ebook, audiobook and paperback on Friday, 29 May. It seems like ages, but it's actually only just over eleven weeks away, and I know the time will fly by. If you want to be one of the first people to read it, you can pre-order it here and it will drop onto your Kindle the morning it's released. The Greek Island is the perfect hol

Hello! It's the way so many psychological thrillers start, isn't it? Wife discovers husband is keeping secrets from her. Not just little white lies. Big, fat secrets that change everything. Cue progressive complications, twists, turns, terrifying reveals and - if you're lucky - the wife comes out on top and the husband gets his comeuppance. Because, let's face it, it's always the husband, am I right?! I know how those women feel. Because when Adrian asked me to proofread his

Hello and a very Happy New Year! I begin with an admission: January is my least favourite month. Over my many years on this planet I have come to the conclusion that it has no redeeming features whatsoever. It’s cold, dark, long and joyless. I’m always broke, tired and lacking in energy and enthusiasm for just about anything. Last year proved my point. I spent the first week of the New Year recovering from a nasty bout of the flu. I decided to do Dry January (over-rated, if y

Hello! I know I've been popping into your inbox recently with news of the release of The Girl in the Window , but I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to these last couple of months when I've managed to escape the writing cave. At the end of September Adrian and I caught the train up to South Wales to visit our friends Penny and Steve. I've known Penny since secondary school, so over forty years. You might remember us walking the Midhurst Way from Haslemere to Arunde
